The most common form of corrective action is the warning letter. It simply states the rule, the infraction an warns that if the infraction happens again disciplinary measures, up to and including termination will result.

You did not tell which University you were referring to. If a University is drawing negative publicity, it would draw the attention of the University Grants commission and the Higher Education Accreditation Committee. They would verify the allegations and take corrective action if they find substance in the allegations, and also issue warnings to students. Many good institutions are un- necessarily blamed and tarnished by disgruntled elements who were put to disciplinary action or debarred etc. You need not take them seriously.

I think the answer is yes. If by discipline you mean take corrective action without putting something in the officer's permenasnt file, yes.I took the position that I wanted my officers to be the best they could. Writing them up was appropriate sometimes, but mist of the time, when corrective action was needed but it could stay on the shift.For instance, I had a kid on my shift who had some really good instincts and some really bad instincts. One night he arrested a woman on a domestic. When I read the report, there was a great description of her confession that was nearly a page long (This back when handwritten reports were still acceptable). I asked him where they were when she gave the statement. He said she was in the back of his car. I asked him why there wasn't any mention of a Miranda warning…. He said he didn't read it. He asked me if he should rewrite it without the confession (there was ample evidence to obtain a conviction). I told him to leave it as is. We can't change the past, and it's our job to document what happened. While the statement couldn't be used in the state's case in chief, it could be used to impeach her if she testified. We had a discussion about Miranda and when it was required. In that agency, you never knew what crazy stuff might happen when the white shirts got involved, so I put a note in his shift file (a log we used to help when we did evals) about the incident. That way if the captain decided the kid needed a write up, the officer had documentation that corrective action had been take.If you're asking if a sergeant has ever written someone up without them getting in trouble. That happened to me once. I was involved in a use of force in the jail. The use of force was clearly lawful, but the sergeant, a man who I liked and respected, decided that if I had done something differently, the inmate probably wouldn't have hit me in the first place. I saw his point, but I disagreed. He wrote up some kind of minor discinplary report and sent it up the chain. The division commander called me in. He said that the sergeant may have been right about my actions, but he disagreed with the write up. He thought the chief deputy might overreact, so the division commander shredded the write up and explained his actions to me and the sergeant. I still like and respect the sergeant. I don't know if I ever met a cop with more common sense. We disagreed on disciplinary methods. I heard that he is now the division commander.
