We would like to update our community on recent cases that were considered by the Senate Discipline Committee.

One student was given a formal reprimand, was subject to a No Contact Order and was prohibited from specific activities following a serious breach of the Sexual Misconduct and Violence Policy.
Case three
In addition to these cases, the Committee also considered further cases that completed during summer vacation:
One student was temporarily excluded from the University and was subject to a change of college and a No Contact Order following a serious breach of the Sexual Misconduct and Violence Policy.
Four students were disciplined by SDC following a non-major breach of the Non-Academic Misconduct Disciplinary Procedure.

Case four
One student was subject to a No Contact Order and prohibited from specific activities following a serious breach of the Sexual Misconduct and Violence Policy.
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.”
