WAC 132D-120-230   Student complaints.  The purpose of this section is to protect each student's freedom of expression in the classroom; to protect each student against improper disclosure of the students' views, beliefs and political associations; to protect each student from improper, arbitrary or capricious academic evaluation as evidenced by the student's course grade; and to afford each student reasonable protection against arbitrary or capricious actions taken outside the classroom by other members of the college community.

     Skagit Valley College is committed to protecting the rights and dignity of each individual in the campus community. Therefore, the college will not tolerate discrimination of any kind, at any level.

     Students may follow the college policy on sexual harassment and/or may file complaints with outside agencies, as referenced in WAC 132D-305-005(10). Students should determine the time deadlines that apply to the filing of complaints with such outside agencies, as the college's internal processing of student complaints may not recognize such time periods.
