Withdrawal or Resignation While Charges Pending

Withdrawal or Resignation While Charges Pending 

a. Students: If a student has an allegation pending for violation of the Procedure, CWC may place a hold on a student’s ability to graduate and/or to receive an official transcript/diploma. 

Should a student decide to not participate in the resolution process, the process proceeds absent their participation to a reasonable resolution. Should a student Respondent permanently withdraw from CWC the resolution process ends, as CWC no longer has disciplinary jurisdiction over the withdrawn student. 

However, CWC will continue to address and remedy any systemic issues, variables that may have contributed to the alleged violation(s), and any ongoing effects of the alleged sexual harassment and/or retaliation. The student who withdraws or leaves while the process is pending may not return to CWC. Such exclusion applies to all campuses of Recipient. A hold will be placed on their ability to be readmitted. They may also be barred from Recipient property and/or events. 

If the student Respondent only withdraws or takes a leave for a specified period of time (e.g., one semester or term), the resolution process may continue remotely and that student is not permitted to return to CWC unless and until all sanctions have been satisfied. 

b. Employees: Should an employee Respondent resign with unresolved allegations pending, the resolution process ends, as CWC no longer has disciplinary jurisdiction over the resigned employee. 

However, CWC will continue to address and remedy any systemic issues, variables that contributed to the alleged violation(s), and any ongoing effects of the alleged harassment or retaliation. 

The employee who resigns with unresolved allegations pending is not eligible for rehire with CWC or any campus of CWC, and the records retained by the Title IX Coordinator will reflect that status. 

All CWC responses to future inquiries regarding employment references for that individual will include that the former employee resigned during a pending disciplinary matter.
