The appeals board must consist of three members. A quorum of three is needed to review a matter. A majority of appeals board members hearing a matter must be enrolled WSU students (undergraduate, graduate, or professional) and may be full-time or part-time. The remaining members may be students, or full-time or part-time faculty or staff of any rank or classification. No appeals board member may serve on a case if the member previously served on a board on a case involving the same complainant or respondent. The vice president for student affairs or designee is responsible for designating one of the three appeals board members as chair. The chair is responsible for ensuring a fair and impartial process and is a voting member of the appeals board.
