Coincidence of Criminal and Disciplinary Proceedings in the Context of the Provisions of the Law on Higher Education

Abstract

The current formula of disciplinary liability is neither clear nor uniform. Built on the basis of a number of independent regulations, it is inconsistent with the general pattern of uniformity and universal use. Interesting are situations in which criminal liability and disciplinary liability become interdependent. The question then arises as to whether a crime and possible initiation of criminal proceedings by a member of a student community imposes an obligation on the authorities of the university to initiate and conduct disciplinary proceedings in parallel.
