## EXTENSION CONTACTS & Stakeholder Involvement 1- Antonious, GF has disseminated KSU research results of using municipal sewage sludge (2008-2014) and provided expertise in recycling waste to three Kentucky small farmers: 1- Clem Haskins Family Farms and worked with Dwain & Theresa Brockman, Kentucky vegetable growers in Columbia, KY 42728; 2- Mr. Norman M. Watts (7625 Brandenburg Road, Ebron, KY 40117); and 3- Mr. Morris Roman, Ekron, KY. The three farmers are currently using municipal sewage sludge on their farms for commercial vegetable production. ===== PAGE 91 ===== 2- Antonious, GF has been serving (2008-2014) as lead research scientist in the KSU Evans-Allen Project dealing with chemical analyses of soil and plant tissues samples collected from Meade, Ekron and Columbia Counties. The project main objective is to monitor the impact of heavy metals in sewage sludge on the quality of vegetables grown in small farms. Mr. Norman Watts, Brandenburg Road, Ekron, KY and Clem Haskins Family Farms, and Dwain & Theresa Brockman Fields, Columbia, KY 42728 are collaborators in this KSU/USDA/CSREES project. 3- Antonious, G.F. collaborated with Dr. Rezaul Mahmood, Department of Geography and Geology, Western Kentucky University and installed a new weather station at KSU Research Farm as a result of WKU/KSU joined Mesonet Consortium Project. 4- Antonious, GF has collaborated with Mr. Louie Rivers, Manager of small farmers outreach program and demonstrated several on-farm soil management practice, water quality issues, and the safe use of alternative pesticides to all Kentucky growers during several meetings with KY growers and minority farmers. 5- Antonious, GF, member of the KSU Organic Agriculture Working Group (organic.kysu.edu) and is currently serving as the group contact person for natural products chemistry & hot pepper formulations. 6- Antonious, GF developed a natural product formulation from wild tomato leaves and from hot pepper fruits for use in pest control in vegetable production with collaboration with private sector (Shawnee Research & Development, Jamestown, TN). Also developed and taught the 1st undergraduate research project at Kentucky State University (KSU) for training and teaching limited-resource farmers at KSU Third-Thursday meetings. 7- Antonious, GF developed and installed the 1st biobed (biofilter) systems in 2008 at Kentucky State University Research Farm (Franklin County, KY 40601) to reduce the impact of pesticides and heavy metals on environmental quality. Also, delivered new technology of using sewage sludge for land farming in 1998 in KY counties to increase crop yield and reduce dependence on synthetic fertilizers. This has resulted in a significant saving to limited resource farmers who are facing the sharply-escalating production costs associated with increasing costs of energy and fertilizers. ## MEMBERSHIP: Member of the Journal of Environmental Science and Health Editorial Board (2006-2017).

It aims to provide researchers with a more robust code base that is truly cross-platform and standards-compliant, and that can be configured for different methods, preconditioners, and solvers at compile time in a less ad-hoc way as is currently the case for the existing code. ## • “Beehive Monitoring”: (8/2012—present) This research focuses on monitoring beehive health through temperature measurement. The goal is to equip beehive cases with 96 temperature sensors to assess hive health especially during the winter months. Data is collected every 30 minutes and handed off via the cell phone network to a database for visualization and anomaly reporting purposes. All hard-and software is open source and it is envisioned that this will be extended to other sensor types to enable citizen scientists to cheaply build and deploy sensor networks for environmental monitoring. • “Environmental Monitoring and Citizen Science”: (2015–present) This project is a collaborative effort with Kentucky State University's Land Grant Program. ===== PAGE 173 ===== The goal is to develop cheap, versatile sensors to measure and collect environmental data. Systems should be affordable and easy to set up so that citizen scientists who have a need for environmental monitoring can do so without compromising quality or integrity of the collected data. The hope is to improve the density of existing data collection networks as well as to detect pollution and hold polluters accountable via accurate data and a chain of custody that holds up in court. • “Creativity and Software Development”: (7/2008-8/2012) Research on creativity in the context of software has mostly focussed on applications to enhance and foster creativity. Software development as a creative process has received little attention so far. This multi-disciplinary research project in collaboration with psychologists and software engineers associated with the Center for Visualization seeks to explore the conditions for and assessment of creativity in the software development process. ## ● “AVA”: (3/2007-present) The Ambient Virtual Assistant project aims to provide a general infrastructure to integrate massive, wide-area sensor and actuator networks to explore new human-computer interaction paradigms. • “Audio Rendering”: (7/2006—present) Development of a novel multipole-based algorithm to render audio in immersive virtual environments. • “Microphone Array”: (9/2004 - present) Development of advanced algorithms for audio signal processing using a microphone array and a Linux-based cluster of computers.

Research (25%). As Horticulture research leader, our program has focused about 80% of our research effort toward developing pawpaw as a new commercial crop, with the remaining 20% of our research effort directed toward primocane blackberry, grape, and hazelnut variety trials. Our pawpaw research includes efforts to: 1) develop pawpaw rootstocks and training systems; 2) support on-going efforts related to KSU's role as USDA Repository for pawpaw in germplasm acquisition and preservation; 3) propagate and establish pawpaw variety trials to evaluate promising new varieties for potential release and trademark by KSU 4) conduct variety trials with primocane fruiting blackberries from the University of Arkansas and Eastern Filbert Resistant hazelnut varieties; 5) expand the KSU pawpaw website; and 6) develop organic production methods. I have had cooperative research projects with Dr. Robert Geneve on in vitro clonal ===== PAGE 236 ===== propagation of pawpaw and with Dr. Douglas Archbold on pawpaw postharvest physiology; both are researchers in the Dept. of Horticulture at the University of Kentucky (UK). Having led one of the larger programs in terms of personnel in CRS, I have overseen and supervised research personnel (Co-Is, RAs, Technicians, and students) with a range of experiences and degree levels. Teaching and Mentoring Students (25%): I mentored five MES graduate students this year (Srijana ThapaMagar, Sijan Pandit, Matthew Behrends, Harry Momo, and Brian Edgar). Over the last eight years at KSU, I developed and/or have been an instructor for the following courses: AFE 217 Plant Science (3 credits), AFE 407 Agroforestry: A local and Global Perspective (3 credits), ENV 545 Molecular Techniques for Environmental and Aquatic Studies (3 credits), and ENV 585 Special Topics in AFE (3 credits). In the past I have also taught, BIO 495: Special Topics in Biology-Understanding Biotechnology. (3 cr). Undergraduate students gain “hands on” experience with the methods of molecular biology used in biotechnology. I have mentored 12 Masters of Science in Environmental Studies graduate students in projects involving genetic diversity of spicebush and pawpaw, invasive plant incidence, and fruit and vegetable crops. I have mentored two postdoctoral researchers at KSU, served on the committees of six Aquaculture MS graduate students at KSU, and co-advised two MS and two Ph.D. students at UK. I serve as a mentor in the summer KSU Research and Extension Apprentice Program, which allows minority high school students to gain experience in laboratory techniques through a directed research project. As an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Horticulture at UK, I guest lecture in the fruit and nut production class concerning pawpaw and hazelnut production practices. Extension activities: I have replied to over 1000 emails, letters, and telephone calls over the last 10 years, visited grower sites, and organized one to two field days each year. I conceptualized and chaired the Second, Third, and Fourth International Pawpaw Conferences. Over 140 people attended each Conference I developed a pawpaw information website (http://www.pawpaw kysu.edu) that has had over 1,000,000 visitors since 1999 which was recognized as an outstanding horticultural extension publication by Southern Region-American Society for Horticultural Science in 2000. 2012-2015. Associate Research Director (50%) and Professor in the Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (25% Research and 25% Teaching), Kentucky State University, Frankfort, KY. 1998-Present. Curator, USDA National Clonal Germplasm Repository for Asimina species, Kentucky State University. Maintenance and acquisition of Asimina species germplasm collection. As a satellite site of the repository at Corvallis OR, the KSU orchards contain more than 2000 accessions from 66 distinct geographic regions in 17 different states. 1998-2012. Principal Investigator of Horticulture. Kentucky State University, Frankfort, KY. Research and Supervision: About 90% of my research effort is focused toward developing pawpaw [Asimina triloba (L.) Dunal] as a new commercial crop, with the remaining 10% of our research effort directed toward primocane fruiting blackberry, gooseberry, currant, and hazelnut variety trials. 2008-Present. Adjunct Associate Professor of Horticulture, University of Kentucky. After completing the promotion process at UK, I was promoted to Adjunct Associate Professor I pursue collaborative research projects with faculty in the UK Horticulture Department that involve pomology and crop production systems. I co-advise graduate students and have cooperative research projects with members of the Department of Horticulture at the University of Kentucky. I also guest lecture in fruit and nut production courses and assist the department in other horticultural research and extension matters. 1998-2008. Adjunct Assistant Professor of Horticulture, University of Kentucky. 1996-1998. Post-doctoral Research Associate. USDA-ARS, at Children's Nutrition Research Center, Baylor College of Medicine. My research examined the transport and storage of calcium in green bean pods, in an effort to increase bioavailable calcium levels to benefit the nutritional needs of humans. Supervisor: Dr. Michael Grusak. ===== PAGE 237 ===== 1996. Post-doctoral Research Project. Oregon State University. My postdoctoral project concerned identifying random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers for self-incompatibility alleles in hazelnut. RAPD marker bands were then cloned, and sequenced to enable the production of longer primers used to obtain sequence characterized amplified regions (SCARs) that will enable marker assisted selection of desired S-alleles in the OSU hazelnut breeding program. Supervisor: Dr. Anita Azarenko. ## EXTRAMURAL FUNDING 2017.

May 2005 Southern Illinois University, Carbondale Lower Division Honors B.A. May 2002 ## Dissertation Title: Measuring Up – The Effect of Minority Status and Other Core Characteristics On Collective Self Esteem: a Quantitative Test of Divergent Theories of Identity Valuation Abstract: Many scholars have argued that membership in a minority or “low status” group causes individuals to devalue identities like race, class, gender, and orientation (Hacker 1992; Harris 1993; Tatum 1997; McIntyre 2002). For example, Hacker famously contends that African-Americans devalue Black racial identity while Caucasians value white identity highly, and argues for affirmative action as a partial solution to this problem (Hacker 1995). However, this thesis has never actually been tested using contemporary methodological techniques in the modern American context. I use a large-N List Experiment (Sniderman & Carmines 1997) and ordinal survey techniques to determine whether membership in four minority in-groups (racial minorities, women, LGBT Americans, and members of religious minority groups) correlates significantly with devaluation of minority in-group identities. Results indicate that minority identity, with the sole and significant exception of bi- or homosexual identification, is not significantly and consistently correlated with identity devaluation. ===== PAGE 257 ===== ## Refereed Research Publications Reilly, Will. 2008. “Does Athletic Investment Make Sense?

