Prehearing procedure under Title IX.
(1) Upon receiving the disciplinary notice, the conduct board will send a full hearing notice to all parties, in compliance with WAC 516-21-250. In no event will the hearing date be set less than 10 days after the Title IX coordinator provided the final investigation report to the student conduct officer.
(2) A party may choose to have an attorney serve as their advisor at the party's own expense. This right will be waived unless, at least five days before the hearing, the attorney files a notice of appearance with the committee chair with copies to all parties and the student conduct officer.
(3) In preparation for the full hearing, the parties will have equal access to all evidence gathered by the investigator during the investigation, regardless of whether Western Washington University intends to offer the evidence at the hearing.
