Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: Title IX of Education Amendments of 1972, RCW 28B.50.140.

The updated rules will incorporate new Title IX student conduct code requirements that necessitate Shoreline Community College amending chapter 132G-121 WAC, Student conduct rules to remain in compliance with the updated DOE requirements. The college will also consider other changes to the student conduct rules to update them for compliance with current best practices.

Other Federal and State Agencies that Regulate this Subject and the Process Coordinating the Rule with These Agencies: None identified. The state board for community and technical colleges has general supervision and control over the community and technical college system but does not regulate each college's rule-making activity.
