I just don't think that it is an effective way to deal with his problem. He has too big of an ego, so give him something that will cut it down a little, not inflate it.
It is an effective way if you have someone watching the disciplinary committee. Holding Seifer to a responsibility could theoretically help him mature.

Note that I am not commenting as to my thoughts on the matter of the disciplinary committee itself, I'm just pointing out a way that giving Seifer the position could improve his behavior, much more than doing something to "cut him down" would, since he would just rebel and get even worse if you did. Feed his ego. "Seifer, you're such an outstanding student that you're put in charge of the disciplinary committee..." That has a better chance of getting him to improve, since it would appeal to his vanity and make him try to do well to prove that he was right for the job and that he should be trusted with more such responsibilities, etc...
