## Text

Eastern Washington University (EWU) is an academic community dedicated to instruction, advancing knowledge through scholarship and research, and serving the region.
As a public institution of higher education, EWU has a special responsibility to create and maintain an academic environment that promotes freedom of inquiry and expression while protecting the rights, opportunities and welfare of students, faculty, staff and guests. To achieve this, EWU establishes rules, regulations, procedures, policies, and standards of conduct.
Through the student conduct code as well as other EWU policies and directives, EWU sets forth specific behavioral and academic expectations for students and student organizations. It is the responsibility of each student to clearly understand and comply with outlined expectations.
The board of trustees of Eastern Washington University, acting under the authority granted by RCW 28B.35.120 , has established the following regulations for student conduct and discipline. The responsibility for enforcement of the student conduct code rests with EWU president and is further delegated to the vice president for student affairs or designee.
These provisions are not intended to protect any person or class of persons from injury or harm.
EWU's standards of conduct for students with respect to discrimination, discriminatory harassment, interpersonal violence, sexual assault, sexual misconduct, and retaliation are contained in chapter 172-125 WAC. If a report is received that a student has engaged in such conduct, EWU will follow the process set forth in chapter 172-125 WAC. If a report includes potential violations of this code and chapter 172-125 WAC arising out of the same facts and circumstances, the report will be investigated and adjudicated in accordance with chapter 172-125 WAC. In no case will this code be used to investigate and adjudicate violations of chapter 172-125 WAC.
