Appeals
- The Parties have the right to appeal from the determination of responsibility and/or from a Title IX dismissal, in whole or part, of a formal complaint, as set forth in the Initial Order. Parties have 21 days to appeal. The right to appeal is subject to the same procedures forth in WAC 132Y-125-015.
- Within 30 days, the President or the President’s delegate will determine whether the grounds for appeal have merit, provide the rationale for this conclusion, and state whether the disciplinary sanctions and conditions imposed in the Initial Order are affirmed, vacated, or amended, and, if amended, set forth the new disciplinary sanctions and conditions.
- The President’s Office shall serve the Final Decision on the parties simultaneously.
- All decisions reached through this process are final. No decisions or recommendations arising from this disciplinary procedure will be subject to grievance pursuant to any Collective Bargaining Agreement.