Principal Investigator, Land Grant Program, Community Research Service, Kentucky State University, Frankfort, KY. 1988 to 2012. Adjunct Assistant Professor, Department of Entomology, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, 1990 to present a) Administration: I lead and coordinate teaching, research and extension efforts in the Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources for seventeen faculty members; b) Research: My research focuses on conservation biological control using native perennial plants and synthetic insect attractants (e.g., methyl salicylate) to increase biodiversity of insect predators and parasitoids (i.e., natural enemies) to manage pest insects in vegetable and fruit crops. Specifically we are attracting several species of lady beetles, lacewings, big eyed bugs, minute pirate bugs, ground beetles and other predators and parasitoids of sweet corn and blackberry pests to these crops. Much of my research is conducted at the KSU Agricultural Research and Demonstration Farm and at grower cooperator farms. However, we also evaluate/develop sustainable methods of sweet corn and blackberry pests to these crops. ===== PAGE 262 ===== blackberry insect pest management by 1) conducting laboratory bioassays of natural products [e.g., pawpaw, button bush and Forsythia extracts] on major sweet corn and blackberry pests and 2) conducting laboratory bioassays of flowering plants, weeds, and synthetic herbivore induced plant protection odors which may attract or repel beneficial insects; c) Extension activities: I have contact with several local commercial sweet corn and blackberry growers in Franklin and Scott Counties and have six blackberry growers in Fayette, Franklin, Scott and Shelby Counties participating in on-farm research. Also, I participate in the monthly Kentucky State University Third Thursday Sustainable Agriculture Workshop and answer emails, letters, and telephone calls regarding insect identification, life history, damage and management; d) Teaching and Mentoring Students: I am a research mentor for BIO 401/BIO 410: Special Problems in Biology, a senior undergraduate research course at KSU; AFE 311, AFE 411, and AFE 401: upper classmen level work and research experience in the AFE Program; and ENV 501 and ENV 503: a graduate level course series teaching student team research, and ENV 600, ENV 601, and ENV 699 research, thesis, and capstone project, respectively. As part of the Capacity Building Grant entitled “Development of a Baccalaureate Degree Program in Agriculture, Food, and Environment Supporting Research Opportunities at Kentucky State University,” authored by Pomper, Bomford, Sedlacek, Antonious, Tope, Andries, and Tidwell for $600,000 from USDA-NIFA, I have participated in having the degree program and associated courses accepted by the KSU Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee and the full Faculty Senate. I have taught AFE 116 Introduction to Agriculture, Food, and the Environment, AFE 117 Global Perspectives in Agriculture, Food, and Environment, AFE 318 Environmental Entomology, and AFE 311 Practicum I and AFE 411 Practicum II for the new B.S. in Agriculture, Food, and Environment degree at KSU. Since 2008 I have mentored 16 undergraduate students in the BIO 401/410 and AFE 311/411/401 series and 12 who were undergraduate laboratory research assistants. Currently I am mentoring 19 graduate students in the ENV 501/ENV 503 student team research classes. I am advising and mentoring six MES students in their ENV 600 and 601 thesis research projects. I guest lecture in BIO 495 Special Topics in Biology-Understanding Biotechnology. Since 2015 I have mentored three high school students in the KSU Student Apprenticeship Program. Several of my students have won state and national awards for presentations concerning their research projects. ## GRANT MANAGEMENT Kentucky Horticulture Council.

She is also a national radio show host on Sirius XM and an accomplished author. Winston has been working at the collegiate level for 16 years in various roles. Colleagues describe her research and body of work as prolific. Because of her stellar research agenda, Dr. Winston was awarded tenure. She was recently described by former Nashville Mayor Megan Barry as a true powerhouse in the field of higher education. This longtime educator is the founder of 3 mentoring programs geared towards assisting individuals in the Nashville community and beyond. Powerful testimonials from Winston’s mentees reveal that she is dedicated to helping others reach their fullest potential. Her passion for education and community service has helped her earn several accolades. A highly sought-after speaker, she also facilitates numerous workshops on various topics. She is among this year’s Class of 2018 protégés for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities’ (AASCU) Millennium Leadership Initiative Institute in Washington, DC. The purpose of the highly selective Millennium Leadership Initiative (MLI) is to prepare, enhance and advance the prospect for qualified candidates, who have progressed in their professional careers, to successfully compete in the future for positions of president or chancellor at universities or colleges, public or private. Dr. Winston was recently awarded the prestigious 2017 Athena Young Professional Leadership Award. Winston also received the Nashville Business Journal’s “2017 Woman of Influence Award”. She received the 2015 Woman of Achievement Award at the 35th Annual Women in Higher Education in Tennessee conference.

She also received the 2018 Black Nashville Honors Award alongside renowned gospel artist Bobby Jones and 4 other African Americans who are dedicated to making a ===== PAGE 332 ===== difference in the community. Nashville Lifestyle Magazine named Winston one of Nashville’s 25 Most Beautiful People. Winston was awarded the 2015-2016 Professor of Year Award by the College of Liberal Arts. She was also awarded the 2012-2013 Professor of the Year Award. She is the only professor in the College of Liberal Arts to receive this award twice. Not only was she chosen as one of the Nashville Business Journal's Top 40 Under 40 but she was also selected as one of the Network Journal's 2015 “40 Under Forty” Dynamic Achievers in the United States. The national award recognizes outstanding young African-Americans who are “Reaching for Higher Goals” in their careers while remaining dedicated to their community’s development. Notable past honorees include renowned journalist Soledad O’Brien. Winston is also a Young Leaders Council alumna. She is very passionate about promoting the importance of having strong mentorship programs in place. One of her mentoring programs (Black Docs Mentoring) specializes in mentoring scholars of color throughout the United States who are interested in pursuing their doctoral degree. Several of her mentees have received their doctoral degree from various universities throughout the country. Her latest mentorship program (The Dr. Tameka Winston Mentorship Program) is geared towards students from various universities in the Nashville area affected by the death of a parent/primary caregiver. Two students will be selected and added to the program each academic year. She will connect each mentee with a licensed psychologist. Winston is an advocate for mental health and she spends a significant amount of time helping to eliminate the stigma and improve access/treatment in the local community and nationwide. The mentees receive care packages each semester that will consist of items that are useful to college students. The care package will also include contact information for an assigned licensed psychologist if needed, snacks, school supplies and other things deemed appropriate. Dr. Winston will work closely with the students/mentees throughout their time in college. Recently, she worked closely with the Tennesseean to organize the department’s first endowed scholarship (Getahn Ward Memorial Scholarship) in the amount of $85,000. The scholarship was created in honor of the late TSU professor and longtime Tennesseean business reporter, Mr. Getahn Ward. Because of Mr. Ward’s dedication to the community, the department and the field of journalism, Winston’s vision was to acknowledge him in a permanent way by naming the department’s newsroom in his honor. ===== PAGE 333 ===== Winston researched and developed the entire print curriculum for the department, which incorporates new media technologies and multimedia convergence. Also, she is the first in the department to develop and teach a course that is offered solely online. Her research interests include coverage of education related issues in the media, media convergence, new media technologies, multimedia curriculum and the status of education in the black belt states. Dr. Winston has been featured in various print and broadcast media outlets including Fox 17/ WZTV, WKRN, The Tennessee Tribune, Nashville Business Journal, Nashville Lifestyle Magazine, the Network Journal, The Tennessee and many more.

Dr. Winston’s voice can be heard each week anywhere in the United States because of her national radio show that she refers to as a great platform to inspire others to reach their fullest potential. She also created both shows. The two shows are Black Docs and the Dr. Tameka Winston show. The show, Black Docs, features a panel of female doctors from different fields. Each host brings her own unique experiences to the show; which leads to informative, fun and witty discussions. The co-hosts share their opinions on numerous subject matters that are important to the African American community including: HBCU history, mental health, healthy living, and much more. Because Winston believes in active involvement within the community, her goal is to go beyond the radio to not only discuss the issues but also engage the issues. She believes that the show is a wonderful opportunity to offer a counter-narrative to the negative images of black women in the media. Mentoring and supporting those in need are integral to the mission of show. Winston is also passionate about the current state of education in the K-12 setting and current issues in the African American community. This is evident by her radio show topics.

SUBJ ECT:Approval of Laundry Fee and Correction to Tuition and Fee Schedule
FROM:Office of Finance and Administration
ACTION ITEM:Yes
## BACKGROUND: ## Laundry Fee Kentucky State University has entered into an agreement with CSC to provide new washers and dryers for all university residence halls. These laundry machines are wifi enabled and have a number of modern features that will improve the experience for students. Kentucky State University will also transition from a transaction payment model to a semester model by implementing a $50 per semester laundry fee for students living in residence halls. This results in a weekly charge of approximately $3.12 per week for unlimited laundry access. ## Tuition and Fee Corrections The tuition and fee schedule approved by the Kentucky State University Board of Regents at the June 7, 2018 meeting did not accurately reflect the costs for Dual Credit English courses or Board Rates for Commuter Meals. The schedule listed English 101 at a rate of $20 per credit hour. Actually, all dual credit English courses should be at a rate of $20 per credit hour. The schedule listed the Board Rate for Commuter Meals at a rate of $400 per semester. The rate should be $570 per semester. ## SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS/ACTIVITIES: N/A ===== PAGE 380 ===== # KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY Board of Regents ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC GOALS: Goal 1: Enhance Student Enrollment, Improve Student Life and Engagement, and Improve Student Advising and Career Development. ## Goal 3: Increase the University's Financial Strength and Operational Efficiency COMMITTEE/PROGRAM ACTION: N/A PROGRAM IMPLICATIONS: N/A FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: Laundry fee will provide sufficient resources to operate the residence hall laundry program.

