Epiphany term
We would like to update our community on recent cases that were considered by the Senate Discipline Committee.
Case one:
One student was temporarily excluded from the University, was required to change college and was subject to a No Contact Order, following a serious breach of the Sexual Misconduct and Violence Policy.
Case two:
One student was prohibited from specific activities and required to undertake community service following a breach under the Non-academic Misconduct Discipline Procedure.
Case three:
One student was subject to a No Contact Order, was required to change college and was prohibited from specific activities following a serious breach of the Sexual Misconduct and Violence Policy.
Case four:
One student was temporarily excluded from the University, was required to change college and was subject to a No Contact Order, following a serious breach under the Non-Academic Misconduct Discipline Procedure.
Our Senate Discipline Committee said: “Durham University is a safe place to live, work and study, but we are determined to make it even more so. There is no place here for individuals who are found to have committed acts of sexual misconduct, or violence.
“We have committed to our community that we will promptly investigate, take action and provide support when our students disclose or report instances of sexual misconduct or violence to us.
“This approach has seen an increase in cases reported to us, but we see this as our community growing in confidence that we will act appropriately in response to such reports, and we are resolved that it will not deter us from our commitment.”
