disciplinary review

Formal misconduct evaluation

A disciplinary review is a formal evaluation of someone's conduct, typically by an employer, professional board, or academic institution.

The process examines whether rules or standards were violated and what consequences may follow: She's facing a disciplinary review for falsifying records.

The term implies procedural seriousness—documentation, hearings, potential sanctions—rather than an informal reprimand.
