Disciplinary Policy and Procedure

The University's Disciplinary PolicyLink opens in a new window applies to all employees.

This policy and procedure is underpinned by the principles laid out in Statute 11 that members of Academic Staff have freedom within the law to question and test received wisdom, and to put forward new ideas and controversial or unpopular opinions, without placing themselves in jeopardy of losing their jobs or privileges. No academic employee will be subject to a disciplinary sanction as a consequence of exercising their right to academic freedom as defined within Statute 11.
