Behavior contrary to civil law, and/or criminal law, and/or behavior that interferes with educational objectives and programs of Washington state community college is forbidden. Such behavior will result in disciplinary action including but not limited to disciplinary probation, suspension, dismissal, expulsion, with holding of transcripts or other appropriate action as determined by the administration.
The decision as to whether a specific kind of behavior is a violation will rest with the administration. A complaint against student conduct should generally be reported to and reviewed by the appropriate academic or non - academic dean. The dean will determine if disciplinary action is appropriate and if the violation is sufficiently serious to require review by members of the executive committee. Disagreements with the dean's decision may be appealed to the judicial board.
If the dean finds that expulsion from class or from the college may be warranted, he/she will refer the matter to a committee composed of three members of the executive committee appointed by the president (here after referred to as the committee). The committee will review and decide on violation of the conduct policy and appropriate disciplinary action if any. Disagreements with the committee's decision may be appealed to the judicial board.
This rule includes the use of the grounds, buildings, equipment and facilities of Washington state community college and includes the conduct of the students, staff, faculty, and visitors to the campus. This regulation shall not include any restrictions on the freedom of speech, the right of persons on the campus to assemble peacefully, nor the right to appeal as described in the rules for "judicial appeals process" in paragraph (A)(1)(b) of rule 3358:17-42-02 of the Administrative Code.
