APPROVED BY: Kentucky State University Board of Regents

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 18, 2023

REVISED FROM: Previous Version of Clear Bag Policy

POLICY STATEMENT:

Students and other spectators deserve to be safe when attending Kentucky State University events. This policy aims to increase the safety and security of Kentucky State University events by making it more difficult for individuals to conceal weapons, narcotics, and other illicit items.

APPROVED BAGS:

The University strongly encourages individuals to not bring any bags to KSU events. However, individuals are permitted to carry one (1) of the following bags into an event venue:

  • A bag made of plastic, vinyl, or PVC that is clear and that does not exceed 12" x 6" x 12" (height x depth x width) in size. Such a bag may be a clear backpack, clear fanny pack, and any other clear bag that fits within the approved dimensions.
  • A gallon-sized clear food-storage bag (such as a Ziploc bag).
  • A small clutch-style purse or wallet that does not exceed 4.5" x 6.5" in size. The purse or wallet does not need to be clear.

All other bags or containers are prohibited unless they are medically necessary.

PROCEDURES:

  1. A police officer or security guard will be posted at every entrance of an event's venue.
  2. Attendees will be required to pass through a safety checkpoint before entering the venue.
  3. Any attendee who is attempting to bring an unapproved bag into the venue will be asked to leave the checkpoint area and get rid of the bag before re-entering the checkpoint line.
  4. Any attendee who attempts to re-enter the checkpoint line without getting rid of an unapproved bag will be banned from attending the event.
