Dear Ms. Benson:
On May 1, 2023, the Kentucky State Approving Agency for Veterans Education sent an official notice requesting information as part of a Risk Based Survey for Kentucky State University. The Kentucky State Approving Agency originally requested all items be submitted by May 12, 2023. On May 2, 2023, a 7-day extension was granted to the university in order to ensure all requested information could be provided in a timely manner. On May 18th, one additional document was provided to aid in this submission. Kentucky State University in total had 19 days to review and provide the requested information to our agency by May 19, 2023.
On May, 19, 2023, our agency did not receive any of the requested financial documentation for review as stated in the official notice. On June 13, 2023, another request was sent to Kentucky State University requesting financial documentation be submitted to our office by close of business on June 16, 2023. Kentucky State University has failed to provide any financial documentation for review during the Risk Based Survey.
In accordance with Title 38 USC §3679 (a)(1), the Kentucky State Approving Agency for Veterans Education is placing Kentucky State University (Facility Code: 1-1-5057-17) on a 30-day suspension thereby suspending your school’s approval to certify the enrollment of any new veterans, or re-enrollment of previously enrolled students, or other eligible persons who may enroll at your school in your school’s programs, for a period of not more than 30 days, to allow time for your institution to comply with the request(s).
The effective dates for the suspension are June 20, 2023, through July 19, 2023.
