Abstract	What should university discipline be used to do and what should it not be used to do? In this article, the author argues that the only proper goal a university could have in seeking to discipline a professor is to put an end to that professor's bad behavior--and only after informal means have failed. He also argues that penalties should be applied only after a professor has been found, through a fair procedure, to have breached a sound university regulation. Penalties should be only as severe as required to prevent the professor from behaving badly (in the same way) again. Professors found to have breached a regulation should be terminated only for a second or third violation and only if termination is necessary to ensure that the university can again function as it should--so that students get taught and research progresses.
