Section 478-120-145. Recording and maintenance of records.

(1) Records related to disciplinary proceedings shall be maintained consistent with university records retention policies and this conduct code.

(2) The president, vice-president for student life at the University of Washington Seattle campus, the chancellors of the University of Washington Bothell and Tacoma campuses, or their delegates, shall keep records related to all disciplinary actions reported to their respective offices and may notify the dean or director of the college, school, or program, in which a respondent is enrolled, of any action related to disciplinary proceedings involving the respondent, provided that the school official to whom the information is being disclosed has a legitimate educational interest in receiving such information, as permitted by FERPA.

(3) Records related to disciplinary proceedings shall be kept separate from academic records, and respondents' official academic transcripts shall not contain any notation of disciplinary action taken pursuant to this conduct code.

(4) The deans of a college or school at the University of Washington Seattle, the dean or directors of a program at the University of Washington Bothell and Tacoma campuses, or their delegates, shall maintain records related to all disciplinary matters reported to their respective offices and shall notify the office of the vice-president for student life, the office of the chancellor for the University of Washington Bothell or Tacoma campuses, whichever is appropriate, or their delegates, of any disciplinary action imposed against a respondent, who is enrolled in their college, school, or program. The university officials named in this section shall also inform the appropriate registrar of any action affecting a student's official standing in the university (e.g., suspension or dismissal).

(5) The chairs of the faculty appeal board and university disciplinary committees shall maintain the official record (as indicated in RCW 34.05.476) of each disciplinary hearing until a final order is issued or entered. At such time the respective chair will transmit the official record to the vice-president for student life, the chancellor for the University of Washington Bothell, or the chancellor for the University of Washington Tacoma, whoever is appropriate, or their delegates, who will maintain the official record in accordance with this section.

(6) Disciplinary records of respondents not exonerated shall be maintained for seven years after the resolution of all disciplinary proceedings (including the resolution of any petition for judicial review filed in superior court) or until the administrative purpose for retention has been served, whichever is later. Final orders imposing suspension or dismissal may be maintained indefinitely.

(7) Student disciplinary records are "education records" as defined by FERPA and may only be disclosed consistent with FERPA and chapter 478-140 WAC.
