the program – for example where they do not adhere to the principles of the
program; or where their continued membership or participation may cause embarrassment
or damage to Scotland’s reputation.
At any time, the relevant higher education institution will
be able to recommend to the Scottish Government the removal of a Saltire
Scholar from the program, for disciplinary or other issues that they consider to make that individual’s continued participation in the program inappropriate.
