The vice president for student services or designee can initiate athletic ineligibility proceedings whenever he or she has reasonable cause to believe that the student has violated chapter 69.41 RCW or been advised that the student has been convicted of a crime involving the violation of chapter 69.41 RCW. A notice of the alleged violations, proposed disqualification from participation and the opportunity for a brief adjudicative proceeding shall be given to the student at least ten calendar days before the hearing. Should the student desire not to go forward with the hearing, the disqualification for participation in athletic events or activities shall be imposed as set forth in the notice of hearing to the student.
