WAC 132C-120-110   Disciplinary proceedings.  Any person shall have the right to request sanctions for violations of the student conduct code.

     All disciplinary proceedings will be initiated by the vice-president of student services who may also establish advisory panels to advise or act for the office in disciplinary proceedings.

     Any student accused of violating any provision of the rules of student conduct will be called for an initial conference with the vice-president of student services and will be informed of what provision or provisions of the code of student conduct he/she is charged with violating and what appears to be the range of penalties which might result from consideration of the disciplinary proceeding.

     After considering the evidence in the case and interviewing the accused, the vice-president of student services may take any of the following actions:

     (1) Terminate the proceeding, exonerating the accused;

     (2) Dismiss the case after whatever counseling and advice may be appropriate;

     (3) Impose sanctions directly such as warning, reprimand, restitution, disciplinary probation, suspension, and/or expulsion;

     (4) Refer the matter to the student conduct board for a recommendation to the vice-president of student services as to appropriate action.

     A student accused of violating any provision of the code of student conduct shall be given written notification of the vice-president of student services' action.

     Disciplinary action recommended by the vice-president of student services is final unless the accused exercises his/her right of appeal as provided in WAC 132C-120-115.
