K-STATE TRADITIONS

NICKNAME Through its first 19 seasons of athletic competition, K-State had used “Aggies” as its nickname. But prior to the 1915 season, new coach John “Chief” Bender gave his squad the nickname “Wildcats.” The moniker lasted the one season Bender coached at K-State. Under Coach Z.G. Clevenger in 1917, the school team became known as the “Farmers.” In 1920 another new coach, Charles Bachman, took over the program, renaming the team “Wildcats.” This time, the nickname stuck.

WILLIE THE WILDCAT Willie, a student bedecked in an oversized Wildcat head, is K-State’s No. 1 fan. Willie Wildcats are selected yearly by a panel appointed by the cheerleader coach. The mascot is a central part of athletic contests, but al- so attends functions around the state as an ambassador. Traditionally, the identity of the student portraying Willie is kept secret.

SCHOOL SONGS The Alma Mater was selected as a result of an 1888 campus contest. H.W. Jones (‘88) was responsible for K- State’s prized result. Jones’ original work was four stanzas including the chorus. His version has been slightly altered over the years to include just two stanzas and the changing of the words from KSAC to KSU. The school’s fight song is entitled “Wildcat Victory.”

ALMA MATER

I know a spot that I love full well, ‘Tis not in forest nor yet in dell. Ever it holds me with magic spell, I think of thee Alma Mater. K-S-U, we’ll carry the banner high, K-S-U long, long may the colors fly. Loyal to thee thy children will swell the cry. Hail, Hail, Hail Alma Mater.

WILDCAT VICTORY

Fight you K-State Wildcats, For Alma Mater fight-fight-fight. Glory in the combat for the purple and white. Faithful to our colors, we shall ever be, fighting ever fighting for a Wildcat Victory!

SCHOOL COLORS The school color Royal Purple (PMS 268) was adopted in the fall of 1896 by a committee of Miss Minnie L. Copeland, Miss Winnifred Houghton and Miss Ina E. Holyrod of the senior class, and perhaps one or two oth- ers. Although K-State’s only official color is purple, white has been used as a complimentary color for many years. Silver is also a common second or third color.

POWERCAT LOGO One of the most recognizable athletic logos in the nation is the K-State Powercat. The logo was introduced by head coach Bill Snyder shortly after his arrival in Manhattan as the attitude of the entire athletics department and University was changing.

Manhattan native Tom Bookwalter, in cooperation with Snyder, created the powerful logo that is a prominent feature on the K-State football helmet, at Wagner Field, on the back of the Dev Nelson Press Box, clothing, flags, bottled water, vanity plates for cars and just about anywhere there can be one. Previous logos used by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics included a line drawing of a wildcat head and the cartoonish “Willie the Wildcat” that is used only by the Alumni Association.

THE BIG 12 CONFERENCE

HISTORY OF THE BIG 12 One of the nation’s most prolific conferences, the Big 12 maintains its leadership role within the NCAA framework in areas of academics, student life, competition, sportsmanship, and compliance.

Dedicated to achieving the highest goals in the integration of academic and athletic endeavors, Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas Christian University, Texas Tech, and West Vir- ginia comprise the highly regarded Big 12 Conference, one of the most powerful alliances in NCAA Division I com- petition to date.

Individually, member schools have long been respected for successes both in its classrooms and its stadiums. In all, conference institutions have received numerous accolades for the quality of academic resources, pro- grams and services offered to students.

STUDENT-ATHLETE RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

Your decision to participate in Intercollegiate Athletics at Kansas State University requires unique responsibili- ties of you. Your role as a student athlete makes you a representative of your team, of the Department, and of the University. This role as a representative obligates you to standards of conduct that are specific to the visi- bility and attention which you receive in your chosen role as an athlete.

Your character is as important as your athletic ability. Your conduct must not be detrimental to your team, to the Department, or the University. Student-athlete conduct must not bring disrespect, contempt, or ridicule up- on Kansas State University, or the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, or your team.

AS A STUDENT, you agree to abide by the University policy for student conduct. The responsibility for proper conduct is placed upon the student, not the University, and assumes that students will not intentionally violate the policies of conduct and will respect the rights and properties of others.

AS AN INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETE, you agree to uphold the following principles of conduct for student athletes: • To represent yourself, the team, the Department, and the University in a positive and forthright manner which enhances the reputation and public perception of the team, the Department, and the University. • To abide by the written team rules provided to you and uphold the principles of sportsmanship and ethics outlined in this student-athlete policy handbook.

AS A TEAM MEMBER, you agree to protect and secure privileged team information, including information re- garding medical conditions, injuries, teammate opinions or attitudes, communication of coaches, and team dy- namics. You agree to maintain confidentiality of all information and communication that is within the domain of the department, team, its members, coaches and support personnel. You agree to honor and respect the privacy of team information.

