Answers to these questions, at a minimum, must be provided by each current and prospective student-athlete even when KSU has no independent reason to suspect the current or prospective student-athlete may have engaged in conduct that would trigger KSU's Interim Title IX and Other Sexual Misconduct Policy ("Title IX Policy"). Current and prospective student-athletes shall be notified that failure to disclose any kind of Serious Misconduct may result in disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion from KSU. When KSU has an independent reason to inquire into a current or prospective student-athletes prior conduct, the institution shall conduct a thorough inquiry designed to gather all information needed to assess the situation, including but not limited to a background check and internet search. KSU is expected to ask the student-athlete and others who might possess pertinent information to provide any such information, and where appropriate, to request authorization from such persons to obtain pertinent documents and information from third parties. When a question exists whether the student-athlete has triggered the Title IX policy or engaged in serious misconduct, the KSU Student-Athlete Conduct Advisory Committee shall be notified prior to making the decision to provide aid or allow the student-athlete to practice or compete. All information provided will be kept confidential to the extent authorized by applicable law.
