WAC 132X-30-030   Trespass regulations.  (1) In order to safeguard the right of every citizen to criticize and to seek meaningful change, each individual has an obligation to respect the rights of all members of the college community.

     (2) In order to assure those rights to all members of the college community and to maintain a peaceful atmosphere, the following types of conduct are hereby prohibited on or in college property:

     (a) Conduct which intentionally and substantially obstructs or disrupts teaching or freedom of movement or other lawful activities on the college campus;

     (b) Physical abuse of any person or conduct which is intended unlawfully to threaten imminent bodily harm or to endanger the health or safety of any person on the college campus;

     (c) Malicious damage to or malicious misuse of college property, or the property of any person where such property is located on the college campus;

     (d) Refusal to comply with any order of the president, the president's designee, or a law enforcement officer to leave the college campus or any portion thereof;

     (e) Intentionally inciting others to engage immediately in any of the conduct prohibited herein, which incitement leads directly to such conduct. (Inciting is that advocacy which prepares the group addressed for imminent action and steels it to the conduct prohibited herein.)

     (3) Guests and visitors on college property who willfully refuse to obey an order of the president, the president's designee, or a law enforcement officer to desist from conduct prohibited by the above rules and regulations may be ejected from the premises.

     Refusal to obey such an order will subject the person to arrest under the provisions of the Criminal Trespass Act, in addition to such other sanctions as may be applicable.

     (4) Persons who repeatedly engage in any conduct prohibited above may be barred permanently from college property. Before being barred permanently, a person will be given the following:

     (a) Written notice sent to the person's last known address specifying the charges against the person; and

     (b) The opportunity to request a hearing with the president or the president's designee within two weeks from the date notice is sent.

     The written notice shall inform the person that he or she may produce and question witnesses, and that failure to request a hearing within the time specified constitutes a waiver of the person's right to such hearing. The college shall have the burden of proving that the person repeatedly engaged in conduct prohibited by subsection (2) of this section. After the hearing, if one is requested, the president or the president's designee may decide to bar the person from college property permanently, to grant the person a limited license to enter onto college property, or to grant the person full access to college property. A copy of the decision will be sent to the person's last known address within two weeks after the hearing.
