The chair introduced item 10b as: "discuss approve addition of the identification of 3.67 assault reference and TCS code of conduct. Correction to a format in in the code of conduct. That's the only change we're asking for at this time." A motion was made and seconded and the chair called for a vote; the transcript records “All in favor? Aye.” The motion carried with no opposition recorded in the excerpt.

The transcript frames the change as a format correction and does not include language indicating any substantive policy change or amendment to disciplinary standards; the item was described as a correction to formatting only.
