Kentucky State University (KSU) is dedicated to maintaining an educational environment that fosters academic excellence, personal development, and respect for the rights of all individuals. All students are expected to uphold and abide by the standards of conduct that form the basis of this Student Code of Conduct (“Code”). This Code ensures the protection of a safe and orderly educational environment and applies to conduct that occurs on KSU premises, at KSU-sponsored activities, and to off-campus conduct that adversely affects the KSU community and its mission.
The student conduct process is not intended to punish students but rather to protect the interests of the KSU community and to challenge students whose behavior is not in accordance with KSU standards. Sanctions are intended to be educational and to encourage students to reflect upon their behavior and its impact.