Dr. Stokes appeals her termination, of which she was given notification in a document entitled Charge Supporting the Termination and Removal of Karah Stokes, which alleges four incidents that support the action taken. Dr. Stokes either denies that the incidents occurred as they are alleged or argues that the alleged incidents do not warrant termination. KSU called three witnesses: "PW,"1 a former KSU student; Dr. Lorna Shaw, KSU Associate Provost for Academic Affairs; and Travis Haskins, KSU Assistant Director of Academic Advising. The Petitioner called three witnesses besides herself: Dr. April Fallon, ===== PAGE 384 ===== # ○ ○ KSU fulltime faculty; James Thornton, former KSU visiting instructor; and Keith Crabtree, former KSU instructional counselor. Nineteen exhibits were introduced into the evidence at the hearing without objection. KSU offered five of those exhibits. The Petitioner offered thirteen exhibits. During the hearing, the Hearing Officer directed Dr. April Fallon, after the hearing, to produce an email that she testified she sent to KSU administration personnel expressing her concerns about administrators observing freshman math and English classes. Dr. Fallon's email was submitted for the record and was introduced into the evidentiary record as Hearing Exhibit 9 with no objection by the parties. The parties agreed to file written arguments in lieu of closing arguments. The Petitioner asked for a thirty day extension of time to file her post-hearing brief to allow her time to transcribe the hearing recording. The Hearing Officer granted her request and set March 21, 2018, as the date for her to file her brief. The Petitioner did not transcribe the recording, however. The parties' written arguments have been considered in making this decision. By post-hearing notice, the Hearing Officer set June 19, 2018, as the date by which he would file this recommended order. ## OTHER POST-ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING ORDERS By Post-Hearing Order dated January 17, 2018, the Hearing Officer directed the parties to file in the record copies of all the relevant pages from the KSU Faculty Handbook bearing on the KSU administration's authority to observe faculty classroom teaching. Neither party submitted a responsive document. ===== PAGE 385 ===== By Post-Hearing Order dated April 23, 2018, the Hearing Officer also gave the parties time to object to the inclusion in Exhibit 3 of additional provisions of Section 1 of the Standards Governing Student Conduct of the KSU Student Handbook that were not included in the exhibit introduced into the record of the hearing. Neither party filed an objection and these additional provisions became part of the evidentiary record. ## PARTIES' AGREEMENT CONCERNING APPLICATION OF KRS CHAPTER 13B Prior to the hearing, the parties agreed that this matter is exempt from KRS Chapter 13B pursuant to KRS 13B.020(3)(g)(2). However, because neither KRS 164.360 nor Title 745 of the Kentucky Administrative Regulations nor the Faculty Handbook contain sufficiently detailed procedures for faculty termination hearings, the parties agreed that the provisions of KRS Chapter 13B would be applied to this administrative hearing, including the timings for exceptions to the recommended order and for an appeal of the final order. The parties also agreed that the Hearing Officer would conduct the evidentiary hearing sitting alone and would make a recommendation to the KSU Board of Regents, which is the agency head in this matter pursuant to KRS 164.360(1)(a). ## SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION After considering the record as a whole, and based on the findings and conclusions set forth hereafter, the Hearing Officer RECOMMENDS that the Kentucky State University Board of Regents issue a final order AFFIRMING the TERMINATION of Dr. Karah Stokes from Kentucky State University faculty and AFFIRMING Dr. Stokes' SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY beginning September 16, 2016, through the date of the Board of Regents' final order. ===== PAGE 386 ===== # ☐ ## FINDINGS OF FACT Charges, Petitioner's Suspension, and Petitioner's Response 1. From 1997 until the end of the spring semester 2016, the Kentucky State University employed the Petitioner, Dr. Karah Stokes, as a fulltime faculty member in the Division of Literature, Language, and Philosophy. She became tenured in 2002, and she was promoted to fulltime professor in 2008. Day 1 Hearing Recording, 18:40 through 21:30 ("1 HR 18:40–21:30").2 2. On April 22, 2016, Raymond M. Burse, then President of KSU, issued a document entitled Charge Supporting the Termination and Removal of Karah Stokes ("the Notification of Charges"), which terminated the Petitioner. Hearing Exhibit 1 ("HE 1"). 3. The President's termination letter stated, "Dr. Stokes may, within 10 days of the date below, respond to the charge, in writing to the undersigned, and state whether she desires to make defense before the KSU Board of Regents. In that event, a date will be set by the Board of Regents for a hearing on the charge." HE 1, page 2. 4. On March 7, 2016, the Petitioner's counsel wrote a letter to the General Counsel of KSU stating the charging document provided to him was unsigned. The Petitioner's counsel states he was “confused as to when the ten day period [for responding to the charges] starts.” HE 18. The Petitioner's counsel also states, “While I would certainly appreciate a signed copy of the charge which would then begin the ten day period, please consider this letter as Dr. Stokes' response and objection to the proposed termination.” Id. ===== PAGE 387 ===== 5. Then, on April 29, 2016, the Petitioner's counsel wrote a letter to KSU's General Counsel stating, "Dr. Stokes denies each and every allegation contained in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the April 25, 2016 [charging] letter." The Petitioner's April 29, 2016, letter asks for documentation supporting the charges, but it does not affirmatively state that the Petitioner claims back pay to the date KSU stopped paying the Petitioner. 6. On September 16, 2016, KSU suspended Dr. Stokes without pay and removed her from the roster of faculty who taught classes at KSU.3 2 HR 1:59:30. 7. During some of the time period covered by the charges, the Division of Literature, Language, and Philosophy did not have a chairperson. During this interim, Dr. Stokes reported to Dr. Lorna Shaw, KSU Dean and Associate Provost for Academic Affairs. 8. On October 12, 2016, the Petitioner filed a Complaint with the Franklin Circuit Court, case number 16-CI-01086, against Kentucky State University; Dr. Aaron Thompson, Interim President of KSU, in his individual and official capacity; the Board of Regents of KSU; and all of the Board members in their individual and official capacities. The Complaint states that the Petitioner has not been afforded a hearing. The Petitioner also states she has not been paid since the time she was suspended without pay, and that she is due compensatory damages, although the amount and basis for this claim are not stated in the Complaint. 9. On March 8, 2017, before the Franklin Circuit Court issued any ruling in the case, the Petitioner's counsel filed with the court a Motion to Hold Case in Abeyance Pending Hearing. In an appearance before the court on March 8, 2017, counsel for KSU stated that KSU agreed the suit should be stayed pending a resolution by the Board. The Franklin Circuit Court ===== PAGE 388 ===== ## ○ Judge directed the parties to file an agreed order, but no agreed order appears in the Franklin Circuit Court record. 10. On October 30, 2017, KSU issued a Notice of Administrative Appeal that initiated the action herein. No responsive answer to the charges or the Notice of Administrative Appeal was filed by the Petitioner. 11. The Notification of Charges alleged four grounds for Dr. Stokes' termination. Findings concerning each charge will be stated in chronological order hereafter. Background to the first charge addressed in the findings will be stated first. ## Accelerated Learning Program 12. During KSU's fall 2013 and spring 2014 semesters, KSU personnel conducted a pilot program of “accelerated learning” to address problems with incoming freshmen's proficiency in English and math. Under the previous system, entering students who received an ACT score below 18 in either English or math would be assigned to a remedial class (“001” classes) rather than being assigned to mainstream classes (“101” classes). The results of studies for more than a decade had shown a significant number of students assigned to these remedial classes were not obtaining proficiency. 1 HR 38:00, et sequa. 13. The accelerated learning pilot program explored two overarching changes to freshman English and math to help low-performing freshman improve their proficiency in those subjects. 14. First, these incoming, low-performing students would no longer be placed in remedial classes. They would be placed in mainstream classes, but they would be given supplemental instruction and support two days per week. ===== PAGE 389 =====

