Kentucky State University (KSU) administers this disciplinary regulation to prevent and redress improper conduct as quickly as possible and in a manner that is fair and consistent. The goal of this regulation is to create a work environment that is conducive to advancing the missions and values of KSU.
Staff employees are employed on an at-will basis, meaning that an employee or KSU may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without prior notice. Therefore, the use of progressive discipline is at the sole discretion of KSU.
Unsatisfactory work performance occurs when an employee's overall job performance does not meet the minimum standards established by KSU in its Established Work Rules Regulation. When an employee's job performance is not satisfactory, KSU may employ a progressive discipline system to redress improper or unsatisfactory conduct.
