WAC 132T-105-015. Student conduct committee

The student conduct committee is a three-member panel designated by the college to preside over cases involving Title IX allegations. The student conduct committee will serve as a standing committee until a final decision is made regarding the student conduct matter for which it was convened. Any student conduct committee member who has a personal relationship with either party or any personal or other interest which could prevent a fair and impartial review and decision, will be recused from the proceedings.

(1) One member, acting as the chair, will preside at the disciplinary hearing and will provide administrative oversight throughout the hearing process.

(2) Any three members constitute a quorum of the student conduct committee and may act accordingly. The college may retain an advisor to the student conduct committee, including an assistant attorney general.

(3) The student conduct officer will convene the members of the student conduct committee when necessary to adjudicate Title IX conduct decisions.

(4) All student conduct committee members will receive annual training in investigating and adjudicating student conduct matters in a manner that protects the safety and due process rights of the parties.