Image
15. The second change explored in the pilot program required the faculty who taught the mainstream classes to use “engaged learning” or “active learning” teaching methods. The faculty were to deemphasize “talk and chalk” passive teaching methods. Instead, faculty were to emphasize methods that engaged the students by using, for instance, film, social media, and student participation. 1 HR 41:30, et sequa. 16. The pilot program showed promise. Thus, then-President Raymond Burse and the KSU Senate approved the program's implementation in the fall 2015 semester. 17. Dr. Lorna Shaw was hired as KSU Dean in the spring 2015 semester. In this capacity, one of her duties was to implement the accelerated learning program. Although she had not taught university classes using the accelerated learning program, during her fifteen years as an administrator at other colleges and universities, including as dean, she had implemented and had overseen similar programs. 18. Dr. Shaw held “round-tables” and seminars with the faculty concerning the accelerated learning program. During these meetings, Dr. Shaw informed the faculty that she and another administrator, Dr. Erin Wheeler, would be visiting the freshmen English and math classes to observe how well the faculty members were implementing the accelerated learning program. 1 HR 47:00, et sequa. Their intention was to use the observations to provide feedback on implementation of the accelerated learning program 19. Implementation of the accelerated learning program also required KSU to hire additional support instructors. KSU apparently had not hired sufficient personnel at the beginning of the fall 2015 semester to provide all the English and math faculty members with support instructors. Apparently, Dr. Stokes was one of the faculty who did not have a support ===== PAGE 390 ===== instructor at the beginning of the fall 2015 semester for her English 101 class that is featured in the charges against her. ### Dr. Stokes' Refusal to Allow KSU Personnel to Observe Her Classes 20. Charge 34 of the April 22, 2016, Notification of Charges states as follows: Dr. Stokes improperly prevented Dr. Erin Wheeler and Dr. Lorna Shaw from observing her class, even though Dr. Wheeler and Dr. Shaw are faculty members and part of the Academic Affairs executive leadership. Section 2.9.2(a) of the Faculty Handbook requires faculty members to “respect the rights of all campus members to pursue their academic and administrative activities.” Dr. Stokes allowed Dr. Wheeler and Dr. Shaw to enter her class on one occasion but subsequently informed them that they were not to return. Dr. Stokes's actions hindered Dr. Wheeler and Dr. Shaw's efforts to assess how they could further provide needed and appropriate academic assistance to students in Dr. Stokes's classes, consequently inhibiting them from fulfilling their academic and administrative duties. The actions of Dr. Stokes in this regard constitute a neglect or refusal to perform her duties, which is cause for termination under KRS 164.360(3). ## HE 1 21. Concerning Charge 3 quoted above, Section 2.9.2(a) of the KSU Faculty Handbook governing “Faculty Responsibilities” states, “Faculty members shall respect the rights of all campus members to pursue their academic and administrative responsibilities.” HE 2, p. 2-38. 22. The evidence shows, as detailed hereafter, that Dr. Stokes improperly told Dr. Erin Wheeler and Dr. Lorna Shaw not to return to one of her English classes after they had observed her class on one occasion. ===== PAGE 391 ===== 23. In September 2015, Dr. Shaw and Dr. Wheeler attended one of Dr. Stokes' English 101 classes to observe how she was implementing the accelerated learning program. 1 HR 1:29. The two administrators arrived a few minutes after the start of class. They had been delayed discussing with another instructor their observation of that instructor's class, which had occurred immediately prior to Dr. Stokes' class. 24. Both after her class and in a subsequent meeting, Dr. Stokes told Dr. Shaw and Dr. Wheeler that their late arrival “disrupted the class.” However, there was no class activity to disrupt. According to Dr. Stokes’ own description, that day she directed the students to write two pages of ideas, without attempting to write them grammatically. The ideas would later be turned into grammatical writing samples. The students turned in their two pages of ideas when they were finished and they left the class. 2 HR 1:24, et sequa. Dr. Shaw and Dr. Wheeler left the class early when Dr. Stokes informed them that the lesson that day involved nothing more than that. 2 HR 1:26, et sequa. If there was any interruption of her class, it was momentary and inconsequential. 25. Dr. Stokes argued that any interruption “by someone in a suit” disturbed the students’ concentration in the class. 2 HR 1:26, et sequa. The Hearing Officer finds that in her testimony, Dr. Stokes exaggerated the effect Dr. Shaw and Dr. Wheeler’s late arrival had on the class. 26. Sometime shortly after the class observation, Dr. Stokes told Dr. Shaw in conversation “don’t come back to my class.” Dr. Shaw credibly denied that Dr. Stokes did not merely tell her not to arrive late to her class during subsequent observations. Dr. Shaw was adamant that Dr. Stokes told Dr. Shaw not to return to the class at all. 1 HR 32:00, 1:16, 1:38:30, ===== PAGE 392 ===== et sequa. Dr. Stokes' assertion that she knows she told Dr. Shaw to return was not credible. See 2 HR 1:28, et sequa. 27. After Dr. Stokes told Dr. Shaw not to return to the class, Dr. Shaw did not respond that it was her job to perform another observation and that she would be returning. Dr. Shaw thought the situation was so fraught with hostility, tension, and anxiety that time needed to elapse before attempting to find a solution. 1 HR 1:32, et sequa. 28. After Dr. Stokes told Dr. Shaw that she should not return to her class, Dr. Shaw reported this fact to then-President Burse. Dr. Shaw did this as a part of a general report about the implementation of the accelerated learning program. 1 HR 33:25. 29. Dr. Shaw intended to formally write Dr. Stokes about what she observed in Dr. Stokes' class, but she did not have a chance to do so because Dr. Burse asked Dr. Shaw to relate her observations orally during a meeting with Dr. Stokes on October 15, 2015. This meeting is described more fully below. 30. At the end of the October 15, 2015, meeting, Dr. Stokes did say to Dr. Shaw, "next time... please do not interrupt my class ten minutes into the class and ask whether you can come in." HE 16, page 31. But this meeting was not about Dr. Shaw's class observations. The meeting concerned whether a student, MS, should be allowed to return to Dr. Stokes' class after he made what Dr. Stokes alleged was a threat. At this point near the end of the meeting, the administration personnel were suggesting that Dr. Stokes' teaching style may have caused her to lose control of the class. HE 16, pages 28–31. The Hearing Officer interprets Dr. Stokes' statement as timid but continuing criticism of Dr. Shaw in response to Dr. Shaw's critique of Dr. Stokes' teaching style. When she made this comment, Dr. Stokes was not specifically rejecting ===== PAGE 393 ===== that she told Dr. Shaw not to return to her class. In fact, during the October 15, 2015, meeting, Dr. Stokes never specifically denied that she told Dr. Shaw and Dr. Wheeler not to return to her class. 31. Because she could not return to Dr. Stokes' English class, Dr. Shaw was not able to gather information to improve the faculty's implementation of the accelerated learning program in Dr. Stokes' classes. 1 HR 48:30, et sequa. 32. Dr. April Fallon, another KSU English professor called as a witness for Dr. Stokes, wrote to Dr. Shaw during this time complaining about the implementation of the accelerated learning program. HE 5. In her letter, Dr. Fallon criticizes Dr. Shaw for observing her class. Dr. Fallon alleged that "class observations are performed by one's peers within their field of expertise. It is unprecedented at KSU to be observed by a third party administrator." Id. To justify this complaint, in her letter Dr. Fallon cited the KSU Faculty Handbook Policy on Evaluation, Section 2.5.2, and Appendix I under the Comprehensive Evaluation System. Id. Dr. Fallon made this same unsupported allegation in her testimony. Neither party introduced this policy into the evidentiary record. 33. Dr. Stokes similarly testified that a KSU faculty handbook policy was violated when Dr. Shaw and Dr. Wheeler observed her class. But Dr. Stokes likewise could not cite a specific faculty handbook policy that supported her assertion. 2 HR 1:34. 34. During the hearing, the Hearing Officer asked the Petitioner's counsel to file a copy of the handbook policy that supported Dr. Stokes' contention that Dr. Shaw's observation of her class violated university policy. Then, in a post-hearing order, the Hearing Officer ordered the parties to "file in the record copies of all the relevant pages from the Faculty ===== PAGE 394 ===== Handbook that bear on the issue of administration observations of faculty classroom teaching." Dr. Stokes filed nothing in the record in response to this order. 35. Dr. Shaw testified that the Faculty Handbook had a policy concerning the protocol for evaluating teachers for tenure promotion and the like. Dr. Shaw said that gathering data to implement a teaching method to benefit students—in this case, to implement the accelerated learning program—was not covered by that evaluation protocol. 1 HR 1:16:30, et sequa. Dr. Stokes offered no substantial evidence to contradict this assertion. 36. The Hearing Officer infers from the Petitioner's failure to introduce a KSU policy concerning observations of faculty that no university policy prevented Dr. Shaw and Dr. Wheeler from observing Dr. Stokes' class to assess how she was implementing the accelerated program. 37. The Hearing Officer finds Dr. Shaw's and Dr. Wheeler's observation of Dr. Stokes' class was not part of the evaluation protocol for tenured teachers. The Hearing Officer finds their observation of Dr. Stokes' class was a part of the implementation of the accelerated learning program. 38. Furthermore, no substantial evidence indicates Dr. Shaw's and Dr. Wheeler's observation was otherwise inappropriate. 39. By telling Dr. Shaw and Dr. Wheeler that they could not return to her class to observe her teaching, Dr. Stokes failed to respect the rights of all campus members to pursue their academic and administrative responsibilities, and in doing so, she violated Section 2.9.2(a) of the KSU Faculty Handbook governing “Faculty Responsibilities.” ===== PAGE 395 ===== ### 40. Charge 2 of the April 22, 2016, Notification of Charges states as follows: Dr. Stokes removed students from her class and excluded students from her class without due process. Dr. Stokes accused four students of academic violations during Fall Semester 2015 and then prevented them from attending her class. However, those students have the right to attend class while the accusations were being reviewed upon appeal [See KSU Student Handbook, Section on Standards Governing Student Conduct]. Dr. Stokes's failure to abide by this policy constitutes a neglect or refusal to perform her duties, which is cause for termination under KRS 164.360(3). HE 1. 41. Concerning Charge 2 quoted above, The Standards Governing Student Conduct section of the KSU Student Handbook states, ### Section 1. Academic Honesty The University expects that students will conduct themselves with honesty and integrity. ## Academic Offenses 2. Plagarism is the act of submitting the work of another as one's own. It includes the submission of the complete or partial work, or of the words, ideas, or format of another, published or unpublished, without appropriate reference and source credit. It includes employing or permitting another person to produce, alter, or revise material which the student submits as his or her own. If the student has any uncertainty regarding plagiarism in the submission of any material to his or her instructor, he or she should discuss the matter with the instructor prior to the submission of the material. ===== PAGE 396 ===== ### B. Sanctions for Academic Offenses One or more of the following sanctions may be applied to a student guilty of the commission of an academic offense: 1. Assignment of any grade on a paper, examination, or other material related to the offense. 2. Assignment of any grade for the course in which the offense occurred. 3. Forced withdrawal from the class in which the offense occurred. 4. Suspension from the University for a specified period of time. Suspension includes exclusion from all classes, termination of student status and all related privileges and activities. A student who violates any of the terms of suspension shall be subject to further discipline in the form of permanent dismissal. 5. Dismissal from the University: After review and approval of the University President, this sanction is final. ### C. Disposition of Cases of Academic Offenses Responsibility of the Instructor: An instructor who has evidence that a student has committed an academic offense shall attempt to arrange a personal conference with the student to present the evidence of the offense, to give the student the opportunity to state his/her case, and to make known to the student the charges and possible sanctions which may be imposed or recommended. If the student is not available for or fails to attend such conference, the instructor shall proceed to inform the student of the nature of the evidence, the charges and the possible sanctions by certified mail, with copies to the Chairperson and Dean of the college in which the offense occurred and that Dean of the college in which the student is enrolled. The instructor may then proceed to assign any grade on a paper or examination related to the offense, assign any grade for the course in which the offense occurred, or recommend to his or her Chairperson a more severe sanction. ===== PAGE 397 ===== Responsibility of the Chairperson: After reviewing the report from the instructor in making any appropriate investigation, the Chairperson will forward the materials, along with his or her own recommendation to the Dean of the college in which the offense occurred. Responsibility of the Dean: After reviewing the material furnished in conducting an appropriate investigation, the Dean of the college in which the offense occurred will forward the material along with recommendation for suspension or dismissal to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. If the sanction is forced withdrawal from the course, the Dean of the college in which the student is enrolled will take action to implement the withdrawal and will notify the student by certified mail. Copies of the notice will be sent to the instructor and Chairperson of the department and the Dean of the college in which the offense occurred and to the Registrar. Responsibility of the Academic Vice President: After reviewing the file and conducting any appropriate investigation, the Vice President shall forward the file, along with his or her recommendation to the Vice President for Student Affairs, who will in turn forward the case to the All-University Court for processing according to the standard procedure of that court. ### D. Right of the Student to Appeal 1. The student shall have the right to appeal the allegation of his or her guilt to each higher level of authority and where appropriate (in cases of suspension or expulsion) to the All-University Court. 2. The assignment of a grade by the instructor on a paper or examination involved in the offense shall not be subject to appeal. 3. The student shall have the right of class attendance and participation until a decision is made on his/her appeal. Section 3. Offenses Against Persons ===== PAGE 398 =====

