WAC 132V-120-130   Appeal of summary suspension.  (1) Any student aggrieved by an order issued at the summary suspension proceeding may appeal the same to the student rights and responsibilities committee. No such appeal shall be entertained, however, unless and/or until:

     (a) The student has first appeared before the chief student services officer at the hearing called for in this chapter as outlined in WAC 132V-120-070 through 132V-120-110;

     (b) The student has been officially notified of the outcome of this hearing;

     (c) Summary suspension or a lesser disciplinary sanction has been upheld by the chief student services officer; and

     (d) The appeal conforms to the standards set forth in this chapter.

     (2) If the criteria in subsection (1)(a) through (d) have been met, the committee shall review, as soon as reasonably possible, the allegations contained within the notice of appeal, along with the findings of the chief student services officer, the appropriate documentation of the summary suspension proceeding, and determine therefrom whether the summary suspension order is justified.

     (3) After completion of the committee's review, the committee shall promptly notify the appealing student by mail whether the summary suspension shall be maintained, stayed, a lesser sanction imposed, or no sanction imposed. The decision of the student rights and responsibilities committee shall be final and not reviewable.