AS AN INTERNET USER, you agree to maintain and protect the confidentiality of team information and ob- serve the right to privacy of teammates, coaches and staff. Personal information provided to the internet must not bring disrespect, contempt or ridicule to your team, the Department or the University.

Regardless of your privacy settings, inappropriate postings to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, or any other internet, personal or social networking site include, but are not limited to: - confidential team information, including disclosure of team injuries - alcohol related photos - use of weapons - sexually explicit photos - slander, defamation, or any language which brings embarrassment to team, Department or the Univer- sity

STUDENT-ATHLETE SPORTSMANSHIP

The essential elements of character-building and ethics in sports are embodied in the concept of sportsman- ship and six core principles: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and good citizenship. Kansas State University, as a member of the Big 12 Conference, places a great importance on the principles of sportsmanship and the ideal of pursuing victory with honor in intercollegiate athletics. Participation in athletics, including as a spectator, is a privilege and not a right.

NCAA / K-STATE ELIGIBILITY

NCAA ENROLLMENT & ELIGIBILITY NCAA Bylaw 14 relates to a student-athlete’s eligibility for practice, aid and competition. To be eligible for practice, aid and competition, you must a) be in good academic standing with the University and the NCAA, and b) be enrolled full time, which includes a minimum of 12 certified hours each fall and spring semester. a. Should you ever go below 12 hours, for any reason, you immediately become ineligible to practice or compete and it could impact the status of your athletics aid. b. PLEASE do not drop any classes without first checking with your Athletics Academic Counselor.

Bylaw 14.4.3.1.7 defines certified hours as those hours earned or accepted toward a specific degree plan. A student- athlete’s academic standing and eligibility are determined by completion of progress toward degree requirements. PTD requirements include three main components:

1. NCAA CREDIT HOUR REQUIREMENTS - 6/9/18/24-HOUR RULES Bylaw 14.4.3.1 states that eligibility for competition shall be determined based on the satisfactory completion of the following: a. You must complete 24 semester hours prior to the start of your second year (Hours from fall, spring and summer may be used); b. You must complete 18 semester hours between the fall and spring semesters and/or between the previ- ous regular two semesters; c. You must complete 6 semester hours during each full-time semester (excluding intersession or summer credits); football student athletes must complete 9 semester hours each fall semester

2. NCAA GRADE POINT AVERAGE POLICY NCAA Bylaw 14.4.3.3 states that student athletes must maintain minimum GPA requirements (based on a 4.0 scale) based on the number of completed full-time terms a. Entering second year (completion of 2 full-time semesters) – 1.8 GPA b. Entering third year (completion of 4 full-time semesters) – 1.9 GPA c. Entering fourth and fifth years (completion of 6 or more full-time semesters) – 2.0 GPA

3. NCAA PROGRESS TOWARD DEGREE - 40/60/80% RULES NCAA Bylaw 14.4.3.2 states that a student athlete entering his or her third, fourth, and fifth year of collegiate en- rollment shall have successfully completed a designated percentage of course requirements in the student’s spe- cific degree program (not a minor). The percentage requirements are as follows: a. Entering third year (completion of 4 full-time semesters) — 40% Degree Completed b. Entering fourth year (completion of 6 full-time semesters) — 60% Degree Completed c. Entering fifth year (completion of 8 full-time semesters) — 80% Degree Completed

DESIGNATION OF DEGREE PROGRAM NCAA Bylaw 14.4.3.1.7 (b) states that a student athlete shall designate a program of studies leading toward a specific bac- calaureate degree at the certifying institution by the beginning of the third year of enrollment (fifth semester) and thereafter shall make satisfactory progress toward their specific degree.

These benchmarks are in place to ensure that student athletes are progressing toward degree completion. Failing to hit these benchmarks can result in loss of eligibility for future seasons of competition.

Please adhere to all rules and policies outlined for you. Any changes in your major, course schedule, etc. must be pre-approved through your Athletic Counselor. If you have any questions regarding your eligibility at any time, please contact your Athletic Counselor immediately.

MINIMUM K-STATE GPA REQUIREMENTS If an individual’s GPA falls below the minimum requirements listed below for KSU GPA, he/she will be placed on WARN- ING (W) with the university. Once on Warning, a minimum of a 2.00 semester GPA is required or risk of DISMISSAL (D) from the university is possible. Students must also maintain the NCAA’s minimum standards as outlined above.

