Disciplinary basics
Disciplinary processes should be fair: clear allegations, evidence, meetings, and appeal rights. Outcomes can include warnings or dismissal. Settlement may be offered during or after a process.

Overlap with claims
If you assert unfair dismissal or discrimination, process defects may strengthen leverage. Your adviser can map the timeline.
