Reprimands for rules etc. being broken (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lectures

'reprimands' is the definition.
(I know this)

'rules etc being broken' is the wordplay.
'being broken' is an anagram indicator.
'rules'+'etc'='rulesetc'
'rulesetc' is an anagram of 'LECTURES'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for lectures that I've seen is " Discourses".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
