What are decisions the board may give regarding a violation?

Only warning letters
Imposition of a harsh penalty
No action is taken
Imposition of an administrative penalty or acknowledgment of no violation

The correct answer is: Only warning letters

The correct approach to understanding the board's decisions regarding a violation includes recognizing the variety of outcomes that can arise from a complaint or investigation. The board holds the authority to impose not just warnings but also other actions based on the severity and circumstances surrounding each individual case. Among the range of responses, the board may issue an administrative penalty, which can involve financial ramifications depending on the nature of the violation. Additionally, it can acknowledge that no violation occurred and decide to take no further action at all, allowing for the possibility of a resolution that leaves the counselor's record unblemished. Thus, the board is not limited to merely issuing warning letters; its decisions can encompass various outcomes ranging from penalties to no action at all, demonstrating a nuanced approach to enforcement that reflects the facts of each case.
