PERMANENT RULES

[Filed May 29, 2018, 8:36 a.m., effective June 29, 2018]

Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.

Purpose: The current grievance procedure for Title IX is not required to be codified under WAC for Shoreline Community College under RCW 34.05.010(16). The grievance procedure for Title IX, WAC 132G-300-010, does not meet the definition of a "rule" under RCW 34.05.010(16) as [it] only serves to identify the procedure in place following receipt of a Title IX complaint. The college has adopted policy language reflecting best practices in Title IX procedures which do not need to be codified in WAC. With this in mind, the college is proposing the elimination of this unnecessary rule related to the Title IX grievance procedure.

Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 132G-300-010.

Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 28B.50.140(13).
