In its examination of the various reported abuse cases, the Committee, after extensive discussion, agreed on appropriate sanctions for all identified abuse cases, as required by the Board’s Rules of Procedure. This allows the cancellation of all results from candidates who have been proven to have participated in violations that result in a full result revocation (CER) penalty, while the results of candidates who are proven to participate in abuse cases that result in a Subjective Outcome Reversal Sanction (CSR) sanction must also be revoked.
In addition, some candidates face other sanctions, such as a two-year ban from taking the Board exam. Some schools were abolished for several years or de-recognized altogether. Some supervisors who violated their checks were officially reported to their employers and blacklisted, while some bystanders were also reported to the relevant disciplinary authorities.
