Upcoming Changes to the Student Conduct and Hearing Procedures
Renton Technical College is planning changes to its Student Conduct Code and Hearing Procedures as emergency and permanent rule filings. The revisions are in response to a federal District Court ruling which vacated the U.S. Department of Education’s 2024 Title IX Final Rule which was incorporated into RTC’s student conduct code on November 30th, 2024. The upcoming revisions will bring RTC’s student conduct code back into compliance with Title IX regulations as they stood before the 2024 Final Rule as well as provide additional clarity as to when the standard procedure or Title IX procedure applies to sexual misconduct cases.
The RTC Board of Trustees will vote on approving the changes as an emergency rule at the May 21, 2025, regular Board meeting. A public hearing to receive comments on the changes will be held on October 6, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. in C-110 and on Zoom. Interested students are encouraged to attend both.
You can view the full filing document to review the changes. Please contact Matt Wurz with any questions or concerns.
