15. If the Warden has determined that the matter is to be considered by a Disciplinary Committee, he or she shall request the Governing Body to appoint such a committee to hear the charge or charges and to determine whether the conduct or performance of the person charged constitutes good cause for dismissal or otherwise constitutes a serious complaint relating to his or her appointment or employment, and to make recommendations concerning the action (if any) to be taken as a result of the Committee's findings. Pending the consideration of such recommendations, the Warden, after consulting the Governing Body, may suspend the person charged from the performance of his or her duties without loss of emoluments.

(d) that no new witness or documentary evidence may be introduced by the person presenting the charge without the Committee's consent, which shall not be given save for good reason, and that if late introduction is allowed, the member of the academic staff shall be allowed an adjournment sufficient to allow him or her to consider and respond to the new evidence; and

(e) that any charge is heard and determined as expeditiously as is reasonably practicable.

(b) Where any charge or charges are upheld, other than where the Warden has decided under sub-clause (a) of this clause to dismiss the person concerned, the action available to the Warden, after consulting the Governing Body, which shall not constitute a greater penalty than that recommended by the Disciplinary Committee) shall be -

(ii) to advise the person concerned about his or her future conduct; or

(iii) to warn the Person concerned; or

(iv) to suspend the person concerned for such period as the Warden shall think fair and reasonable, provided that the suspension shall not extend beyond 3 months after the date on which the Governing Body shall have considered the Disciplinary Committee's decision, provided that no suspension without pay may be ordered unless the terms of the contract of employment of the person concerned contains provisions expressly entitling the Warden to impose such a penalty; or

(a) an independent Chairperson; and

(b) one member chosen from amongst members of the Governing Body to whom this Statute does not apply; and

45.