Total Hours and Minimum GPA Requirements

Accumulated Hours Required K-State GPA Accumulated Hours Required K-State GPA 20-29 1.50 76-90 1.90 30-45 1.75 91-105 1.95 46-60 1.80 >105 2.00 61-75 1.85

GPA Calculations Most undergraduate courses have a letter grade system for evaluating academic performance. Each letter grade has a numerical value (i.e., A = 4.0) for the purpose of determining your grade point average (GPA). You may have a desire to calculate your own GPA. Using the numbers from the grading system below, a sample calculation follows:

Grade: A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0.0

Course Grade Hours Quality Points Total

PSYCH110 B 3 X 3.0 = 9 MATH221 A 3 X 4.0 = 12 BIOL210 C 4 X 2.0 = 8

SPAN261 D 4 X 1.0 = 4

Total Hours Earned: 14 Total Points: 33 Total Points / Total Hours Earned = GPA = 33/14 = 2.357

SATISFACTORY / UNSATISFACTORY GRADE You may take a class that has a satisfactory/unsatisfactory grade. S/U grades are not included in the GPA. A satisfactory (S) grade provides credit toward graduation. An unsatisfactory (U) grade does not.

INCOMPLETE The grade of incomplete is a temporary grade given at the discretion of the faculty upon request of the student. An in- complete grade is appropriate when verifiable circumstances beyond the student’s control prevent completion of course requirements by the grade submission deadline, and the student was engaged and participating in the class prior to the circumstances that prevented completion of course requirements. The grade of incomplete is not to be used to avoid assigning a poor grade that results from unsatisfactory academic work.

Incompletes are expected to be finished by the conclusion of the next regular academic term (fall or spring), or the stu- dent’s graduation term – whichever is earlier. Any incomplete remaining after the next regular term is reassigned to an F (regardless of student’s enrollment status) and will be computed in the student's GPA, weighted at 0 points per credit. Full details of the Incomplete Grade Policy can be found in the University Handbook, F83.

DROP / ADD PROCEDURE Based on NCAA rules, the Registrar’s Office places a hold on your student account so that you may not drop below full- time enrollment (12 hours); or if you are in your final semester, drop below the hours you have remaining to complete your degree. You must see your Athletic Counselor before dropping or adding a class. Any change to your schedule can affect your eligibility; you may become ineligible for practice, aid or competition.

K-STATE HONOR & INTEGRITY SYSTEM Information in the following section was taken from the 2018-19 Undergraduate Catalog and K-State Honor & Integrity System Website. Catalog.k-state.edu and www.ksu.edu/honor

ABOUT THE HONOR SYSTEM Kansas State University has an honor system based on personal integrity, which is presumed to be sufficient assurance that in academic matters one’s work is performed honestly and without unauthorized assistance. Undergraduate and graduate students, by registering at K-State, acknowledge the jurisdiction of the K-State Honor and Integrity System. The policies and procedures of the graduate and undergraduate Honor and Integrity System apply to all full and part-time stu- dents enrolled in courses on-campus, off-campus, as well as on-line.

A component vital to the Honor and Integrity System is the inclusion of the Honor Pledge, which applies to all assign- ments, examinations, and other course work undertaken by students. The honor pledge is implied, whether or not it is stated: “On my honor, as a student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this academic work.”

WHAT IS PLAGIARISM? Plagiarism covers UNPUBLISHED as well as published sources. In a paper or assignment, if you include material that you researched in a book, magazine, newspaper, and/or on the Web, you MUST cite the source. Even handing in the same pa- per in more than one class can be considered plagiarism. Borrowing another’s term paper, handing in as one’s own work a paper purchased from an individual or agency, or submitting as one’s own papers from living group, club, or organization files. All are punishable as plagiarism. The standard for attribution and acknowledgment of literary indebtedness is set by each discipline. Students should consult with their department or with recognized handbooks in their field if in doubt.

WHAT IS UNAUTHORIZED COLLABORATION/AID? Unauthorized Collaboration: Having another person supply questions or answers from an examination to be given or in progress; giving or receiving unauthorized aid on a take home examination; collaborating with others on projects where such collaboration is expressly forbidden, the default at K-State is to do one’s own work unless explicitly stated by the pro- fessor.

OTHER FORMS OF ACADEMIC CHEATING Other forms of academic dishonesty subject to penalties include, but are not limited to, consultation of books, library mate- rials, or notes during a test; use of crib sheets or hidden notes during an examination or looking at another student’s test; having a confederate supply of questions or answers from an examination to be given or in progress; having another per- son stand in on an exam or other graded activity; deliberate falsification of lab results; submission of falsified data; pro- curement or alteration, without permission, of examinations or other academic exercises; collaborating on projects where collaboration is forbidden; and other forms of academic dishonesty and fraud.

