Discipline Categories a. The Disciplinary Matrix separates discipline recommendations into five groups labeled A through E with A as the lowest level of discipline and E as the highest. In using this matrix, the suggested category for a given violation should be the maximum punishment in assessing discipline. Mitigating factors explained in the previous section should then be considered. These factors may cause the recommendation to go down one or more categories. Finally, any previous same or similar violation should cause discipline to move up one or more categories appropriately.