## GENERAL CONDUCT PROCEEDINGS Given the nature of University conduct proceedings: (including, but not limited to, Administrative Hearings, Student Court, and All-University Court hearings), the testimony of, and information derived from experts, such as reports of handwriting experts, are not admissible and will not be considered, except in rare circumstances. In those rare cases, determinations as to the admissibility of testimony of or evidence derived from an expert will be made in the sole discretion of the Vice President for Student Affairs or designee, General Counsel, and the University President.... The accused may choose a Kentucky State University faculty, staff, or student advisor who is not related to the accused, and who has not had formal legal training, to accompany him or her during the hearing. The advisor may not address the administrative hearing officer nor the conduct counsel, but may consult with the accused student during the hearing. No person who has a substantial interest in the case, or in a related case as an accused student or advisor to an accused student, may serve as an advisor. Persons conducting the hearing and considering statements against the accused (for example, statements in the student's file), must advise the accused of the content of the statements and give the student an opportunity to rebut inferences that might be drawn. The accused may present testimony and make arguments not only with regard to the offense but also with regard to the excuse, justification, etc. HE3. 42. Dr. Stokes argues that the charge of denying students their due process rights “arises from a two-prong allegation.”5 The Petitioner claims a student, MS, was involved in both a “classroom safety incident” and an “alleged plagiarism incident.” This argument is legally incorrect and factually disingenuous. Not only is “Charge 2” in KSU’s April 22, 2016, charging document only about students’ allegedly committing the academic offense of ===== PAGE 399 ===== ## O ## O plagiarism, but the facts show the “classroom safety incident” involving the student was resolved to Dr. Stokes’ satisfaction before she barred the same student, as well as other students, from entering her classroom. 43. For the reasons that follow, the Hearing Officer finds that Dr. Stokes wanted to have MS barred from her class primarily because she thought he was disruptive. When her complaint about a discrete incident involving MS's alleged threatening behavior did not result in his expulsion from KSU, she ignored the university's due process requirements regarding the student's alleged plagiarism and refused to allow him to continue in her class. 44. The alleged “classroom safety incident” involved the same English class that, in September, Dr. Shaw and Dr. Wheeler observed. See HE 14 and HE 16, page 28. 45. On Tuesday, October 6, 2015, Dr. Stokes orally reported to Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs, Christopher Cribbs, and Dr. Erin Wheeler, that a student, MS, made what she interpreted as a threatening gesture and statement. Dr. Stokes reported that at the end of or immediately after one class, she heard MS announce that he was “sick.” Dr. Stokes says she asked if he was “contagious.” He said, “I’m sick in the head” and then he made gun-pointing gestures at another student while making sounds like bullets ricocheting while he said, “I’m a fuck shit up.” See Stokes’ email to “Lorna” dated 10/8/15, attached to HE 14. 46. Based on MS’s statements, Dr. Stokes converted the class from live teaching to an online format to “protect herself and her students.” See HE 7, page 2. 47. On Thursday, October 8, 2015, Dr. Stokes wrote Dr. Shaw an email about the incident saying, “I find this behavior especially disturbing given the recent murders in an English class at a community college.” HE 14, page 3. ===== PAGE 400 ===== 48. Then on Friday, October 9, 2015, at 10:47 AM, Dr. Stokes wrote Assistant Vice President Cribbs and gave him her cell phone number. Mr. Cribbs wrote her back at 10:57 AM and said he would call her back with “classroom recommendations.” Dr. Stokes responded at 11:16 AM, “So does this mean the student will be attending the class in the future?” Mr. Cribbs wrote back at 11:43 AM, “I will call you today on a recommendation going forward.” HE 14, pages 1 and 2. Vice President Cribbs apparently called Dr. Stokes that afternoon and told her MS had been informed not to return to her class the following week. HE 15. 49. On Monday, October 12, 2015, Academic Counselor, Travis Haskins Sr. wrote Dr. Stokes as well as MS's other professors saying, MS is not to be permitted into your class until further notice, all assignments should be placed on black board and a copy of the assignment should be made available to me as well. I will be working with MS one-on-one for the rest of the week until I am instructed to do otherwise. It is very important that we take care of this today so that MS does not loose (sic) valuable instruction time. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. HE 7, page 3. 50. On that same Monday, October 12, 2015, Dr. Stokes wrote Mr. Haskins and said, As far as MS's losing valuable class time, that is another issue. MS himself, along with CT and AR, has (sic) caused the other students, those who are not loud and disruptive, to lose valuable class time. I've never had students this disruptive. I cannot get them to be quiet and/or to stop walking into and out of class repeatedly. They are like a perfect storm of disrupters (sic). Also, MS's first essay turned out to have been 100% copied word for word from three online sources.... ===== PAGE 401 ===== One of the penalties for academic dishonesty listed in the Student Handbook is removal from the course. I would like MS to be removed from ENG 101-13. HE 7, page 2 (emphasis in original). 51. On Thursday, October 15, 2015, Dr. Stokes met with Dr. Shaw, Dr. Wheeler, Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Lynda Brown-Wright, and President Burse. Dr. Stokes recorded the meeting (as well as a brief period before the meeting) and made a transcript of the recording for the evidence at the hearing. After she entered the meeting room, Dr. Stokes did not announce to the participants that she was recording the meeting. See HE 16. 52. Even before the meeting started, Dr. Stokes was recorded speculating that the meeting might be about her ability to control her class. She said, “if I don’t have the power to take some people who . . . won’t be quiet . . . and just say, ‘look, don’t come back,’ I’m not going to be able to control a class.” HE 16, page 2. 53. Before Dr. Burse arrived at the meeting, Dr. Stokes demanded to know “what’s been done to keep my students safe in class when we come back to class . . . because I just got an email that . . . MS’s expulsion . . . was a suspension . . . [and] it hasn’t been explained to me . . what’s been going on.” HE 16, page 4. 54. After Dr. Burse arrived at the meeting, he explained that MS had been “assessed by a professional whether he is a threat.” HE 16, page 25. Dr. Burse also said he met with the student and his father. President Burse also told Dr. Stokes that the university required that MS meet with her and “explain what he was doing was completely out of line”; that MS attend “weekly counseling sessions to make certain that he is back on track”; and that MS meet with Assistant Vice President Cribbs “on a regular basis to make certain that he is back on track.” HE ===== PAGE 402 =====

O
## O 16, page 33. President Burse also said the university imposed additional disciplinary conditions "because his conduct was completely, totally unacceptable." Id. Dr. Stokes twice says President Burse gave her the information she "wanted to know." Id. at pages 33 and 34. When President Burse asked her, "Is there anything else that you need?", she did not say she needed anything else. Id. at page 34. Then when Dr. Shaw asked Dr. Stokes at the end of the meeting whether she was comfortable with starting her class on Monday, Dr. Stokes said, "Yeah, actually, yeah." Id., page 34. 55. Based on her own evidence, Dr. Stokes' claim in her Post-Hearing Argument that KSU “dismissed [the seriousness of] the threat of a student”6 is plainly false from the transcript quotes above and from Travis Haskins's email of October 12, 2015. Not only has the Petitioner sought to confuse the issues and divert attention from her own behavior, her own description of the “classroom safety incident” makes one wonder whether she exaggerated the danger posed by the student in the first place. Nevertheless, KSU responded appropriately and the so-called “classroom safety incident” was resolved. 56. Reviewing the transcript of the October 15, 2015, meeting, it is apparent that Dr. Stokes carefully avoided saying she was going to allow MS back into her class, although any reasonable person would have thought she had agreed to do so. This is another example of Dr. Stokes' resistant, uncooperative behavior. 57. During the October 15, 2015, meeting, Dr. Stokes said MS “has many reasons not to come back [to my class].... [H]e plagiarized 100% of the first essay and I sent that to his advisor who is Travis Haskins.” Dr. Stokes also acknowledged in the meeting that she knew her ===== PAGE 403 ===== ## O

options concerning MS’s alleged plagiarism were limited to giving him an F on the paper but “then it would require somebody else—an administrative [person]—for him to be removed from the class.” HE 16, pages 7 and 9. 58. In hindsight, it also is obvious that in Dr. Stokes' mind, the meeting did not resolve the issue of MS's alleged plagiarism. 59. Despite her acknowledgement during the October 15, 2015, meeting, on October 19, 2015, Dr. Stokes barred from her class MS and three other students who all allegedly plagiarized their first assignment. She told them all “not to come to her class.” See 1 HR 1:44. 60. The Petitioner now argues she “never asked the student [MS] to leave [her class].” She now says “the decision to remove the student [MS] from her classroom was made by Administration, not [her].”7 This revisionist version of the facts is not supported by the evidence. 61. When the four students who allegedly plagiarized their first assignment, showed up for the next class, Dr. Stokes testified she merely told them they would receive an “F” for the class. 2 HR 2:07:30. Regardless of the words she used, the effect was to convey to them “there is no need to return to my class because you will receive an “F” for the course.” 62. For the reasons that follow, this statement to the students does not comport with their rights under the Student Handbook, which gave them the right to appeal her recommendation that they receive an "F" for the whole course and to attend her class during their appeal. 63. A careful examination of the language in the Student Handbook makes clear the students in this case had a right to continue attending Dr. Stokes' class while they appealed her ===== PAGE 404 =====
O
## O “F for the class.” As quoted above, the Student Handbook, Sec. 1(C)(1), grants the instructor the right to “assign any grade on a paper or examination related to the offense, assign any grade for the course in which the offense occurred, or recommend to his or her Chairperson a more severe sanction.” HE 3. Sec. 1(D)(2), states that “[t]he assignment of a grade by the instructor on a paper or examination involved in the offense shall not be subject to appeal.” This is the only penalty students cannot appeal according to Sec. 1(D), the Right of Student to Appeal section. HE 3. The implication is that the student is able to appeal a faculty member’s recommendation that the student should be assigned a failing grade for the course or that the student should be given a more severe sanction. The Student Handbook, Sec. 1(D)(3), goes on to say that “[t]he student shall have the right of class attendance and participation until a decision is made on his/her appeal.” HE 3. 64. Whatever words Dr. Stokes used to deny the four students entry to her class, they immediately went to Assistant Director of Academic Advising, Travis Haskins and reported that Dr. Stokes told them not to return to her class. 1 HR 1:44, et sequa. 65. Assistant Director Haskins immediately walked with three students, including MS, to Dr. Stokes' class. He wanted to explain to Dr. Stokes that the students had the right under the university's procedures to attend class until their appeal was concluded. 1 HR 1:48 and 2:13. Mr. Haskins knew it was important to allow students to continue to attend class until the university appeal process "played out." 1 HR 1:50. 66. When he arrived, Dr. Stokes was talking with a student in the corner. When she saw Assistant Director Haskins, MS, and the other two students, she did not give Mr. Haskins a ===== PAGE 405 ===== chance to explain what he wanted. She told Mr. Haskins in a hostile manner that he and students were not to enter her class. HE 6; and 1 HR 1:48:30, et sequa. 67. Again, in an attempt to confuse the issues both legally and factually, Dr. Stokes makes two fallacious arguments. First, she argues that “[n]ot only did [Mr. Haskins’] visit disturb the chemistry of the class, but he brought with him the student who threatened to shoot up the class. There is no wonder why the Petitioner was upset over Haskins’ appearance.”8 She argues that she had a right to bar MS from her class based on the Student Handbook provisions concerning Standards Governing Student Conduct.9 But Dr. Stokes stated at the end of the October 15, 2015, meeting, that the “classroom safety incident” involving MS was resolved. HE 16, page 34. 68. Furthermore, even if she were correct that the “classroom safety incident” involving MS was not resolved in that meeting, she barred from her classroom the other three students involved in the alleged plagiarism who were not involved in the “classroom safety incident.” She gave no explanation for this unjustified action. 69. Second, Dr. Stokes also now asserts that KSU did not prove Charge 2 because “there was no proof that any student accused of plagiarism . . . ever initiated an appeal.” She asserts that “the sole trigger to bring a student’s due process rights into play is a formal request for an appeal.”10 ===== PAGE 406 ===== ## O ## O 70. Clearly, by asking Mr. Haskins' to help them re-enter Dr. Stokes' class, all four students indicated they wanted to appeal Dr. Stokes' disciplinary action. Dr. Stokes has not offered any evidence that the students were required to file a formal appeal in writing. 71. Further, Dr. Stokes also admitted in her testimony that she did not follow the procedures “to the letter” that are set forth in the Student Handbook regarding the “Responsibility of the Instructor” to notify the student and administration of a student’s academic offenses. 2 HR 2:35. It is disingenuous at the least for Dr. Stokes to argue now that KSU offered no proof that the students appealed her recommendation of an “F” for the course. 72. This is a further example of Dr. Stokes obfuscating the issues and attempting to avoid responsibility for her actions. It is also another example of Dr. Stokes acting as if she could unilaterally control access to her classroom. 73. By barring four students from her class while they appealed the “F” she gave them for the entire class, Dr. Stokes violated the student’s right to due process under the Standards Governing Student Conduct section of the KSU Student Handbook, Section 1(D)(3). Offensive Communication with Academic Counselor Travis Haskins 74. Charge 4 of the April 22, 2016, Notification of Charges states as follows: On October 20, 2015, academic counselor Travis Haskins reported to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Lynda Brown-Wright, that Dr. Stokes spoke to him in an offensive manner regarding an incident that occurred the previous day in relation to one of her classes and threatened to have him removed by the police if he returned to her class again. Section 2.9.2(b) (sic) of the KSU Faculty Handbook requires faculty members to "act with propriety in all dealings with members of the University community." The actions of Dr. Stokes in this incident constitute a neglect or refusal to perform her duty to act with propriety in dealing with Mr. Haskins, which is cause for termination under KRS 164.360(3). ===== PAGE 407 ===== ○ ○ ○

