WAC 132P-33-300   Procedures of summary suspension hearing.  (1) At the summary suspension hearing, the student against whom the violation or violations are alleged shall have the opportunity of proving to the dean of students that there is no cause to believe that the violation stated on the notice of summary suspension proceedings did occur, and that immediate suspension is not necessary nor justifiable pursuant to summary suspension rules, WAC 132P-33-270 through 132P-33-350.

     (2) The student may offer personal oral testimony or that of any person, submit any statement or affidavit, examine any affidavit or cross-examine any witness, and submit any matter in extenuation or mitigation of the violation or violations charged.

     (3) The dean of students shall at the time of the summary suspension proceedings determine whether there is probable cause to believe that a violation of law or of provisions of the Code of student rights and responsibilities has occurred, and whether there is reason to believe that immediate suspension is necessary. In the course of making such a decision, the dean of students may consider the sworn affidavits or oral testimonies of persons who have alleged that the student charged had committed a violation of law or provisions of the Code of student rights and responsibilities and the oral testimony and affidavits submitted by the student charged.
