     The student may offer oral testimony, present witnesses, submit any statement or affidavit, examine any affidavit or cross-examine any witness who may appear against him/her and submit any matter in extenuation or mitigation of the offense or offenses charged.

     The vice-president of student services shall at the time of the summary suspension hearing determine whether there is probable cause to believe that a violation of law or of the code of student conduct has occurred and whether there is cause to believe summary suspension continues to be necessary pursuant to WAC 132C-120-200 through 132C-120-220. In the course of making such decisions the vice-president of student services may consider only the affidavits and oral testimony of persons who alleged that the student charged has committed a violation of law or the student conduct code and the oral testimony and affidavits submitted by the student charged.
