Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
As members of the academic community, students are encouraged
				to develop the capacity for critical judgment and to engage in an independent
				search for truth. Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets
				of academic freedom. The freedom to learn depends upon appropriate
				opportunities and conditions in the classroom, on the campus, and in the larger
				community. Students should exercise their freedom with responsibility. The
				responsibility to secure and to respect general conditions conducive to the
				freedom to learn is shared by all members of the college community. The
				following enumerated rights are guaranteed to each student within the
				limitations of statutory law and college policy, and are deemed necessary to
				achieve the educational goals of the college, including:
(1) Academic freedom - Students are
			 guaranteed the rights of free inquiry, expression, and assembly upon and within
			 college facilities that are generally open and available to the public.
			 Students are free to pursue appropriate educational objectives from among the
			 college's curricula, programs, and services, subject to the limitations of
			 RCW
			   28B.50.090(3)(b). Students
			 shall be protected from academic evaluation which is arbitrary, prejudiced, or
			 capricious, but are responsible for meeting the standards of academic
			 performance established by each of their instructors. Students have the right
			 to a learning environment which is free from unlawful discrimination,
			 inappropriate and disrespectful conduct, and all harassment, including sexual
			 harassment. Individuals shall abide by all college administrative policies and
			 procedures on academic freedom and expressive speech. Chapter 132T-105 WAC
			 describes the college's student conduct procedures for handling Title IX
			 complaints.
(2) Due process - The
			 rights of students to be secure in their persons, quarters, papers, and effects
			 against unreasonable searches and seizures is guaranteed. No disciplinary
			 sanction may be imposed on any student without notice to the accused of the
			 nature of the charges. A student accused of violating this student code of
			 conduct is entitled, upon request, to procedural due process as set forth in
			 this chapter.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
College disciplinary proceedings may be used to determine a
				student's responsibility for conduct that potentially violates criminal law and
				this student code of conduct (that is, if both alleged violations result from
				the same factual situation) without regard to the pendency of civil or criminal
				litigation in court or criminal arrest and prosecution. Proceedings under this
				student code of conduct may be carried out prior to, simultaneously with, or
				following civil or criminal proceedings. Determinations made or sanctions
				imposed under this student code of conduct will not be subject to change
				because criminal charges arising out of the same facts that gave rise to
				violation of college rules were dismissed, reduced, or resolved in favor of or
				against the criminal law defendant. In addition to initiating discipline
				proceedings for violation of the student code of conduct, the college may refer
				any violations of federal, state, or local laws to civil and criminal
				authorities for disposition. The college reserves the right to pursue student
				disciplinary proceedings regardless of whether the underlying conduct is
				subject to civil or criminal prosecution.
(1) Initiation of disciplinary action. A
			 request for disciplinary action for violation(s) of the student code of conduct
			 must be made to the student conduct officer (SCO) as soon as possible following
			 the violation. Conduct proceedings may be initiated when the SCO receives any
			 direct or indirect report of conduct that may violate this code, which
			 includes, but is not limited to, a police report, an incident report, a witness
			 statement, other documentation, or a verbal or written report from a
			 complainant, witness, or other third party.
(a) The college may initiate disciplinary
			 action under the student code of conduct regardless of whether or not the
			 incident in question is the subject of criminal or civil proceedings.
(b) Any member of the college's
			 administration, faculty, staff, or any student or nonstudent may make a request
			 for disciplinary action, and it must be a good faith claim.
(c) Formal rules of evidence, such as are
			 applied in criminal or civil court, are not used in conduct proceedings.
			 Relevant evidence, including hearsay, is admissible if it is the type of
			 evidence that reasonable persons would rely upon in the conduct of their
			 affairs. Unduly repetitious or irrelevant evidence may be excluded.
Washington Administrative Code › Title 132T - Walla Walla Community College › Chapter 132T-100 - Student code of conduct › Section 132T-100-220 - Appeal process

The student may appeal a disciplinary action by filing a
				written notice of appeal with the conduct review officer (CRO) within 10
				business days of service of the student conduct officer's decision. Failure to
				timely file a notice of appeal constitutes a waiver of the right to appeal, and
				the student conduct officer's decision shall be deemed final.
(1) The request for appeal must include a
			 brief statement explaining the grounds for the appeal or why the student is
			 seeking review. Disagreement with the finding and/or with the sanction(s) does
			 not, by itself, represent grounds for appeal. Decisions may be appealed for one
			 or more of the following:
(a) To determine
			 whether there was a procedural error that substantially affected the outcome of
			 the finding or sanctioning. Deviation from designated procedures is not a basis
			 for sustaining an appeal unless significant prejudice results.
(b) To determine whether the sanction(s)
			 imposed was appropriate and not excessively lenient or excessively severe for
			 the violation of the student code of conduct for which the student was found
			 responsible.
(c) To consider new
			 information, sufficient to alter a decision, or other relevant facts not
			 brought during fact finding, because such information and/or facts were not
			 known, and the student bringing the appeal had no duty to discover or could not
			 have reasonably discovered facts giving rise to the issues during investigation
			 or factfinding. The notice of appeal must include a brief statement explaining
			 why the respondent is seeking review.
