This policy establishes the guidelines for the termination of employment for staff employees at Kentucky State University (KSU). It has been promulgated to ensure that KSU fulfills its responsibilities concerning all termination decisions.

Employment at KSU is at-will for staff employees. Therefore, either KSU or a staff employee may initiate termination of employment at any time in accordance with this policy. The term “employee” in this policy refers exclusively to staff employees.

At-will employment refers to KSU's right to terminate the employment of any employee at any time for any lawful reason—or for no reason at all—and the right of an employee to terminate his or her employment with KSU at any time and for any reason, or for no reason at all.
