Definition of Discipline. In the administration of discipline, the University uses the corrective behavioral approach of a progressive disciplinary model (e.g., verbal reprimand, written reprimand, increment withholding, suspension, demotion and dismissal). This does not preclude the University from analyzing, on a case-by-case basis, the circumstances and facts of a particular situation(s) and taking a level of disciplinary action or other type of action deemed appropriate. The key element in disciplinary action is that of warning, in that the instance(s) or incident(s) is/are serious enough to require a disciplinary penalty.