HOW IS AN ALLEGED VIOLATION REPORTED? All members of the academic community, both students and faculty, are urged to report acts of academic dishonesty. To report an alleged violation, contact the director of the honor system and provide a brief description of the alleged violation of the honor pledge.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER AN ALLEGED VIOLATION IS REPORTED? Once an alleged violation has been reported, the director of the honor system will send the alleged student an email giv- ing the student an opportunity to contest the allegations. If the student wants to contest, he/she must complete a contest form (given after a meeting with the director). Each of these steps have strict deadlines. If the deadlines are met, the case is forwarded to a hearing panel.

Hearing panels will have three voting members (two students and one faculty). Hearing panels convene in a confidential setting. Hearing panel decisions are based on a majority vote and may be appealed.

MISSED CAMPUS DAYS POLICY

The President’s Advisory Committee (PAC) on Intercollegiate Athletics recognizes that regular class attendance is crucial to good academic performance. The PAC also recognizes the active role both coaches and professors have played, and will continue to play, in exerting strong influences on their student athletes' attitudes toward academic performance, in- cluding class attendance. It is understood that conflicts resulting from the schedule of athletic events may sometimes ne- cessitate missing classes, but the Athletics Department must take an active role in minimizing class absences whenever possible.

The PAC therefore establishes the following:

POLICY No team or individual schedule for any sport, during any season, except as noted below, will be approved (a) if it occurs or requires travel during or 24 hours before the final examination period, or (b) if it provides that a student athlete will miss more than the equivalent of nine (9) campus days (days away from campus) if a freshman or sophomore or 10 campus days if a junior or senior, in any semester, as a result of the scheduling of athletic competition.

One-half (1/2) day will be considered missed when a competition or travel associated with it is scheduled to commence prior to 2:00 p.m., but after 12:00 noon. When a competition or travel associated with it is scheduled to commence prior to 12:00 noon, a full day will be considered missed. When the scheduled termination is after 12:00 noon, one full day will be considered missed; when termination is prior to 12:00 noon, one-half day will be considered missed.

Missed campus days (days away from campus) will be monitored by coaches and the office of the SAS Director. When considering petitions for exceptions, the PAC Academic Integrity/SA Welfare Subcommittee will review MCD reports.

The approval of a team schedule pursuant to this policy in no way relates to any student athlete's satisfaction of a course requirement. Athletes should, during the first two weeks of the semester, discuss with each of their professors the poten- tial for missed classes due to travel to athletic contests. The discussion should include how many class sessions will be missed, a determination if the student athlete will be able to complete course requirements, and if so, specific ways in which the student athlete may satisfy course requirements for attendance, class work, examinations, or other assign- ments. It is the responsibility of each student athlete to arrange with his/her respective instructors his/her satisfaction of course requirements for attendance, class-work, examinations, or other assignments.

EXCEPTIONS Exceptions to the number of campus days missed (days away from campus) must be considered on an individual basis by the PAC Academic Integrity/SA Welfare Subcommittee in consultation with the Director of Student-Athlete Services (SAS) and referred, with recommendation to the PAC. The PAC Academic Integrity/SA Welfare Subcommittee may act upon exception requests that require attention between the regular meetings of the PAC. Actions taken by the Academic integ- rity/SA Welfare Subcommittee must be reported at the next regular meeting of the PAC and are subject to revision by the Committee. Other exceptions may be recommended by the PAC for good cause and should be reported in the Commit- tee's minutes.

For definitions of exceptions and for exception guidelines see Attachment A of the full policy, available with the SAS staff at Vanier Family Football Complex in the Student-Athlete Enhancement Center.

Post-season competition requiring a student athlete to miss more than 9 campus days (days away from campus) if a freshman or sophomore or 10 campus days if a junior or senior will not require an exception request to be filed with the PAC Academic Integrity/SA Welfare Subcommittee provided the athlete has satisfactory academic performance as de- termined by the SAS Director. Post season competition is described as: (a) NCAA-sanctioned national championships, (b) Big 12 tournaments, playoffs and (c) National and regional competition invitations (NIT Basketball, US Amateur Golf Tournament, etc.)

FINALS WEEK EXCEPTIONS Exception requests during and 24 hours before the final exam period must follow the procedures identified in the Universi- ty Handbook, sections F-72 through F-74.

