PURPOSE: Pursuant to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Board of Governors' Policy on Campus Sexual Violence, as revised on or about April 27, 2021, Kentucky State University (“KSU”) is required to use due diligence in gathering pertinent information regarding the prior conduct of any current or prospective student athlete, including a graduate or transfer student who seeks to enroll and participate in intercollegiate athletics at KSU.
POLICY STATEMENT: Kentucky State University is committed to fostering and creating a safe and productive campus community. In consistency with this commitment and to ensure compliance with the NCAA Campus Sexual Violence Policy, KSU shall require all current, prospective, and transfer student athletes to complete a Title IX and Serious Misconduct Student Athlete Disclosure Form and to disclose if s/he has been involved in serious misconduct. Furthermore, in a manner consistent with federal and state law, as an NCAA member, KSU shall share relevant discipline information and incomplete Title IX proceedings as a result of transfer with other member institutions when a student athlete attempts to enroll in a new college or university.
RELATED PROCEDURES: All student athletes, including those who are prospective and/or transfers shall complete the Title IX and Serious Misconduct Student Athlete Disclosure Form (“Disclosure Form”) before an official position on an athletics team or a financial aid agreement is offered. Current student athletes must complete the Disclosure form annually. Student athletes shall answer the Disclosure Form truthfully, accurately, and completely. If a student athlete is determined to have been untruthful or to have inaccurately completed the Disclosure Form, s/he shall be reviewed under the process detailed, “Procedures for Affirmative Response,” and may be subject to discipline up to a finding of ineligibility to participate in University athletics.
