Section 174-123-380 - Title IX jurisdiction(1) This supplemental procedure applies only if the alleged misconduct: (a) Occurred in the United States;(b) Occurred during an Evergreen educational program or activity; and(c) Meets the definition of sexual harassment as that term is defined in this supplemental procedure.(2) For purposes of this procedure, an "educational program or activity" is defined as locations, events, or circumstances over which Evergreen exercised substantial control over both the respondent and the context in which the alleged sexual harassment occurred. This definition includes any building owned or controlled by a student organization that is officially recognized by Evergreen.(3) Proceedings under this procedure must be dismissed if the Title IX coordinator determines that one or all of the requirements of subsection (1)(a) through (c) of this section have not been met. Dismissal under this procedure does not prohibit the college from pursuing other disciplinary action based on allegations that the respondent violated other provisions of Evergreen's code of student rights and responsibilities, WAC 174-123-170.(4) If the Title IX coordinator and/or the student conduct official determines the facts in the investigation report are not sufficient to support Title IX jurisdiction and/or pursuit of a Title IX violation, the student conduct official will issue a notice of dismissal in whole or part to the parties explaining why some or all of the Title IX claims have been dismissed.Wash.
