Presidential Ambassadors serve as official representatives of Kentucky State University when performing assigned Ambassador duties or otherwise expressly authorized to represent the University.
In that capacity, Ambassadors are expected to communicate professionally, courteously, and accurately; follow University policies and program instructions; and refrain from presenting personal opinions as official positions of Kentucky State University.
Unless specifically authorized, Presidential Ambassadors are not spokespersons for the University and may not make official statements on behalf of Kentucky State University or the Office of the President. Questions involving University policy, legal matters, institutional controversies, media inquiries, or matters outside an Ambassador’s assigned responsibilities should be referred to the program administrator or another appropriate University official.
Nothing in these standards is intended to restrict a student’s constitutionally protected expression when speaking in an individual capacity. Participation in the Presidential Ambassadors Program does not waive any rights provided by the United States Constitution, the Kentucky Constitution, KRS 164.348, or University policy.
