Page 1 of 1 164.376 Housing and security policy for safe residence facilities for students with a disability. (1) As used in this section, unless the context requires otherwise, "disability" has the same meaning as the definition given in KRS 344.010. (2) The Council on Postsecondary Education shall develop guidelines for the adoption of policies by postsecondary education institutions with residence facilities that
provide students with a disability a safe environment in which to live and study. (3) Each institution shall develop a housing and security policy in compliance with the council's guidelines that shall be visibly posted in each residence facility, made
available on campus computer networks to which students have access, and
included in all student housing information. The policies shall include, but not be
limited to, an appeals process that may be used by students, their parents, or their
advocates when they have reason to believe that the institution's policy or the
student's housing assignment does not reasonably accommodate the student's
disability or endangers the student's safety or health. The appeals process shall
mandate that the body assigned to hear the appeal shall not include representatives
of the original department that made the housing assignment that is being appealed. (4) Each institution shall prepare at the beginning of each semester a list with the name and residency assignment of each student with a disability, as reported to the
institution by the student or the student's parent or advocate, as appropriate. The list
shall be given to the campus housing and security authorities to be used in an
emergency to identify, locate, and act to help, protect, and if necessary, rescue the
student with a disability. Effective: July 14, 2000
History: Created 2000 Ky. Acts ch. 191, sec. 1, effective July 14, 2000.