11

FINAL EXAMINATION POLICY

Kansas State University does not have a university-wide missed-class policy for the general student body. Individual in- structors may include an attendance policy in the course syllabus. The institution does have a policy in the University Handbook regarding Final Examinations and the student athletes are held to the same standard as all students. The poli- cy is provided below:

EXAMINATIONS F70 Semester final examinations are scheduled by the Committee on Academic Policy and Procedures. Once the final examination time for a course is published in the Course Schedule it may be changed only with the concurrence of the Provost and Senior Vice President. Faculty members may assign take-home examinations, projects, papers or other me- dia in lieu of a written final examination. In such instances, the deadline for submittal of the alternative assessment may not be earlier than the end of the scheduled final examination period for the course. Course schedules can be found on the university’s website, http://courses.k-state.edu/. Except for honors, problems, seminar, reports, research, laboratory practical, language, 8-week evening college, studio and fine arts performance classes, the last examination (either unit or comprehensive) must be given during the final ex- amination period. No examination (unit or final) may be scheduled seven calendar days prior to the first scheduled day of semester examinations. (FSM 5/13/03)

F71 Faculty members may not give the final examination at a time other than that published in the class schedule. The final examination may be given to an individual student under special circumstances at another time during final examina- tions. In particular, students who have more than two examinations scheduled in a 24-clock hour period (a 24-hour period starting at any time) and students who have conflicting exam times may petition the instructor(s) of the highest numbered non-group exam course(s) and schedule an alternate time for taking the final examination(s) at some other time during final examinations. If a student is unable to arrange the necessary rescheduling through the instructors involved, then the dean will resolve the overload problem, if all the scheduled examinations are within the same college. If the examinations in question are within the jurisdiction of different colleges, decisions regarding rescheduling shall be made by the Provost and Senior Vice President. (FS 2/12/08, revised)

F72 University-sponsored events, on- and off-campus (such as extracurricular events, social activities, athletic events, and field trips) shall not be scheduled between 24 hours before the first scheduled final examination and the end of the last scheduled final examination. In addition, off-campus events shall not be scheduled to prohibit a student from being on campus between 24 hours before the first scheduled final examination and the end of the last scheduled final examina- tion.

F73 Exceptions to the scheduling restrictions for university events can be made under the following conditions: Approval for events must be obtained from the Provost and Senior Vice President and President of the Faculty Senate. For events scheduled well in advance, the approval must be obtained at least 18 weeks in advance. Consideration may be given to approval of events whose scheduling is not known as long as 18 weeks in advance.

F74 Students who plan to participate in approved events which conflict with final examinations may obtain from the Office of the Provost and Senior Vice President a statement certifying their participation in the event. Faculty may choose to make special arrangements for final examinations for students who are involved in such approved events.

F75 Credit for standardized national exams. Any student enrolled at Kansas State University is eligible to gain undergrad- uate credit from standardized national exams, which include Advancement Placement (AP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), DANTES, and International Baccalaureate (IB). A fee may be charged for such exams. Students who take standardized national exams should have the results sent to the Office of Admissions. For more information see the Office of Admissions’ website. Beginning summer 2017, students who have submitted standardized national exam scores will have EP (exam pass) recorded on the academic record. EP will have no impact on the K-State grade point average.

F76 Credit by department examinations. Specific exams prepared and administered by KSU academic departments may carry letter grades of A, B, C, or D, or a notation of “credit” as determined by the academic department. Credit may be granted for any course with the consent of the head/chair of the department offering credit for that subject. The credit will be treated as resident credit, and will be computed into the student’s K-State grade point average.

STUDENT-ATHLETE GRIEVANCE POLICY

In support of student-athlete well-being and personal development, K-State Athletics provides a grievance policy for its stu- dent athletes. This policy outlines for student athletes the opportunity to express questions and concerns to administrative authorities outside of their athletic teams. Student athletes are urged, however, to first pursue resolution of their concerns or grievances with their Head Coach or the Sport Administrator assigned to their specific sport. Should that path not provide resolution for the student, the athlete should follow this grievance policy in contacting assigned staff designated to serve in this capacity.

The term ‘grievance’ is defined as “a circumstance regarded as just cause for protest or complaint” or “indignation or re- sentment aroused by a feeling of having been wronged.” Grievances may include but are not limited to, conflicts with teammates, disputes with support personnel or coaching staff, concerns arising from the student’s participation in athlet- ics, incidents of hazing or harassment, etc.

If the student is unable to address his/her grievance through their coaching staff, or seeks independent consultation, the following steps should be followed:

1. Students should contact the department’s Executive Associate Athletics Director for Compliance or the Deputy Athletics Director/Senior Woman Administrator in order to voice their concerns. Both administrators are author- ized to act on behalf of the department in resolving student-athlete grievances. (Contact information below.)

2. Should the student athlete seek an external, independent option for the grievance, he/she should contact the Faculty Athletics Representative. (Contact information below.)

The above grievance officers will act with confidentiality to the fullest extent feasible and, if needed, with autonomy in pursuit of a productive resolution of the student athlete’s issue(s). Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed in all cases.

3. Should a student athlete have a grievance regarding their experience in the larger University, they have the option to contact the Office of Student Life, 102 Holton Hall. This staff is available to all University students who seek resolution to grievances pertaining to the University in general.

