WAC 106-120-003
Purpose. The students of Central
Washington University are responsible for complying with
policies, standards, rules, and requirements for academic and
social behavior formulated by the university for the
maintenance of an orderly and responsible functioning of the
university community. Students enrolled at any of the
university's campuses are expected to uphold these standards
both on and off campus. The student conduct code shall apply
to a student's conduct even if the student withdraws from the
university while a disciplinary matter is pending. At the
same time, students have protection through orderly procedures
against arbitrary or capricious actions or decisions by
university authorities. Due process is recognized as
essential to the proper enforcement of university rules. The
purpose of this chapter is to provide a procedure and rules by
which a student will be afforded due process in the matter of
alleged violations of university standards, rules and
requirements governing academic and social conduct of
students.
The university recognizes a responsibility to resolve
behavior problems before they escalate into serious problems
requiring the application of these rules. Therefore, the
vice-president for student affairs and enrollment management
shall generally review and/or investigate student behavioral
problems which are referred by university community members or
any subsidiary conduct agencies to the student conduct
council, or which otherwise come to the attention of the
vice-president through the office of public safety and police
services or other official university reports. The
vice-president and the problem-solving team shall be as
proactive as possible concerning the resolution of student
behavioral problems and use reasonable arbitration and
conflict resolution methods in order to prevent such problems
from further interfering with the university community or the
student's own education progress.
