Recent Changes to the Student Conduct and Hearing Procedures
Renton Technical College recently made revisions to its Student Conduct Code and Hearing Procedures as a permanent rule filing. The revisions are in response to the Department of Education adopting new Title IX regulations earlier this year. The state community and technical colleges’ Assistant Attorney Generals have been assisting the Washington State Student Services Commission members to ensure that the codes and hearing procedures are compliant with federal Title IX regulations and in alignment with recommendations by the Assistant Attorney General’s office.
A public hearing regarding the permanent rule changes was held on October 23, 2024. No comments were submitted prior to or given during the hearing. The RTC Board of Trustees voted to approve the rule changes at their November 25 special session with a date of effect on November 30, 2024.
