Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Western Washington University students enjoy the basic rights
				of all members of society. At the same time the student is expected to respect
				university rules and federal, state, and local laws. Those students who because
				of mental disorders are unable to do so and who represent a serious threat to
				themselves or others and therefore may need to be administratively withdrawn
				from attendance at Western Washington University are assured of a fair judicial
				process; at the same time, other students, faculty, and staff at Western
				Washington University are assured of relief from disruption of the mission of
				the university caused by those with behavioral problems stemming from mental
				disorders. This chapter advises students of their rights and responsibilities
				regarding behavior arising from mental disorders while enrolled at Western
				Washington University, and of the process the university will take if
				involuntary administrative withdrawal is indicated.