ETHICAL CONDUCT All participating student-athletes shall conduct themselves with honesty and sportsmanship at all times and also shall abide by all NCAA, Big 12 Conference, and Kansas State University rules and regulations. a) Unethical conduct by a student athlete or Kansas State staff member includes, but is not limited to, all of the follow- ing: Refusal to furnish information relevant to an investigation of a possible violation of an NCAA regulation when re- quested to do so by the NCAA or the individual's institution; b) Knowing involvement in offering or providing a prospective or an enrolled student-athlete an improper inducement or extra benefit or improper financial aid; c) Knowingly furnishing or knowingly influencing others to furnish the NCAA or the individual's institution false or mis- leading information concerning an individual's involvement in or knowledge of matters relevant to a possible violation of an NCAA regulation; d) Receipt of benefits by an institutional staff member for facilitating or arranging a meeting between a student-athlete and an agent, financial advisor or a representative of an agent or advisor (e.g., "runner"); e) Knowing involvement in providing a banned substance or impermissible supplement to student-athletes, or knowingly providing medications to student-athletes contrary to medical licensure, commonly accepted standards of care in sports medicine practice, or state and federal law. This provision shall not apply to banned substances for which the student-athlete has received a medical exception per Bylaw 31.2.3.2; however, the substance must be provided in ac- cordance with medical licensure, commonly accepted standards of care and state or federal law; f) Engaging in any athletics competition under an assumed name or with intent to otherwise deceive; or g) Failure to provide complete and accurate information to the NCAA, the NCAA Eligibility Center or the institution's ath- letics department regarding an individual's amateur status.

SPORTS WAGERING – “DON’T BET ON IT” The NCAA strictly prohibits student-athletes and athletics department’s staff members from engaging in the following ac- tivities: • Soliciting a bet on any intercollegiate or professional team; • Accepting a bet on any team representing the institution; • Soliciting or accepting a bet on any intercollegiate or professional competition for any item (e.g. cash, shirt, din- ner) that has tangible value; • Engaging in gambling activities that do not involve the outcome of contests (e.g., fantasy leagues, picking the top scorer); • Participating in any gambling activity that involves intercollegiate athletics or professional athletics through a bookmaker or a parlay card or engaging in fantasy sports or online gambling activities; • Providing information to individuals involved in organized gambling activities concerning intercollegiate athletics competition; or • Engaging in activities designed to influence the outcome of an intercollegiate contest or in an effort to affect win- loss margins (i.e., “point shaving”).

The NCAA is very clear regarding their stance on gambling and the consequences associated with sports wagering. The moment a student-athlete is discovered to have made a bet of any kind on any college or professional sport or has given information to someone who does gamble, the following will occur:

• Student-athletes involved in activities designed to influence the outcome or win/loss margins (i.e. point shaving) will be ruled permanently ineligible. • Student-athletes involved in accepting or soliciting bets on their own institution will be ruled permanently ineligible. Student-athletes involved in any other type of sport wagering through organized gambling shall lose at least one- year of eligibility.

14

EMPLOYMENT NCAA regulations permit a student-athlete to earn legitimate on- and off-campus income (including employment within the Athletics Department) at any time provided: • You have not been hired based upon your athletic ability or the value that you may have for the employer be- cause of the athletic reputation or fame you have achieved; • You will be compensated only for work actually performed; • You will be compensated at a rate commensurate with the going rate in this locality for similar services; and • You complete the employment form with compliance before your employment begins.

SEASONS OF INTERCOLLEGIATE COMPETITION Intercollegiate competition is considered to have occurred when a student-athlete in either a two-year or a four-year colle- giate institution does any of the following: represents the institution in any contest against outside competition; competes in the uniform of the institution; or competes and receives expenses from the institution for the competition.

FIVE-YEAR RULE (“YOUR ELIGIBILITY CLOCK”) A student-athlete shall not engage in more than four seasons of intercollegiate competition in any one sport. The four seasons of participation must be completed within five calendar years from the beginning of the semester in which the student-athlete first registered for a full-time program of studies in a collegiate institution. Time spent in the armed ser- vices, on official church missions, or in recognized foreign aid services will be excluded from this rule.

REDSHIRT The term “redshirt” refers to the circumstance surrounding a season of no competition. The student-athlete has met eligi- bility requirements and may be practicing with the team; however, the coaching staff has determined that the student- athlete will not compete, for any amount of time, against outside competition. Simply speaking, the student-athlete is held out of all competitive events during the academic year. The student-athlete has not used a season of eligibility, but one of five calendar years has elapsed.

OUTSIDE COMPETITION In sports other than basketball, a student-athlete may not participate during the academic year as a member of any outside team (there is an exception for official vacation periods outside of your playing season). You must obtain prior written per- mission from the compliance office to participate. Student-athletes may participate on an outside amateur team during the summer, but there are limitations in some sports on the number of student-athletes who may participate on the same team.

