Rector's Warning

Abstract

The rector's warning is a simplified and informal way of reacting to minor disciplinary offenses committed by academic teachers, students and PhD students. The legal regulation of the rector's warning is quite laconic, and therefore the application of this institution may cause doubts in practice. The article discusses: procedural situations in which the rector's warning is used, the substantive legal basics of application of this warning and the procedure in which it is adjudicated. The issues of the enforceability of the act of punishment and obliteration of punishment are also presented. The author also formulates de lege ferenda conclusions.
