Wash. Admin. Code § 495B-121-240 - Statement of purpose
The purpose of these rules is to prescribe standards of conduct for students of Bellingham Technical College. Violations of these standards may be cause for disciplinary action as described in this code.
(1) Bellingham Technical College is
maintained by the state of Washington for the provision of programs of
instruction in higher education and related community services. Like any other
institution having its own special purposes, the college must maintain
conditions conducive to the effective performance of its functions.
Consequently, it has special expectations regarding the conduct of the various
participants in the college community.
(2) Admission to the college carries with it
the prescription that the student will conduct themselves as a responsible
member of the college community. This includes an expectation that the student
will obey appropriate laws, will comply with the rules of the college and its
departments, and will maintain a high standard of integrity and
honesty.
(3) Sanctions for
violations of college rules or conduct that interferes with the operation of
college affairs may be applied by the college, and the college may impose
sanctions independently of any action taken by civil or criminal authorities.
In the case of minors, misconduct may be referred to parents or legal
guardians.
(4) The rules and
regulations prescribed in this title shall be observed by guests and visitors
while on campus, at all college functions and events, and on or within any
other college-controlled or college-owned property. Guests and visitors who
willfully refuse to obey college administration or other duly designated
college authorities to desist from conduct prohibited by such rules and
regulations may be ejected from the premises. Refusal to obey such an order may
subject the person to arrest under the provisions of the Washington criminal
trespass law, in addition to such other sanctions as may be
applicable.
