Ross

I believe the answer is:

censure

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">official reprimand</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for censure that I've seen before include "Formally reprove" , "Rebuke, strongly criticise" , "Carpet" , "Read (someone) the riot act" , "Reproof - blame" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
