Washington Administrative Code › Title 132S - Columbia Basin College › Chapter 132S-100 - Student code of conduct › Article IV - STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT PROCEDURES › Section 132S-100-445 - Interim measures

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Interim
				measures may be taken pending an investigation or adjudication if there is
				cause to believe that a student or student organization poses an imminent risk
				of harm to anyone in the college community, or to property, or if the
				misconduct is so severe, persistent, or pervasive as to substantially disrupt
				or materially interfere with the college's operations and/or activities or with
				an individual's education/work activities. Interim measures may include
				counseling, extensions of time or other course-related adjustments,
				modifications of class schedules, campus escort services, restrictions on
				contact between the parties, increased security and monitoring of certain areas
				of campus, restrictions on access to college owned or operated property and/or
				events (notice of trespass), including classes, activities and privileges, or
				any similar measures while the conduct process is pending.
(2) The student must adhere to the conditions
				of the interim restriction. If an interim restriction includes campus wide
				restricted access, the SCO may provide written permission for the student to
				enter campus for specific purposes such as meeting with the SCO or designee,
				faculty, staff or witnesses to prepare for an appeal, or to participate in the
				student conduct process.
(3) Notice
				of interim measure. The student will be provided written notice of the interim
				measure(s), stating:
(a) The time, date,
				place, and nature of the circumstances which created the need for interim
				measures.
(b) A description of any
				relevant evidence.
(c) The interim
				measure.
(d) The possible sanctions
				that could result from violation of the interim measure including arrest for
				criminal trespass if the student has been trespassed from campus.
(e) The student's right to either accept the
				interim measure or submit a written appeal of the interim measure within three
				instructional days to the office of VPSS office. An appeal is waived if not
				submitted within the prescribed time. If the student timely appeals, the
				interim measure shall remain in place during the appeal process. The VPSS will
				provide written notification to the student of the decision to either maintain
				or discontinue the interim measure within five instructional days of receipt of
				the appeal.
(f) If the student has
				been trespassed from the campus, a notice against trespass shall be included
				that warns the student that their privilege to enter into or remain on college
				premises has been withdrawn, that they shall be considered trespassing and
				subject to arrest for criminal trespass if they enter the college campus other
				than to meet with the SCO as arranged by an appointment, or to attend a
				disciplinary hearing. The interim measure shall not replace the regular
				discipline process, which shall proceed as quickly as feasible in light of the
				interim restriction.
