Records and Confidentiality

58. Academic Registry will maintain anonymised records of disciplinary investigations to enable reflection and review of the procedure. These will include details of the categories of breach of discipline, penalties applied, and mitigating factors.

59. Academic Registry will maintain records of students who are excluded from the University under the disciplinary procedure, and will review such cases in the event of a further application to study at the University.

60. In order to allow students to defend themselves against allegations, it is not normally appropriate to keep the identity of witnesses secret during disciplinary investigations. It may not be appropriate to rely on the evidence of witnesses who do not wish their identity to become known to the responding student.