HE 1.
75. The wrong section in the Faculty Handbook is cited for Charge 4 quoted above in the Notification of Charges. The section cited, Section 2.9.2(b) of the KSU Faculty Handbook governing “Faculty Responsibilities,” states, “[Faculty members] shall respect the rights of all campus members to free and orderly expression.” HE 2, p. 2 - 38. The correct section for Charge 4 is Section 2.9.2(c) of the KSU Faculty Handbook, which states, “[Faculty members] shall act with propriety in all dealings with members of the University community.” HE 2, p. 2 - 38. The language of the correct section is actually what is quoted in the Notification of Charges. 76. When Mr. Haskins returned to his office after his encounter with Dr. Stokes at her classroom on October 19, 2015, Dr. Stokes called him on the phone and told him he “didn’t have her back,” and if he returned to her class with the students, that she would “call the police and have you removed.” HE 6; and 1 HR 1:51 and 2:10. 77. In her testimony, Dr. Stokes claimed she did not know Assistant Director Haskins by sight, implying she did not realize she was speaking to a KSU administration individual. 2 HR 1:40:30. First, he is the same individual with whom Dr. Stokes had exchanged emails on October 12, 2015, about the “classroom safety incident” involving MS. See HE 7. And regardless of whether or not she immediately recognized him when he looked into her classroom, she admitted on cross examination that she went into the hall with him whereupon he identified himself. 2 HR 2:16. Thus, she obviously knew he was a KSU administration official when she called him on the phone. ===== PAGE 408 =====
Image
## O 78. Dr. Stokes admitted in her testimony that she called Mr. Haskins and in anger told him if he returned to her class she would call the police and have him removed. 2 HR 1:39 and 2:16. 79. By speaking to Travis Haskins, a KSU administrator, in a demeaning, hostile, abusive manner, Dr. Stokes failed to act with propriety in all dealings with members of the University community, and in doing so, she violated Section 2.9.2(c) of the KSU Faculty Handbook. ### Dr. Stokes' Refusal to Accommodate a Disabled Student 80. Charge 1 of the April 22, 2016, Notification of Charges states as follows. Dr. Stokes refused to offer an accommodation for a student with a disability, even though that disability could have been reasonably accommodated. Section 2.9.2(j) of the KSU Faculty Handbook prohibits faculty members from discriminating against any person on the basis of disability. Dr. Stokes's denial of the requested accommodation for this student's disability was discriminatory and constituted neglect or refusal to perform her duty to offer instruction without respect to a student's disability, which is cause for termination under KRS 164.360(3). 81. Concerning Charge 1 quoted above, Section 2.9.2(j) of the KSU Faculty Handbook governing “Faculty Responsibilities” states, “Faculty members in the conduct of their University activities shall not engage in any act of discrimination on the basis of . . . disability . .” HE 2, p. 2-39. 82. In January 2016, a KSU student, PW, was assigned by a KSU counselor to Dr. Stokes' English 101 class. PW had met with staff in the KSU Disability Resource Center and had written down his needs based on his disabilities. 1 HR 21:30. ===== PAGE 409 ===== 83. PW's disabilities were not new. He had those disabilities while in high school in Florida, where he graduated in May 2013. KSU had accepted him as a student knowing he had learning disabilities. He described those disabilities as an inability to focus in some environments. His disabilities were observable in the slowness of his responses during his testimony. 84. Based on his disabilities, PW requested two accommodations: a note-taker to take notes during his classes; and additional time to take his exams. 1 HR 11:30, et sequa. The note-taker allowed him to review at his leisure after class the notes of the teacher's lesson. The additional time to take his exams allowed him to overcome his slower pace of processing information, which presumably included processing test questions. 85. PW's requests for accommodation were reasonable. 86. Dr. Stokes admitted in her testimony that she received an email from the KSU Assistant Director for Human Resources for Disability Services, Dr. Lloyd Clark, informing her that PW had learning disabilities. 2 HR 2:01:30. By email dated January 20, 2016, at 1:04 PM, Dr. Clark notified Dr. Stokes as well as other faculty of the accommodations that KSU faculty were required to provide PW. HE 11, page 2. 87. On the same day at 3:42 PM, Dr. Stokes responded to Dr. Clark's e-mail say I'm not certain I can accommodate this student in my ENG 101 section. 1. We do not take in-class exams as such, but we write in class every day, and often with a time constraint -- say, we'll spend 10 minutes writing and then we will share what we've written or otherwise work with what we've produced at this moment. 2. The classroom environment we do these in-class exercises and is not low distraction. Today, for example, I had the students write some facts about themselves, and then I had them interview each other about these facts. It was not a quiet environment. This kind if (sic) hands-on active in- ===== PAGE 410 ===== class exercise will happen more often than not. 3. I myself do not work from notes, so a note-taker would be required. Id. 88. Dr. Stokes testified incorrectly that no one told her to accommodate PW after she refused to do so. 2 HR 42:50. In fact, Dr. Clark responded on the same day at 4:16 PM to Dr. Stokes' January 20, 2016, email advising her to find a way to accommodate PW. Dr. Clark says, Thank you for this feedback. Hopefully, we can find a way to accommodate [PW] in your class. Let's see how he does with the class writings and follow-up. We are required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to provide reasonable accommodations for students who qualify for disability services. While it doesn't appear that the traditional accommodations such as extended time and distraction free will apply in your class, we can brainstorm to see if other accommodations might be more appropriate. Also, we will identify a note taker for him in your class. Please let me know if you have any questions. Id. (emphasis added). 89. On the same day, January 20, 2016, at 12:40 PM, PW emailed Dr. Stokes and said he had “many concerns to address with you.” HE 12. Dr. Stokes responded at 3:54 PM saying, if his concerns were about accommodations, that she had just emailed Dr. Clark about “major elements of the way my section of ENG 101 is run that make it not a good fit for you.” Id. She then repeated the three numbered statements she made in her email to Dr. Clark, which are quoted above. Then Dr. Stokes told PW, “These sound like they might be major obstacles.” Id. 90. PW emailed Dr. Stokes back saying, The only concern would be I need a note taker to take my notes so I can better focus on what you are teaching. I can deal with the noise. If I have any questions I will contact you via email." ===== PAGE 411 ===== Id. 91. In other words, in his email to Dr. Stokes, PW said he could accept the way Dr. Stokes taught her class. Additionally, as indicated above, Dr. Clark told Dr. Stokes she would find PW a note taker for the class. 92. Nevertheless, on January 21, 2016, at 10:06 AM, Dr. Stokes replied to PW saying: Your official request for accommodations contains three items. I cannot alter my course delivery method to accommodate any of these three: 1. "Extended time on exams (time and a half)." The writing activities must be done within a certain amount of time for the class to progress. We will be doing some version of "answer this question in writing for ten minutes" and then move on to a breakout session, a small group discussion, or another activity that builds on the writing and that depends on its being completed in ten minutes. 2. "Testing in a low distraction environment (ORC, ACE, professor's office). Student should schedule place of exam at least one week in advance." The time to-writing activities create a noisy classroom. Most of these activities require students to talk in groups. 3. "Notetakers or detailed notes from instructors." This course is not a lecture course, a course that uses a variety of hands-on activities to engage students according to visual, auditory, and kinesthetic as well as timed-writing-in-class activities. Therefore a note-taker will be useless in it. Each student has to produce his own writing on the spot. He has to take his own notes -- processing material in writing, in his own words, is crucial to learning. I do these noisy and timed-writing activities, a LOT of them, every class., To engage students and to keep them engaged. These aspects of the way I teach the course will not be altered. HE 13 (emphasis in original). 93. When PW showed up for Dr. Stokes' class on January 21, 2016, he provided her ===== PAGE 412 ===== ## O ## O with the paperwork that indicated the Disability Resource Center had approved his accommodation requests. Dr. Stokes told PW that she would not be able to provide the accommodations he requested. 1 HR 13:00. She told him, "I really don't think you'll be able to pass my class. You'll have to drop the course." 1 HR 21:30, et sequa; see also HE 4. In other words, Dr. Stokes denied PW access to her class despite the fact that PW accepted her class format, and despite the fact that Dr. Clark told her to "see how he does with the in class writings and follow-up" and also told her the university was "required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to provide reasonable accommodations for students who qualify for disability services." 94. On January 21, 2016, at 3:38 PM, PW wrote KSU Vice-President for Academic Affairs, Lynda Brown-Wright, copying various other KSU personnel, including then-President Raymond Burse, and said, I am contacting you to be proactive about my ENG 101 class. I contacted Professor Stokes and submitted my letter of accommodation for my disability. As you can see [in] the note below11, she is not willing to assist me with providing extra time in class to take the tests. Please advise me on how I should deal with this matter. HE 4. 95. The Disability Resource Center saw to it that PW was transferred to another faculty member's ENG 101class. PW successfully passed that class with a B grade. No evidence explained how PW was able to pass another English 101 class or how the teaching methods in that class differed from Dr. Stokes' teaching methods. The inference is that Dr. ===== PAGE 413 ===== ## O Stokes' assertion that she could not provide reasonable accommodation to PW was unfounded, and the Hearing Officer so finds. 96. It is also noted that PW graduated in December 2017 with a BA in physical education. Obviously, his disabilities were accommodated in all his other classes. 97. During her testimony, Dr. Stokes testified that she thought KSU, not she, was responsible for accommodating PW. 2 HR 38:00 and 2:03:30. Given the direction to faculty in the Faculty Handbook that they “shall not engage in any act of discrimination based on disability,” Dr. Stokes’ feigned ignorance of her responsibility is not credible. 98. No evidence showed Dr. Stokes made any effort to accommodate PW. 99. This is a further example of Dr. Stokes acting as if she had autonomous control of access to her classes. 100. By failing to grant a student's request for reasonable accommodations for his learning disabilities, Dr. Stokes engaged in an act of discrimination based on disability, and in doing so, she violated Section 2.9.2(j) of the KSU Faculty Handbook. ## Other Applicable Faculty Handbook Provisions 101. The Petitioner argues Dr. Stokes will be entitled to back pay even if the Board of Regents upholds her termination. Section 2.8 of the KSU Faculty Handbook governing "Separation from the University," contains two provisions relevant to the Petitioner's argument. 102. The first relevant provision appears under Subsection 2.8.4, titled “Suspension,” which states, Suspension is temporary denial of employment with or without pay until the Board of Regents can give full consideration to the charges leading to suspension. . . . Suspension for any period greater than five days must be approved by the president. Whether such suspension is with or without ===== PAGE 414 ===== pay shall be determined by the person issuing such suspension based on a review of all the facts. A faculty member shall have the right to appeal the suspension through normal channels. HE 10. 103. The second relevant provision appears under Subsection 2.8.5.1, titled “Discharge for Cause,” which states, A tenured . . . faculty member . . . may be removed for cause as provided by KRS 164.360 (see below). Termination of appointment for adequate cause shall be related to the behavior and performance of the faculty in his/her professional capacity. This refers to such matters as unethical and immoral conduct, incompetence, failure to perform reasonable assignments, or for neglect of duty. Appeals of termination of tenured faculty for adequate cause shall be made in accordance with University grievance procedures. The section of KRS 164.360 relating to the removal of faculty reads as follows: "Each board may remove the president of the university or Kentucky Community and Technical College System, and upon the recommendation of the president may remove any faculty member or employees, but no president or faculty member shall be removed except for incompetency, neglect of or refusal to perform his duty, or for immoral conduct. A president or faculty member shall not be removed until after ten (10) days' notice in writing, stating the nature of the charges preferred, and after an opportunity has been given him to make defense before the board by counsel or otherwise and to introduce testimony which shall be heard and determined by the board. Charges against a president shall be preferred by the chairperson of the board upon written information furnished to him, and charges against a faculty member shall be preferred in writing by the president unless the offense is committed in his presence." HE 10. ===== PAGE 415 ===== 104. The Faculty Handbook section concerning Grievances also contains provisions relevant to the Petitioner's argument that KSU should pay her back pay through the date of the Board of Regent's final order.12 Those provisions, which are discussed in the Conclusions of Law, state as follows: ## GRIEVANCES ・・・・・・ ## Types of Grievances a. Grievances which could be lodged by a faculty member against other parties (faculty, staff, administrators, and/or students) include, but are not limited to, inequities in assigned duties, violations of academic freedom (see section 2.9.1), or any of the complaints listed below which are suffered by a faculty member. Generally, routine decisions and/or actions of Deans, Directors, Chairpersons, and other administrators which are in accord with published University policy are not grievable offenses. However, if these decisions and/or actions are discriminatory or unfair in nature, they are grievable offenses. This particularly includes decisions and/or actions that cause professional harm or personal hardship to a faculty member. b. Grievances which may be filed against a faculty member include deviations from expected professional behavior (as outlined in the section on Faculty Responsibilities in the Faculty Handbook and/or below) and/or charges regarding the violations of law. Generally, routine decisions and/or actions of faculty members that are in accord with published University policy are not grievable offenses. c. Examples of grievances involving unacceptable professional behaviors which could be lodged against a faculty member by other parties (faculty, staff, administrators, and/or students) include, but are not limited to, plagiarism; ===== PAGE 416 ===== violations of academic freedom, unfairness and/or inconsistency in the evaluation of a student, staff member, or a colleague; discrimination as a factor in the learning process; sexual harassment (See Appendix B); misuse of faculty status to promote personal gain or other causes related to instruction; and neglect of University service assignments and professional duties. In addition to grievances related to internal matters within the University, grievances may involve violations of law. In such cases, the University may proceed with disciplinary actions and impose University sanctions independently or any legal proceedings and legal sanctions regarding violations of law. ## Penalties a. At any level of the grievance procedure, the person(s) involved in deciding upon resolution of the grievance may recommend penalties. Except as specified elsewhere, no penalties may be enforced until all of the parties involved in the dispute have had the opportunity to complete the entire grievance process. b. Penalties which may be enforced: 1. A warning that the conduct violates the professional responsibilities of the faculty member, with copies to the Chairperson (if applicable), Dean, and Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs for inclusion in the personnel file of the individual against whom penalties are enforced. 2. A reprimand, with copies to the Chairperson (if applicable) Dean, and Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs for inclusion in the personnel file of the individual against who sanctions are imposed. 3. Suspension without pay for a period not to exceed one year. 4. Change in assignment, subject to the condition that the new assignment will involve duties consistent with the duties of the other faculty members with the same academic rank. Such a change might involve removal from a supervisory role or the elimination of special privileges associated with the previous assignment. 5. Reduction in rate of pay. ===== PAGE 417 ===== 6. Forfeiture of pay from present salary for actual monetary damage suffered by the University through unauthorized use of University property. 7. Proceedings under KRS 164.230 for dismissal for reasons of “incompetence, neglect of or refusal to perform his/her duty, or immoral conduct.” ## CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. The administrative hearing in this matter was conducted under the authority of KRS 164.360(3), which states, “Each board [of regents of a university] . . . upon the recommendation of the president may remove any faculty member . . . A . . faculty member shall not be removed until after ten (10) days' notice in writing, stating the nature of the charges preferred, and after an opportunity has been given him to make defense before the board by counsel or otherwise and to introduce testimony which shall be heard and determined by the board.” 2. The Kentucky State University president issued charges against the Petitioner, Dr. Karah Stokes, in the April 22, 2016, Charge Supporting the Termination and Removal of Karah Stokes. HE 1. That document sets forth four separate incidents that KSU claims each support her removal from the KSU faculty under KRS 164.360(3). 3. A hearing was held as required after due notice to the Petitioner of the charges against her. The Petitioner was given an opportunity to make a defense both by introducing evidence at the hearing and by making argument in a post-hearing brief. 4. The parties agreed that the administrative hearing and any appeal from the final order of the Board of Regents would be governed by the procedures set forth in KRS Chapter 13B. ===== PAGE 418 =====
Image
## O 5. The parties also agreed that the evidentiary hearing in this case would be conducted and heard by a hearing officer from the Office of the Attorney General, Administrative Hearings Branch, sitting alone, and that the hearing officer would make a recommendation to the KSU Board of Regents by issuing a recommended order that conforms to KRS 13B.110. 6. The law concerning the termination of a faculty member of a university is set forth in KRS 164.360(3), which states, “no . . . faculty member shall be removed except for incompetency, neglect of or refusal to perform his duty, or for immoral conduct.” 7. Besides denying the factual allegations underlying all the charges themselves, Dr. Stokes specifically argues concerning Charge 1 that she cannot be required to “change her curriculum to accommodate a student with a disability.” 8. Concerning the termination of her contract, Dr. Stokes makes three arguments: first, that KSU should have followed a policy of “progressive discipline”; second, that she was denied due process because “the hearing was substantially delayed and the Hearing Officer interjected his personal bias into the proceedings”; and third, even if her contract is ultimately terminated, that KSU should pay her salary through the date the Board issues its final order. 9. The statutory basis for the university's termination of Dr. Stokes will be dealt with first, and then the remaining issues will be addressed individually in order. Requirements of KRS 164.360(3) Were Satisfied 10. KSU contends that each of the four charges set forth in the Notification of Charges constitute “neglect or refusal to perform her duties.” See HE 1. ===== PAGE 419 =====
O
## O 11. Based on the findings of fact, KSU proved for each charge that Dr. Stokes failed to perform a faculty member's duty as set forth in the Faculty Handbook or in the Student Handbook. 12. Concerning Charge 3, by failing to respect the rights of all campus members to pursue their academic and administrative responsibilities in violation of Section 2.9.2(a) of the KSU Faculty Handbook, Dr. Stokes neglected or refused to perform her duty, which is grounds for her removal from the faculty under KRS 164.360(3). 13. By denying the administration access to her class, Dr. Stokes' behavior was seriously deficient. KSU was attempting to implement a new program of teaching freshman English for the benefit of its students. The logistics of implementing such a program alone were complicated and difficult. Dr. Stokes openly refused to cooperate with the administration. She acted as if she controlled the administration's access to her classroom, which is obviously incorrect. She openly and intentionally obstructed the administration's efforts. Her actions were uncooperative, rude, and unjustified. Her behavior in this instance alone merited a significant sanction. 14. Concerning Charge 2, by denying students' right to continue in her class during their appeal of her recommendation that they receive an “F” for the course, Dr. Stokes neglected or refused to perform her duty, which is grounds for her removal from the faculty under KRS 164.360(3). 15. Even now, Dr. Stokes attempts to confuse the issues, deny the comments she made to the students, and deny the responsibilities she had under the Student Handbook. Again, she acted as if she controlled access to her classroom, which is obviously incorrect under the ===== PAGE 420 ===== Student Handbook's procedures for dealing with Academic Offenses. She openly and intentionally disregarded the students' rights. Her actions were uncooperative, rude, and unjustified. Her behavior in this instance alone merited a significant sanction. 16. Concerning Charge 4, by telling Mr. Haskins that she would call the police if he returned to her class, Dr. Stokes neglected or refused to perform her duty, which is grounds for her removal from the faculty under KRS 164.360(3). 17. There was no excuse for the way she spoke to Mr. Haskins, and she gave none. Also, her threat to call the police if he returned to her class was not made in the heat of the moment. She called him back after class and made this comment long after her encounter with him outside her classroom. Again, she acted as if she controlled access to her classroom even when an administration official told her otherwise, which is obviously incorrect. Mr. Haskins was merely attempting to carry out his job responsibilities as a liaison between the students and the faculty. She openly and intentionally obstructed Mr. Haskins in the performance of his job. Her actions were uncooperative, rude, and unjustified. Her behavior in this instance alone merited a significant sanction. 18. Concerning Charge 1, by denying PW reasonable accommodation for his learning disability, Dr. Stokes neglected or refused to perform her duty, which is grounds for her removal from the faculty under KRS 164.360(3). 19. Even now, she denies that accommodating PW was her responsibility even though the Faculty Handbook clearly places that responsibility on her. She had no explanation for why she could not accommodate him after he accepted her description of her class format, nor why another teacher was able to successfully accommodate him when she says she could not. Again, ===== PAGE 421 ===== # ○ following a consistent pattern of intransigence, she acted as if she controlled access to her classroom, which is obviously incorrect as to PW, who had a right to attend her class. She openly and intentionally obstructed a KSU administrator's attempt to negotiate a resolution of the situation. Her actions were uncooperative, rude, and unjustified. Her behavior in this instance alone merited a significant sanction. ## Petitioner Was Not Asked to Change Her Class Format to Accommodate Disabled Student 20. Dr. Stokes argues that, “[t]he Supreme Court has ruled that an institution of higher learning does not need to change their curriculum to accommodate a student with a disability.”13 21. Again, Dr. Stokes attempts to confuse the issues. PW did not ask Dr. Stokes to “change her curriculum.” As the facts showed, he accepted the format of her class and requested only that he be afforded a note taker, which Dr. Clark had granted. 22. This argument of Petitioner's is without merit. ## KSU Was Not Required to Impose Progressive Discipline 23. The Petitioner cites non-binding authority, Trimble v. W. Virginia Bd. of Directors, 209 W. Va. 420, 549 S.E.2d 294 (2001), in support of her argument that “a college should not have fired [a tenured professor] before resorting to other progressive disciplinary measures.”14 This only vaguely states the holding of that case. When stated correctly, the case holding is distinguishable on its facts. ===== PAGE 422 ===== ## O ## O 24. In Trimble, decided by the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia, a college professor with 19 years of service and an otherwise unblemished record was fired because he failed to attend meetings regarding the implementation of a computer software program to evaluate students. The professor also refused to prepare his course syllabi using this program. Because the court determined the professor had a protected right to voice concerns about the impact of the program on student learning, the court opined that he was being fired for exercising his First Amendment right. Id. at 426. Citing the West Virginia Constitution, the court held as follows: The prior employment termination decisions of this Court and decisions in other jurisdictions, lead us to our conclusion and result and holding that constitutional due process is denied when a tenured public higher education teacher, who has a previously unblemished record, is immediately terminated for an incident of insubordination that is minor in its consequences. Under such circumstances, due process requires the educational institution to impose progressive disciplinary sanctions in an attempt to correct the teacher's insubordinate conduct before it may resort to termination. W. Va. Const. art. III, § 10. Trimble at 304 (emphasis added). 25. The present case does not involve a single incident of “insubordination that is minor in its consequences.” Dr. Stokes engaged in four instances of seriously deficient behavior: one that impeded the implementation of a new teaching program to benefit freshman at KSU; another that violated students' rights under the Student Handbook; another that was abusive towards a KSU student counselor; and a fourth that discriminated against a disabled student. None of Dr. Stokes' actions involved the exercise of her First Amendment right to express criticism of KSU policy. All of her actions were uncooperative, rude, and unjustified. Together, these behaviors merited termination. ===== PAGE 423 ===== ## O

