Public Hearing Notice


Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held at noon on Tuesday, Oct. 30, in Room 309 of the Husky Union Building (HUB), at the University of Washington, Seattle campus. The purpose of the hearing is to allow all interested persons an opportunity to present their views, either orally or in writing, on the proposed amendments to Chapter 478-120 WAC, “Student Conduct Code for the University of Washington.”


Amendments to the University of Washington’s student conduct code include addressing student violations that occur beyond campus boundaries, and extending the administration of the conduct code to all three of the University of Washington campuses. Other housekeeping amendments bring the chapter up-to-date with its first substantive review since 1996. The proposed amendments have been approved by vote of the University of Washington’s Faculty Senate, and endorsed by the Associated Students of the University of Washington, the University of Washington’s Graduate and Professional Student Senate, and fraternity and sorority leadership.
