Purpose for adoption of student rules.

(1) All colleges administered by the board of trustees for Washington State Community College District 17 doing business as Community Colleges of Spokane are maintained by the state of Washington for the accomplishment of certain special purposes; namely, the provision of programs of instruction in higher education, the advancement of knowledge through scholarship and research, and the provision of related community services.      Like any other social institution having its own special purpose, a college must maintain conditions conducive to the effective performance of its functions.      Consequently, the college has special expectations regarding the conduct of the various participants in the academic community.      Student conduct which distracts from or interferes with accomplishment of college purposes is not acceptable.

     (2) Admission to a college within the district carries with it the presumption that students will conduct themselves as responsible members of the academic community.      This includes an expectation that students will obey the law, will comply with rules and regulations of the college and its departments, will maintain a high standard of integrity and honesty and will respect the rights, privileges and property of other members of the college community.

     (3) It is assumed that students are and wish to be treated as adults.      As such, the students will accept responsibility for their own conduct.      In order to accomplish educational purposes of the college and also to provide students a full understanding of the rules that will enable the college to maintain conditions conducive to the effective performance of the college's functions, the following rules regarding the conduct of students are hereby adopted.      Sanctions for violations of the rules of student conduct herein adopted will be administered by the college in the manner provided by said rules.      When violations of laws of the state of Washington and/or the United States are also involved, the college may refer such matters to proper civil authorities.      In case of minors, this conduct may be referred to parents or legal guardians.

Disciplinary action.

The following disciplinary actions are hereby established any of which shall be the sanctions imposed upon violators of the rules of student conduct:

     (1) Disciplinary warning: Notice to a student, either verbally or in writing, that the student has been in violation of the rules of student conduct or has otherwise failed to satisfy the college's expectations regarding conduct.      Such warnings imply that continuation or repetition of the specific conduct involved or other misconduct will result in one of the more serious disciplinary actions described in this section. The college president may act without the need to utilize the disciplinary committee again for these continuing or repetitive violations.

     (2) Reprimand: Formal action censuring a student for violation of the rules of student conduct.      Reprimands are always made in writing to the student by the officer or agency taking the action, with copies to the office of student services.      A reprimand indicates to the student that continuation or repetition of the specific conduct involved or other misconduct will result in one of the more serious disciplinary actions described in this section.

     (3) Disciplinary probation: Formal action placing conditions upon the student's continued attendance for violation of rules of student conduct.      The office placing the student on disciplinary probation will specify, in writing, the period of probation and the conditions, such as limiting the student's participation in extracurricular activities.      Disciplinary probation may be for a specified term or for an indefinite period which may extend to graduation or other termination of the student's enrollment in the college.      Violation of disciplinary probation shall be cause for disciplinary action.

     (4) Dismissal: Termination of student status for violation of the rules of student conduct.      Dismissal may be for a stated or for an indefinite period.      The notification dismissing a student will indicate, in writing, the term of the dismissal and any special conditions which must be met before readmission.      There is no refund of fees for the quarter in which the action is taken, but fees paid in advance for a subsequent quarter must be refunded.

     (5) Fines: The office of student services may assess monetary fines against individual students for violation of the rules of student conduct.      Failure to pay such fines promptly will result in the cancellation of the student's registration and will prevent the student from reregistering. Tuition fees paid by the student may be refunded at the discretion of the college president.

Purpose of summary suspension rules.

(1) The board of trustees of ((Washington State)) Community Colleges ((District 17)) of Spokane recognizes the need to provide the college's administrators with a summary system of student discipline that can swiftly and fairly respond to immediate disorder on ((campus)) all district facilities ((within the district)).      The board further desires to create and operate such a system within the framework of fundamental due process as presently embodied in the historic notions embodied in the jurisprudential tool of the temporary restraining order.

     (2) It is to be understood, however, that nothing within the rules adopted in this chapter shall be construed to supplant the provisions of the rules of conduct and procedures of enforcement embodied in chapter 132Q-04 WAC and the student disciplinary system created therein.      Rather, the provisions of the rules of this chapter shall be deemed to be supplementary to the rules of student conduct by providing a method of suspension during the pendency of the investigation and prosecution for student violations that will be subsequently heard on their merits pursuant to the system embodied in the said rules of student conduct.

Declaration of purpose.

By adoption of the following health and safety regulations the board of trustees of the ((Washington State)) Community Colleges ((District 17)) of Spokane expresses its firm commitment to the safety and health of its students and employees.      The board further recognizes the importance of students and employees developing safe work habits, particularly in the areas of equipment and machinery operation, and in the handling of potentially hazardous chemical substances.      This chapter shall apply to all students(([,])), employees and visitors and shall pertain to all campuses and sites under the direct or indirect control of the district.

[Statutory Authority: RCW 28B.50.140.      90-21-022, § 132Q-94-010, filed 10/8/90, effective 11/8/90; 87-16-010 (Resolution No. 27), § 132Q-94-010, filed 7/23/87; Order 72-1, § 132Q-94-010, filed 1/28/72.]


AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending Resolution No. 27, filed 7/23/87)

Rationale.

Adoption of these health and safety rules by the board of trustees is based on the following standards:

     (1) The possibility of accidental injury to an individual exists at all times and in all places and no place of work nor any human activity is exempt from the possibility of accidents.

     (2) All community college safety programs are for the benefit of both the ((Washington State)) Community Colleges ((District 17)) of Spokane and the individual students enrolled within the institution.      There is no conflict of interests between the students and the college in the area of an accident prevention program; through accident prevention, everyone benefits.

     (3) Accident prevention requires both organization and education, consisting largely of the desire to provide and maintain an environment free of hazards through institution of a common-sense safety program and the determination to carry out the program effectively.

     (4) Effective accident prevention includes instructor leadership, student cooperation, effective organization, thorough training, and good supervision.
