[Wsssc] FW: Gender Equality in Higher Education RCW

[Joe Holliday]

WSSSC: Scott Copeland and Katie Rose here have led a major effort to bring the SBCTC Policy Manual up to date. See thread below, especially the hyperlink to Chapter 3 in Katie Rose’s email directly below this. Please make sure your colleges are adhering to the Gender Equality statute with local (college) policies. Ha Nguyen will be reaching out to your Equity and Diversity Officers with a similar message. Thank you.

Thank you!

Chapter 3 is updated<https://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/policies-rules/policy-manual/chapter-3.aspx>.

You can find the notification requirements under “Gender Equality” and “Sexual Harassment and Sexual Violence Policies and Procedures” in the PIO Resource Manual<https://www.sbctc.edu/colleges-staff/commissions-councils/pic/pio-resource-manual/website-publication-event-requirements/publication-requirements-publications.aspx>.

Okay, think we have most of this covered, but need to add an RCW to the text.


3.20.40 Access for Gender Equality
Community and technical colleges shall not discriminate in admission enrollment, financial aid, student employment, recreational activities, including athletics, student services, and/or any other program or service offered to all students on the basis of gender (see RCW 28B.110.030<https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=28B.110.030> and RCW 28B.110.040<https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=28B.110.040>).

Then in the Policy History section add the following:

Policy history
Action
Description
Revision Date
Passage of SHB 1430<http://leg.wa.gov/CodeReviser/documents/sessionlaw/1989c341.pdf?cite=1989%20c%20341%20%C2%A7%201>, amended 2012

Hi, Joe and Ha,

I’m finding that colleges don’t have a local Gender Equality policy, as required by the Gender Equality in Higher Education RCW<https://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=28B.110>.
