Hearing Procedure for Dismissal. A. The affected employee shall have ten (10) days from the date of the notice of dismissal to make a written request for a hearing. If the affected employee does not request such a hearing from the President of the college within seven (7) days, the President will request a written determination from the employee as to whether he/she wishes to avail himself/herself of the right to a hearing. If the employee fails to respond within the ten (10) days provided herein, this failure to request a hearing shall constitute acceptance of dismissal and waiver of any right to a hearing. The decision of an employee not to request a hearing shall be communicated to the Dismissal Review Committee and Board of Trustees. Furthermore, a timely written request for a hearing within the above ten-day (10) period is deemed jurisdictional. B. Such formal hearing shall be held in accordance with, and in full compliance with, RCW 34.05.