In the sport of basketball, student-athletes may not participate in any organized outside basketball competition during the academic year. Summer participation is permissible only in those summer events (e.g., leagues, tournaments, state games) that are approved by the NCAA and are located within 100 miles of campus and/or your permanent residence. You must obtain prior written permission from the compliance office to participate.

Always check with the compliance office or your coach prior to participating in any outside competition.

PRACTICE HOURS The NCAA defines practice as any meeting, activity or instruction involving sports-related information and having an athletic purpose, held for one or more student-athletes at the direction of a coaching staff member. In-season, student athletes are permitted to practice no more than 20 hours a week and 4 hours a day. Coaches must also give at least one day off per week. Out-of-season, during the academic year, you are permitted to participate in up to 8 hours of practice per week with at least two days off per week. In all sports except football, a coach can require up to 4 of those hours to be skill instruction. In the sport of football, no skill instruction is permitted and no more than 2 hours may be spent watching film. During official va- cation periods during the academic year that are out-of-season (e.g., Thanksgiving, spring break), any athletically related activity must be voluntary, and must be conducted by the strength and conditioning coach. The student-athlete also must request the activity. Voluntary means that attendance is not mandatory and no penalty can be given if a student-athlete de- cides not to participate in the activity. Results of the voluntary activities cannot be reported back to the coaching staff. There are exceptions for basketball and football over the summer. If you have any concerns/questions about practice hours, con- tact the Compliance Office.

AMATEUR STATUS AND AGENTS NCAA rules state that a student-athlete will become ineligible for participation in intercollegiate athletics if he/she has ever agreed (verbally or in writing) to be represented by an agent to market their athletic ability.

The moment the agreement is made, student-athletes will lose their eligibility even if this agreement states that representa- tion will not begin until after the expiration of their eligibility. This includes any individual, agency, or organization that might represent prospects in hopes of placing them in a collegiate institution and helping them gain financial aid. A student-athlete may confer with legal counsel regarding sports contracts. However, the council may not represent the student-athlete in ne- gotiations for such a contract. If you are ever contacted by an agent, please contact the Compliance Office.

A student-athlete may confer with legal counsel regarding sports contracts. However, legal counsel may not represent the student-athlete in negotiations for such a contract. If you are ever contacted by an agent, please contact the compliance office.

EXTRA BENEFITS The NCAA prohibits student-athletes from receiving any “extra benefits,” which are defined as any special arrangement by an institutional employee or representative of the institution’s athletics interests (i.e., booster) to provide the student- athlete or his or her relatives or friends with a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. Some examples of impermissible extra benefits include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Room, board, or transportation costs 2. Loan of money in any amount (or for any period of time) or signing or co-signing a loan with an outside agency 3. Cash or gifts 4. Typing or other costs associated with school projects or reports 5. Professional services for which a fee would normally be charged (tattoos, medical/dental services, haircuts, au- tomotive services, laundry, etc.) 6. Entertainment or the purchase of meals or services at commercial establishments (this includes a soft drink or popcorn at an athletic event) 7. The use of a telephone (including cell phones) or telephone credit card for free long-distance calls 8. Awards for athletic performance 9. An honorarium or fee for a speaking engagement or other appearance 10. A special discount payment arrangement or credit on a purchase (airline ticket, clothing, etc.) 11. A guarantee of bond (bail money, etc.) 12. A benefit connected with off-campus housing (electronic equipment, room furnishings, etc.) 13. Tickets to an athletic, institution or community event (professional football/basketball games, state high school tournament tickets, etc.) 14. The use of personal properties (boats, cars, summer homes, automobiles, etc.) If a benefit, gift or service is offered to you, please check with your coach or the Compliance Office, BEFORE accepting it. Remember, any violation of this rule could result in a loss of your eligibility.

BOOSTERS A booster, also known as a "representative of the institution's athletics interests," is any individual who is a member of the institution's athletics booster club, has made donations to the booster club or to the athletics department, is involved in providing benefits (i.e., summer jobs) to enrolled student-athletes or is otherwise involved in promoting the institution's athletics program. Boosters may not be involved in the recruitment of student-athletes; they may not give student-athletes cash, clothing, equipment or other merchandise; boosters may not provide use of a vehicle or free or reduced-cost hous- ing; they may not take a student-athlete out to a restaurant, event, etc. Boosters may invite a student-athlete to their home for an occasional family meal (with pre-approval); they may employ a prospective or enrolled student-athlete during the summer, provided that compensation is paid only for work actually performed and at a rate commensurate with that paid for similar services. For questions regarding NCAA rules and regulations on this subject, contact the compliance office.

