Wash. Admin. Code § 132Q-10-310 - [Effective 4/5/2025] Disposition of misconduct complaints by the student conduct officer

If a student conduct officer determines a complaint of general misconduct may have merit, the student conduct officer will schedule an initial meeting with the student to discuss the content of the complaint, the range of potential sanctions, and the applicable Spokane Colleges code of conduct hearing procedures.

(1) If the student fails to appear for the meeting and the range of sanctions for the alleged general misconduct do not include a suspension in excess of 10 instructional days or a dismissal, the matter will be heard as a brief adjudicative proceeding and the student conduct officer may:
(a) Retain the matter for a brief adjudicative proceeding, determination of findings, conclusions, and sanctions; or
(b) Send the matter to the student conduct board for a brief ad-judicative proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this code, the Administrative Procedure Act (chapter 34.05 RCW), and the model rules of procedure (chapter 10-08 WAC) including a determination of findings, conclusions, and sanctions.
(2) If an agreed upon resolution cannot be reached or if the student fails to appear for the meeting and the range of sanctions for the alleged general misconduct include a suspension in excess of 10 instructional days or a dismissal, the student conduct officer will send the matter to the student conduct administrative panel for a full adjudicative proceeding in accordance with the provisions of this code, the Administrative Procedure Act (chapter 34.05 RCW), and the model rules of procedure (chapter 10-08 WAC) including a hearing, determination of findings, conclusions, and sanctions. To the extent there is a conflict between the standards of conduct for students and the model rules, this standards of conduct for students code shall prevail.
