Mandatory Student-Athlete Disclosure
- On an annual basis, all current student athletes will complete the Disclosure Form. Student athletes must complete the form truthfully, accurately, and completely, to the best of his or her knowledge.
- All prospective student athletes will receive the Disclosure Form from the Athletics/Admissions Office, or the coaching staff that is recruiting the prospect during the recruiting period. The Disclosure Form will have to be completed and turned into the Athletic Office for review before an official position on an athletics team or a financial aid agreement is offered.
- Prospective and/or transfer student athletes will have to complete the Disclosure Form prior to an offer of a grant-in-aid or offer of a walk-on position on a team, whichever comes first. Prospective and/or transfer student athletes must also fill out a Title IX & Serious Misconduct Consent Form which give written permission for KSU to contact his/her former institution to complete an inquiry related to whether if s/he has been a respondent in a case through the Title IX Office and whether s/he was found to be responsible. If the prospective and/or transfer student athlete attended more than one prior institution, then s/he will have to give written permission for all prior institutions.
Specifically, student athletes must disclose the following:
- Whether they have ever been disciplined (including, but not limited to, any sanctions, suspensions, expulsions, and remedies as a result of informal resolutions) through a Title IX or similar campus proceeding for sexual, interpersonal, or other acts of violence;
- Whether they have been convicted of, pleaded guilty, or pleaded no contest to any crime of sexual, interpersonal, or other acts of violence; and
- Whether, if a transfer, a Title IX proceeding was incomplete or pending at the time of transfer.
Students athletes need not disclose:
- That they are currently under investigation in a Title IX proceeding for sexual, interpersonal, or other acts of violence unless it was pending or incomplete at the time they transferred.
- That they have been found "not responsible" or "not in violation" through a Title IX proceeding for sexual, interpersonal, or other acts of violence.
- That they have been found "not guilty" or otherwise had charges dismissed without a conviction in a criminal investigation of sexual, interpersonal, or other acts of violence.
