WAC 132U-120-030   Jurisdiction.  The student rights and responsibilities code is a guideline for expected student behavior at the college. All rules and provisions in the code apply to every student on campus or in a college facility. Such rules and provisions also apply to students while they are present at or engaged in college-sponsored activities held in noncollege facilities. The college is not a policing agent for students when they are off campus but does reserve the right to take action if a student's behavior is determined to threaten the health, safety, and/or property of the college and its members.

     Students, college employees, or members of the public who violate, or aid or abet another in violation of this chapter shall be subject to:

     (1) Criminal and civil prosecution;

     (2) Restriction from any college property or facilities, the violation of which could result in criminal trespass;

     (3) Any other civil or criminal remedies available to the public;

     (4) Appropriate disciplinary action pursuant to the state of Washington higher education personnel board rules or the district's policies and regulations.

     The college may carry out disciplinary proceedings prior to, simultaneous, or following civil or criminal proceedings in the court.
