Re: Inspection oversight DQ's team in the quarters
I can't answer your questions specifically so to why a DQ instead of a penalty, but there is a portion of the inspection checklist, that basically says, even if the inspectors missed something, the team certifies everything is compliant by the rules. This section must be signed by a student and adult on the team, if I recall. So, unfortunate yes, but, it happens.
