Washington Administrative Code › Title 174 - Evergreen State College, The › Chapter 174-123 - Student conduct code › CODE PROCEDURES › Section 174-123-240 - Resolution and sanctions

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The following resolution and sanctions may be agreed to by,
				  or required of, a respondent found to have violated the code. More than one
				  resolution and sanction may be imposed for any single violation. Resolution and
				  sanctions are based on the unique aspects of each situation and take into
				  consideration the context and seriousness of the violation. In determining the
				  resolution and sanctions, the student conduct official, the student conduct
				  officer, or any appeal officer or panel, will consider history, patterns, and
				  frequency of misconduct; severity and level of impact on the community; and a
				  student's motivation and response to the allegations.
(1)
Written warning:
This is a
				written notice that the student has violated one or more terms of this code and
				that continuation of the same or similar behavior may result in further
				sanctions.
(2)
Probation:
A student will be on special status with conditions
				imposed for a defined period of time and includes the probability of more
				severe required resolution and sanctions if the student is found to violate the
				code during the probationary period.
(3)
Suspension:
Separation of
				the student from the college for a specified period of time, after which the
				student is eligible to return, provided that the student has complied with all
				conditions imposed as part of the suspension and the student is otherwise
				qualified for enrollment.
(4)
Expulsion:
Permanent separation of the student from the college
				with a notation on the student's transcript. This includes revocation of all
				rights and privileges of membership in the college community and exclusion from
				college activities, classes, and programs and college-owned or controlled
				facilities and property without any possibility of return. There will be no
				refund of tuition or fees for the quarter in which the sanction takes
				effect.
(5)
Deferred
				action:
Deferred action is most commonly applied to college suspension
				or expulsion, and college housing suspension or eviction. Deferred action may
				be applied to other sanctions with conditions stated that outline when the
				sanction will no longer be in a deferred status. Deferred action is a special
				status issued for a defined period of time in which the student must complete
				required resolutions and sanctions that are not included in the deferred
				status. If the student does not complete the required resolutions and sanctions
				or is found in violation of the code during the time period, the deferred
				action will take effect immediately without further review. This deferred
				action will be in addition to any required resolutions or sanctions arising
				from the new violation.
(6)
Educational actions:
The college may require the student to
				complete an educational activity or experience directly related to the
				violation committed, at the student's expense. This includes, but is not
				limited to, work assignments, essays, completion of a workshop or training,
				restorative practice, or service to the college community.
(7)
Emergency contact or parental
				notification:
In cases of suspension, expulsion, or significant health
				and safety concerns, the parent or emergency contact may be contacted to inform
				them of the suspension, expulsion, or health and safety concern.
(8)
Professional evaluation:
Referral for drug, alcohol, psychological, or medical evaluation by an
				appropriately certified or licensed professional may be required. The student
				may choose the professional within the scope of practice and having the
				professional credentials specified by the college. The student will sign all
				necessary releases:
(a) To allow the college
				to provide the evaluator with all educational and other records in the
				student's college files; and
(b) to
				allow the evaluator to provide the college with the evaluator's notes and file
				materials, including the results of tests, assessments, and report. The
				student's return to college may be conditioned upon compliance with
				recommendations set forth in such a professional evaluation. If the evaluation
				indicates that the student is not capable of functioning within the college
				community, the student will remain suspended until future evaluation recommends
				that the student is capable of reentering the college and complying with the
				rules of conduct.
