disciplinary board

Misconduct review panel

A disciplinary board is a committee empowered to investigate misconduct and impose penalties within an institution—typically a profession, university, or organization.

The state bar's disciplinary board suspended his license for two years.

Such boards handle violations ranging from academic dishonesty to professional ethics breaches, with authority to issue warnings, suspensions, or expulsions.