## O 26. Finally, the Petitioner makes this argument under the heading “KSU Does Not Have a Policy of “Progressive Discipline.” In fact, KSU has a series of progressively more serious sanctions under its grievance policy.15 Under the “Types of Grievances,” subsection a, KSU could have sanctioned Dr. Stokes independently for each incident under the grievance procedure. 27. The question becomes whether KSU should have disciplined Dr. Stokes for each instance of neglect of duty to warn her that her behavior subjected her to more serious sanction. Under the circumstances, KSU's termination of Dr. Stokes should not be second-guessed. 28. First, it is noted that during the period of time of these charges, the Division in which Dr. Stokes taught did not have a department chair. In this time when KSU's administration was unsettled, Dr. Stokes' behavior made the operation of the university an even greater challenge. Her behavior was not the result of a lack of a department chair. Her behavior took advantage of the lack of a department chair. 29. Second, progressive discipline is used to warn individuals of the possibility of more serious consequences if further unacceptable behavior occurs. Progressive discipline is also used to establish that certain behavior is unacceptable. As to the latter, and despite Dr. Stokes' protests, she should have known that each of her behaviors was unacceptable. As to the former, KSU let her know after each incident that her actions were unacceptable. In each case, she was not unaware that KSU disagreed with her action. To the contrary, KSU administrators told her the behavior they expected and she belligerently refused to accept those administrators' supervision. ===== PAGE 424 ===== ## O 30. For example, the administration told all the faculty who taught math and English that their classes would be observed to see how the new accelerated learning program was going. Dr. Stokes did not even write a letter to the administration with her complaints, as Dr. Fallon did. Instead, Dr. Stokes merely told Dr. Shaw and Dr. Wheeler not to return to her class. 31. In the second instance, Dr. Stokes admitted in the October 15, 2015, meeting that she knew she did not have the authority to exclude students accused of plagiarism from her class, that only the administration could do so.16 Despite this admission, Dr. Stokes now claims she barred MS from her class because of the “classroom safety incident.” Besides being disingenuous, this excuse does not explain why she barred the other three students from her class. 32. In the third instance, no reasonable faculty member would think he or she could speak to Mr. Haskins as she did. 33. And finally, she was informed she was required to accommodate PW before she told him he had to drop her class.17 34. In each instance, she had to know her intransigence was unjustified. Her protests now are not believable. 35. According to Petitioner, KSU “failed to consider a less drastic sanction prior to the Petitioner’s termination.”18 The Petitioner offered no proof whatsoever about the sanctions that KSU actually considered before terminating her. The Petitioner also offered no proof that KSU was required to consider lesser sanctions before terminating her. ===== PAGE 425 =====

