The Discipline Committee met on 27 June 2018 to consider a charge brought by the University Advocate against a student member of the University. The Committee consisted of: Dr M. W. Gehring, HH (Chair), Dr P. J. Barrie, EM, Professor J. M. Lieu, R, Dr S. T. C. Siklos, JE, and Dr A. Winter, CHR. Ms S. d’Ambrumenil, EM, acted as Secretary to the Committee, with Ms G. Parker, R, assisting. On the application of the student concerned, the Committee consisted of senior members only and sat in private.
The student was charged with one count contrary to Regulation 6 of the General Regulations for Discipline, namely that no member of the University shall engage in the harassment of: (i) a member, officer, or employee of the University or a College; or (ii) any other person where the harassment takes place either within the Precincts of the University or in the course of a University or College activity. Harassment shall include single or repeated incidents involving unwanted and unwarranted conduct towards another person which is reasonably likely to have the effect of (i) violating that other’s dignity or (ii) creating an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating, or offensive environment for that other.
The University Advocate outlined the circumstances of the case and the student’s representative addressed the Committee on procedural matters, the merits of the case, and mitigation in relation to penalty.
The Committee considered the case and found that the charge was proved beyond reasonable doubt.
In relation to penalty, the Committee considered the points of mitigation. Taking all factors into account, the Committee determined that, in accordance with Special Ordinance D (ii) 3, appropriate action should be taken in relation to the student, to include providing a formal written apology to a named person and to prohibit contact with a named person.
