Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Chapter 132Z-119 WAC, Supplemental sex discrimination student conduct code and procedures.

Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The proposed change is to repeal chapter 132Z-119 WAC, which is a now-outdated version of the Title IX supplemental student conduct code. Chapter 132Z-119 WAC is being replaced with chapter 132Z-120 WAC, which complies with the current Title IX regulations. Chapter 132Z-120 WAC was subject to rule making; a rule-making hearing was held on August 5, and the rules were approved by the Cascadia College (Cascadia) board of trustees on September 17, 2025.

Reasons Supporting Proposal: Cascadia completed the process of rule making to adopt chapter 132Z-120 WAC, which complies with the current version of the Title IX regulations and replaces chapter 132Z-119 WAC, which complies with outdated Title IX regulations. Therefore, Cascadia is seeking to repeal chapter 132Z-119 WAC.

Rule is necessary because of federal law and federal court decision, 34 C.F.R. Part 106; Tennessee v. Cardona, 762 F. Supp. 3d 615 (E.D. Ky. 2025), as amended (January 10, 2025).

Explanation of the Reason the Agency Believes the Expedited Rule-Making Process is Appropriate: Cascadia completed the rule-making process to adopt chapter 132Z-120 WAC, which complies with the current Title IX regulations, making chapter 132Z-119 WAC redundant.

THIS RULE IS BEING PROPOSED UNDER AN EXPEDITED RULE-MAKING PROCESS THAT WILL ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR THE AGENCY TO HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS, PREPARE A SMALL BUSINESS ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT, OR PROVIDE RESPONSES TO THE CRITERIA FOR A SIGNIFICANT LEGISLATIVE RULE.
