WAC 132D-120-090   Interim sanctions.  In certain circumstances, the student conduct administrator may impose any of the above sanctions pending a hearing before, or decision by, a student conduct board.

     (1) Interim sanctions may be imposed only:

     (a) To ensure the safety and well-being of members of the college community or the preservation of college property;

     (b) To ensure the student's own physical or emotional safety and well-being; or

     (c) If the student poses a threat of disruption to, or interference with, the educational process or other normal operations of the college.

     (2) Notice of interim sanctions will be made in writing and will state:

     (a) The charges against the student, including reference to the provisions of this code that were allegedly violated; and

     (b) That the student charged has the right to an informal hearing before the student conduct administrator to challenge the interim sanctions.

     (3) If such a hearing is requested, it shall be held as soon as practicable after the interim sanctions have been imposed. The student conduct administrator will decide whether there is probable cause to believe that continuation of the sanctions is necessary, and/or whether some other disciplinary action is appropriate.

     (4) The student conduct administrator may continue to enforce the interim sanctions if, following the informal hearing, he or she finds that there is probable cause to believe that interim sanctioning of that student is necessary for the safety of the student, other students, or persons on college facilities, the educational process of the institution, or to restore order to the campus. The result of the informal hearing will be given to the student in writing.

     (5) If sanctions are continued, the written notice shall stipulate the duration of the sanctions and conditions under which they may be terminated.
