Appeals
Either party (complainant or respondent) may appeal the decision-maker's determination regarding responsibility and/or KSU's dismissal of a formal complaint or any of its allegations.
Grounds for Appeal: Appeals are limited to the following grounds:
A procedural irregularity that affected the outcome of the matter (e.g., a material deviation from established procedures).
New evidence, which was not reasonably available at the time the determination regarding responsibility or dismissal was made, that could affect the outcome of the matter.
The Title IX Coordinator, investigator(s), or decision-maker(s) had a conflict of interest or bias for or against complainants or respondents generally, or the individual complainant or respondent, that affected the outcome of the matter.
• Appeal Process:
Appeals must be submitted in writing to the appeals officer within five (5) business days of the delivery of the written determination or dismissal. The Title IX Coordinator or decision-maker shall notify the parties of who the appeals officer is for a particular matter.
The written appeal must specify the ground(s) for appeal and include supporting information.
The non-appealing party will be notified of the appeal and provided an opportunity to submit a written statement in response within five (5) business days.
The appeals officer will review the written submissions and the record of the original matter to determine if the grounds for appeal have been met.
