In the event the alleged misconduct involves claims of sexually violent conduct, additional procedures are required by federal law. Both the accused student and the complainant in cases involving allegations of sexual misconduct shall be provided the same procedural rights to participate in student discipline matters, including the right to participate in the interim suspension process and disciplinary proceeding process and to appeal the chief student services officer's or student conduct administrative panel's disciplinary order.
Application of the supplemental procedures for allegations of sexually violent conduct is limited to student conduct code proceedings involving allegations of sexually violent conduct. In such cases, these procedures shall supplement the student disciplinary procedures in WAC
132Q-10-305 through
132Q-10-318 and
132Q-10-325 through
132Q-10-500. In the event of conflict between the supplemental sexually violent conduct procedures, interim suspension and other restrictions procedures and the student disciplinary procedures, the sexually violent conduct procedures shall prevail.
