Explanation:
Institutional Sanctions Imposed

A new question was added to the 1997 Annual Report, asking institutions to state the sanctions imposed in each case. Eighteen institutions reported imposing sanctions. The most common sanction cited was that the employee was dismissed (four cases). The respondent resigned in three cases.

Other sanctions included:

***"public admission of misconduct"***

"a letter of reprimand to be kept in the file for one year"

"report provided to individual's current employer and in any letter of recommendation or reference provided"

public retraction


Explanation:
public retraction in a manner indicated by the court (private letter, press statement, printed article, ...)

An act of taking back or withdrawing (retraction of a confession) (her retraction of the defamatory statement)

Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law 1996


A retraction statute is a law that allows a defamation plaintiff to retract, or take back, a defamatory statement. Retraction statutes vary considerably from state to state in terms of their coverage and net effect. Under many statutes, a plaintiff has to request a retraction within a certain time frame. Then, the defendant must comply in a certain time frame. In many states, if a defendant issues a proper retraction, the defendant can reduce (but not eliminate) the damages they will have to pay. For example, in Tennessee, if a defendant issues a proper retraction, the defendant cannot be held liable for punitive damages. (Punitive damages are damages designed to punish the wrongdoer; they are controversial in some circles because they go beyond compensatory damages, which are damages designed to compensate the plaintiff for wrongdoing.)
