Washington Administrative Code › Title 495A - Bates Technical College › Chapter 495A-300 - Title IX - Grievance Procedures › Section 495A-300-060 - Complaint resolution

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The Title IX resolution processes are initiated when the Title
				IX coordinator's office receives a written complaint alleging that a
				respondent(s) sexually harassed a complainant and requesting that the college
				initiate an investigation (a formal complaint). A formal complaint must be
				either submitted by the complainant or signed by the Title IX coordinator on
				behalf of the complainant. Formal complaints submitted to the Title IX
				coordinator may be resolved through either informal or formal resolution
				processes. The college will not proceed with either resolution process without
				a formal complaint.
For purposes of this Title IX grievance procedure, the
				complainant must be participating in or attempting to participate in a Bates
				Technical College educational program or activity at the time the formal
				complaint is filed.
(1) Informal
			 resolution. Under appropriate circumstances and if the impacted and responding
			 parties agree, they may voluntarily pursue informal resolution during the
			 investigation of a concern. Informal resolution is not appropriate when the
			 allegations involve a mandatory reporting situation; an immediate threat to the
			 health, safety or welfare of a member of the college community; or in cases
			 where an employee is alleged to have sexually harassed a student.
If an informal resolution is appropriate, the impacted party
				and the responding party may explore remedies or resolution through:
(a) Guided conversations or communications
			 conducted by the Title IX coordinator, designee, or a mutually agreed upon
			 third party;
(b) Structured
			 resolution process conducted by a trained mediator; or
(c) Voluntarily agreed on alterations to
			 either or both of the parties' work or class schedules.
If the parties agree to an informal resolution process, the
				college will commence the process within ten workdays after the parties agree
				to this option and conclude within thirty workdays of beginning that process;
				subject to reasonable delays and extensions for good cause shown. The informal
				process is voluntary. Either the impacted or responding party may withdraw from
				the informal resolution process at any time, at which point the formal
				investigation process will resume.
If the impacted and responding party voluntarily resolve a
				report, the college will record the terms of the resolution in a written
				agreement signed by both parties and provide written notice to both parties
				that the report has been closed.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
If a student respondent poses an immediate threat to the health
				and safety of the college community or an immediate threat of significant
				disruption to Bates Technical College's operations, the college's student
				conduct officer may summarily suspend a respondent pursuant to WAC
				495A-121-062, pending final
				resolution of the allegations. Nothing in this grievance procedure prohibits
				the college from placing nonstudent employees on administrative leave pending
				final resolution of the allegations.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Upon receiving a formal complaint and determining that
				allegations comport with Title IX complaints, the college will provide the
				parties with the following notices containing the following information:
(1) Notice of formal and informal resolution
			 processes. A description of the college's grievance resolution procedures,
			 including the informal resolution procedure.
(2) The investigator will serve the
			 respondent and the complainant with a notice of investigation in advance of the
			 initial interview with the respondent to allow the respondent sufficient time
			 to prepare a response to the allegations and to inform the complainant that the
			 college has commenced an investigation. The investigation notice will:
(a) Include the identities of the parties if
			 known, a description of the conduct alleged constituting Title IX sexual
			 harassment, and the time and location of the incident if known.
(b) Confirm that the respondent is presumed
			 not responsible for the alleged conduct and that the college will not make a
			 final determination of responsibility until after the grievance and
			 disciplinary processes have been completed.
(c) Inform parties that they are both
			 entitled to have an advisor of their own choosing, who may be an
			 attorney.
(d) Inform parties they
			 have a right to review and inspect evidence.
(e) Inform parties about student conduct code
			 provisions and employment policies that prohibit students and employees from
			 knowingly submitting false information during the grievance and disciplinary
			 processes.

(1)
			 Mandatory dismissal. The Title IX coordinator will dismiss the Title IX
			 allegations, if during the course of a formal investigation under the Title IX
			 grievance procedures, the investigator determines that the alleged misconduct
			 in the formal complaint:
(a) Does not meet
			 the definition of sexual harassment under Title IX, even if proved;
			 or
(b) Did not occur in the context
			 of a college education program or activity; or
(c) Occurred outside the United
			 States.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
When multiple sexual harassment allegations by or against
				different parties arise out of the same facts or circumstances, the college may
				consolidate the investigation of formal complaints, provided consolidation can
				be accomplished in compliance with confidentiality protections imposed by the
				Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This includes instances in
				which complainant and respondent have lodged formal complaints against one
				another or when allegations of sexual assault are lodged by a single
				complainant against multiple respondents, or when multiple complainants lodge
				sexual assault complaints against single or multiple
				respondents.
Washington Administrative Code › Title 495A - Bates Technical College › Chapter 495A-300 - Title IX - Grievance Procedures › Section 495A-300-085 - Investigation process- Required procedures

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
During the investigation, the investigator:
(1) Will provide the parties with equal
			 opportunity to present relevant statements, and other evidence in the form of
			 fact or expert witnesses and inculpatory or exculpatory evidence.
(2) Will not restrict the ability of either
			 party to discuss the allegations under investigation or gather and present
			 relevant evidence, except when a no contact order has been imposed based on an
			 individualized and fact specific determination that a party poses a threat to
			 the health, safety, or welfare of another party and/or witness(es) or when
			 contact with a party and/or witness(es) is prohibited by court order. A
			 college-imposed no contact shall be no broader than is necessary to protect the
			 threatened party or witness(es) and must provide the impacted party or their
			 advisor with alternative means of gathering and presenting relevant evidence
			 from the protected witness(es) and/or party.
(3) Will allow each party to be accompanied
			 by an advisor of their choosing, who may be an attorney, to any grievance
			 related meeting or interview. Advisors' roles during the investigation meetings
			 or interviews will be limited to providing support and advice to the party.
			 Advisors will not represent or otherwise advocate on behalf of the parties
			 during the investigation process. An attorney representing a party must enter a
			 notice of appearance with the Title IX coordinator and the investigator at
			 least five workdays before the initial interview or meeting they plan to
			 attend, so that the college can secure its own legal representation, if
			 necessary.
(4) The investigator
			 will provide both parties and their respective advisors with an equal
			 opportunity to review the draft investigation report and to inspect and review
			 any evidence obtained during the investigation that is directly related to the
			 allegations raised in the formal complaint, including inculpatory or
			 exculpatory evidence, regardless of its source, as well as evidence upon which
			 the investigator does not intend to rely in the final investigation report.
			 After disclosure, each party will receive ten workdays in which to submit a
			 written response, which the investigator will consider prior to completion of
			 the investigation report. If a party fails to submit a written response within
			 ten workdays, the party will be deemed to have waived their right to submit
			 comments, and the investigator will finalize the report without this
			 information.
(5) The investigator
			 will forward the final report to the Title IX coordinator, who will distribute
			 the report and evidence to the parties, as well as the disciplinary authority
			 responsible for determining whether pursuing disciplinary action is
			 warranted.
