APPEALS AND APPEAL OFFICER

The Complainant or Respondent may appeal:

1. The findings of the Decision Maker,
2. Sanctions imposed by the Decision Maker, and
3. Dismissal of a Formal Complaint.

The Appeals Officer or designee will review the appeal and the appeal response to determine if one of the ground(s) for appeal have been met. In student matters not involving suspension, expulsion, or eviction from Housing, or employee matters not involving the termination of tenured faculty, the appeals officer decision is final.

In student matters involving suspension, expulsion, or eviction from Housing or employee matters involving termination of tenured faculty, in accord with KRS 164.370 and 164.360, the Appeals Officer will only make a recommendation regarding whether grounds for appeal have been met.

Appeals are confined to a review of the written record on appeal.