## O 36. At best, the issue is whether Dr. Stokes' behavior was sufficiently serious to warrant termination, and the Hearing Officer concludes it was. Her belligerent behavior was not a mistake. She improperly impacted KSU administrators' proper functioning. And she unjustifiably denied five students' the opportunity to attend her classes in furtherance of their education. There can be no doubt that her actions warranted termination. ### Dr. Stokes Was Not Denied Due Process 37. There is no question that Dr. Stokes was entitled to due process. She received it. She was given adequate notice of the charges, an opportunity to be heard at a meaningful time and in a meaningful manner, and she was afforded an impartial decision maker.19 38. Without citing any instance in the record or offering any legal authority to justify her accusation, Dr. Stokes makes the bald statement that the Petitioner was denied an impartial Hearing Officer. On more than one occasion the Hearing Officer interjected his personal bias when the Petitioner and her witnesses were testifying. The Hearing Officer acted in a manner more like a prosecutor than an impartial Hearing Officer.20 39. A hallmark of the impartiality of the decision maker is that “the decision maker should state the reasons for his determination and indicate the evidence he relied on.” Goldberg v. Kelly, 397 U.S. 254, 271 (1970). The evidence cited in this decision and the reasons stated speak for themselves. Dr. Stokes' own words spoken during meetings, written in emails, and made directly to administrators justify her termination. 40. This argument is completely without merit. ===== PAGE 426 ===== O

### Dr. Stokes Is Not Entitled to Back Pay #### 41. Dr. Stokes argues that in September, 2016 the Respondent stopped paying the Petitioner her salary and canceled her insurance, effectively terminating her from KSU. Pursuant to KRS 164.365(1) the only administrative body which could terminate the Petitioner was the KSU Board of Regents. The Respondent constructively terminated the Petitioner in September, 2016 when KSU stopped paying her, violating the Petitioner (sic) right to due process and the applicable statutes. Petitioner's Post-Hearing Argument, page 2. 42. Although her argument lacks clarity on this point, to the extent that Dr. Stokes is arguing she is entitled to back pay even if the Board of Regents terminates her, her argument should be rejected. 43. First, Dr. Stokes claims that her hearing was delayed “due to factors beyond Petitioner's control.”21 This argument is false. 44. When KSU issued its charges against Dr. Stokes on April 22, 2016, she had a right under the Faculty Handbook to file a grievance.22 She could have used this procedure to ask for a hearing anytime between her attorney's letter of April 29, 2016, and her suspension on September 16, 2016. 45. KSU continued to pay Dr. Stokes through September 15, 2016. During this time, Dr. Stokes took no action and asked for no hearing. ===== PAGE 427 =====
O
## O 46. It was only when KSU suspended Dr. Stokes without pay beginning September 16, 2016, that she asked for a hearing, but she did so by filing a circuit court action, which further delayed this proceeding. 47. Then the Petitioner voluntarily remanded this case for an administrative hearing. In this administrative hearing process, the hearing date was scheduled at the convenience of the parties. The Petitioner's counsel agreed to the date for the hearing and never registered an objection to the date or claimed that the hearing was unfairly or improperly delayed. 48. No evidence shows that since the charges were issued against the Petitioner that she took even the simplest step to obtain a hearing such as writing or contacting the KSU General Counsel to ask for a hearing. 49. For these reasons, any delay in setting a hearing has been due to the Petitioner's own inaction or her own dilatory actions. 50. The Petitioner should not receive a windfall based on this delay, especially because the Faculty Handbook protects KSU from terminated faculty gaining such a windfall. 51. The KSU Faculty Handbook, Section 2.8.4, specifically states, “Suspension is temporary denial of employment with or without pay until the Board of Regents can give full consideration to the charges leading to suspension.”23 52. While the Board of Regents is the authority that decides the ultimate sanction that Dr. Stokes will receive, under the Faculty Handbook, the Board can decide to uphold her temporary suspension without paying beginning September 16, 2016, and it should do so. ===== PAGE 428 ===== ## RECOMMENDED ORDER Based on the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, the Hearing Officer RECOMMENDS the Kentucky State University Board of Regents issue a final order that AFFIRMS the termination of Dr. Karah Stokes as faculty with the university; and FURTHER, that the Board of Regents' final order AFFIRM the suspension of Dr. Stokes without paying beginning September 16, 2016. ## NOTICE TO PARTIES OF EXCEPTION AND APPEAL RIGHTS Pursuant to KRS 13B.110(4): A copy of the hearing officer's recommended order shall be sent to each party in the hearing and each party shall have fifteen (15) days from the date the recommended order is mailed within which to file exceptions to the recommendations with the agency head. Pursuant to Kentucky case law (see Rapier v. Philpot, 130 S.W.3d 560 (Ky. 2004) and subsequent cases), when a party fails to file exceptions, that party's appeal under KRS 13B.140 is limited to those findings and conclusions in the agency head's final order that differ from those in the hearing officer's recommended order. Pursuant to KRS 13B.120(2): The agency head may accept this recommended order and adopt it as the agency's final order, or it may reject or modify, in whole or in part, the recommended order, or it may remand the matter, in whole or in part, to the hearing officer for further proceedings as appropriate. Pursuant to KRS 13B.120(4): The agency head shall render a final order in an administrative hearing within ninety (90) days after the hearing officer submits a recommended order to the agency head, unless the matter is remanded to the hearing officer for further proceedings. Pursuant to KRS 13B.140: All final orders of an agency shall be subject to judicial review in accordance with the provisions of KRS Chapter 13B. A party shall institute an appeal by filing a petition in ===== PAGE 429 ===== the Circuit Court of venue, as provided in the agency's enabling statutes, within thirty (30) days after the final order of the agency is mailed or delivered by personal service. If venue for appeal is not stated in the enabling statutes, a party may appeal to Franklin Circuit Court or the Circuit Court of the county in which the appealing party resides or operates a place of business. Copies of the petition shall be served by the petitioner upon the agency and all parties of record. The petition shall include the names and addresses of all parties to the proceeding and the agency involved, in a statement of the grounds on which the review is requested. The petition shall be accompanied by a copy of the final order. Pursuant to KRS 23A.010(4), “Such review [by the Circuit Court] shall not constitute an appeal but an original action.” Some courts have interpreted this language to mean that summons must be served when filing an appeal petition from an administrative action in the Circuit Court. SO ORDERED this 15 day of June, 2018.
