Renton Technical College, Community College District 27, State of Washington, 3000 NE Fourth Street, Renton, WA, will hold a Public Hearing, as part of the permanent rule-making process, on October 23, 2024, at 2 p.m. Attendees may join in Building C-Room 110 or via video or phone. The purpose of the hearing is to receive comments on proposed rule changes amending Chapter 495E-110 WAC which relate to the Student Conduct Code and Hearing Procedures for Renton Technical College.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights released final regulations under the Title IX Education Amendments of 1972. To ensure compliance with these new regulations and to conform the conduct code to the recommendations of the Washington State Assistant Attorney General’s Office, changes to RTC’s Student Conduct Code were adopted via an emergency rule during a special session of the RTC Board of Trustees on July 23, 2024, for an effective date of August 1, 2024. The college then began the permanent rule-making process to incorporate the new changes into an updated Student Conduct Code and Hearing Procedures.

Written notice on the proposed rules may be submitted via email to Matt Wurz, Executive Assistant to the Vice President of Student Services and the Dean of Student Success, at mgwurz@rtc.edu by close of business on October 22, 2024.
