Kentucky State University is committed to fostering a nurturing and secure campus environment that benefits everyone. To ensure this, the University holds students to a high standard, as outlined in the Thorobred Creed, and mandates adherence to University policies and procedures. Students are charged with the responsibility to be well-informed about these policies and the potential disciplinary actions that could result from infractions. It is also critical for students to recognize that violations of University policies might also subject them to criminal statutes and penalties.
The University's Behavioral Code of Conduct explicitly outlines unacceptable behaviors and delineates the actions that are considered breaches of this Code. It further provides a comprehensive overview of the procedural steps and due process proceedings that are employed when dealing with alleged violations.
