APPENDIX 1: COLLEGE ORDINANCE ON DISCIPLINE UNDER STATUTE XLVIII.2 Appendix to College Regulation 15 1. OFFENCES Where the victim of the offence committed, the student concerned or anyone else wishes to bring the matter to the attention of the police, normally formal proceedings will not be taken within the College until it is known whether or not the police intend to prosecute. However, even if the Police do become involved it may be necessary for the College to take disciplinary action. For the purposes of this Ordinance, offences are divided into two categories, minor and major. The Dean of College shall determine whether an offence or class of offence is minor or major. Any student, who is alleged to have committed an offence which is determined to be minor, shall have the matter dealt with by the Dean of College. Any student, who is alleged to have committed an offence which is determined to be major, shall have the matter dealt with by the Disciplinary Tribunal. Any student has the right to choose to be accompanied by his or her Tutor when having a meeting with the Dean of College in relation to matters detailed in these procedures. 2. (a) COMPOSITION OF THE COMMITTEE FOR DISCIPLINE The Committee for Discipline shall consist of five members of the Governing Body, one designated as Convenor, elected to serve for three years. (b) COMPOSITION OF THE DISCIPLINARY TRIBUNAL (i) The Disciplinary Tribunal shall consist of: Three members of the Committee for Discipline; two Tutors, appointed by the Tutorial Committee to hear a particular case; the Junior President and the President of the Middle Combination Room, or their deputies (who shall be the Vice-President of the JCR and the Treasurer of the Middle Combination Room respectively), to serve during their year of office; provided that any member of the Tribunal may continue to serve after the expiry of her/his term of service, if he/she is still in residence, until the conclusion of a particular case. (ii) The Convenor shall convene meetings of the Tribunal. Four members shall 17
constitute a quorum. The Convenor shall act as the Chairperson of the Disciplinary Tribunal. The Convenor shall select the three representatives of the Committee for Discipline by first ascertaining which members of the Committee are available, and if there are more than three available, by then casting lots. (iii) The Master, the Dean of College, the Chaplain and the Tutor of the student alleged to have committed an offence shall not be eligible to be members of the Tribunal. (iv) If any member of the Tribunal who has attended the hearing of evidence is unable to be present at a subsequent meeting, a substitute shall not attend in that member's place. (c) COMPOSITION OF THE GOVERNING BODY For the purposes of this Ordinance, the Dean of College, the Tutor of the Student alleged to have committed the offence, and the members of the Disciplinary Tribunal, shall not be reckoned members of the Governing Body for the purposes of determining a majority. 3. DEFINITION OF 'PROCEEDINGS' For the purposes of this Ordinance, 'proceedings' shall mean: (a) the presentation of evidence relating to the alleged offence; (b) discussion of the case subsequent to the presentation of evidence, but not the consideration and taking of the decision. 4. MINOR OFFENCES (a) For minor offences the Dean of College shall be empowered to fine a student up to a maximum sum of £350 in respect of each offence (of which no more than £200 shall be immediately payable, the remainder being by way of suspended fine only), and / or to impose such sentence other than requiring her/him to go out of residence as the offence may appear to deserve. (b) A student may appeal to the Disciplinary Tribunal from the decision of the Dean of College in minor offences, either against the finding of guilt or the sentence, or against both the finding of guilt and the sentence. (c) If the student decides to lodge an appeal to the Tribunal, then he/she shall notify the Convenor of the Disciplinary Tribunal in writing that he/she wishes to appeal and the grounds of her/his appeal within fourteen days from the date on which the Dean's decision was communicated to the student. (d) The Tribunal shall have the power to determine whether they will hear an appeal. (e) In considering an appeal, the Tribunal may receive additional evidence. 18