COMPLIMENTARY ADMISSIONS Under NCAA rules, a student-athlete may receive up to four complimentary admissions for each home or away, regular- season intercollegiate athletics event in the student-athlete’s sport. All complimentary admissions must be issued through a pass list (“Player-Guest”). All individuals that are receiving complimentary admissions must present proper photo identi- fication and must enter at the designated pass gate. If a person’s name is not on your team’s pass list, that person will not be admitted without purchasing a ticket. No hard copy tickets will be issued. Complimentary admissions may not be sold or exchanged for anything of value, whether by you or by a person designed on your list. Such a sale is an “extra benefit” and will jeopardize your eligibility. Student-athletes may not provide K-State professors, faculty or staff with complimentary admissions.

OFFICIAL VISIT GUIDELINES

THE RECRUITING GUIDELINES The recruiting guidelines for Kansas State Athletics are the foundation for our recruiting practices for each of our sport programs. The guidelines establish uniform expectations for the recruitment of prospective student athletes to K-State; establish a consistent model of how prospects experience their official visit; and illustrate K-State’s commitment to specific recruiting practices by the Department’s staff, coaches, and student athletes.

Each team is encouraged to add, strengthen, and/or expand upon these guidelines in order to construct their most ef- fective recruiting strategy for official visits. Each team is to implement the guidelines as a foundation for their respective recruiting effort.

SPORT PROGRAM RESPONSIBILITY It is the responsibility of coaches and staff of each team to define, demonstrate, and monitor the official visit expectations, activities, and behavior of their recruits, hosts, and student athletes.

SPORT PROGRAM ACCOUNTABILITY Deviations from the recruiting guideline requirements are to be reported to the Head Coach. Head Coaches will report incidents of non-compliance with these guidelines to the Director of Athletics and Sport Administrator for their respective sport.

K-STATE OFFICIAL VISIT RECRUITING Coaches are to effectively communicate the expectations of these guidelines and document that communication effort. Student athletes must verify their understanding and agreement with the Recruiting Guidelines. Only trained and informed coaches, staff, and student athletes are to participate in the activities of an on-campus official visit for prospective student athletes. The training program for Sport staff and student athletes is to be congruent with the Recruiting Guidelines, re- viewed by Athletic Administration, and documented by the participants of the training. Each sport program prepares and presents their specific training program.

RECRUITING EXPECTATIONS FOR OFFICIAL VISITS The expectations below apply to Department personnel, coaches, sport staff, student-athlete hosts, and teammates: • To represent themselves, the team, the Department, and the University in a positive and forthright manner, all of which enhance the reputation and public perception of the team, the Department, and the University • To provide meaningful, relevant, and accurate information about the University and campus life • To encourage the prospect’s questions and inquiry regarding the University, campus life, and the student-athlete ex- perience

The expectations below explicitly prohibit: • Creating negative publicity or embarrassment to the team or Department. • Discrediting the University or causing harm to its public reputation. • Use of alcohol, tobacco products, and illegal drugs. • Promotion or encouragement of under-age drinking. • Behaviors which result in confrontation, violence, or fighting with students or members of the community. • Promotion or encouragement of sexual behavior. • Promotion or encouragement of sexual harassment, assault, misconduct, or other sex offenses. • Use of offensive, inappropriate, or profane language. • Sharing of confidential team information which may disrupt or damage the recruiting process for the team. • PROMOTION, ENCOURAGEMENT, ARRANGEMENT OR USE OF ANY INDIVIDUAL(S) TO SERVE IN A CAPACI- TY OF ESCORT WITH A RECRUIT FOR THE PURPOSE OF SOCIAL OR SEXUAL INTERACTION WITH A MEM- BER(S) OF THE OPPOSITE SEX.

TRAINING The guidelines indicate training programs to be presented to coaches, staff, and student hosts involved with the recruiting process of official visits.

1. Student Hosts: The student hosts for official visits should be a select group of team members who serve in Captain or leadership posi- tions and/or who demonstrate enthusiasm and loyalty for the sport program. A pool of potential hosts should be identified and trained well in advance of the official visit periods. The role of official hosts should be portrayed as one with significant importance and status within the team. Training presentations to hosts should include, but not limited to, sexual harass- ment, diversity education, salesmanship, dining etiquette, public speaking and interpersonal dynamics. Training will em- phasize positive and effective communication, the ability to say “No”, and exposure to problem solving strategies.

17

2. Coaches and staff: Need to exemplify a positive and enthusiastic relationship to team members and sport program; are to model the expecta- tions of these guidelines; will need to brief the hosts and other coaches regarding the recruit; be available to intervene with problem recruits or issues involving the guidelines and the recruiting process; must report any incidences or non- compliance with guidelines to the Head Coach; will prepare evaluations on each prospect’s recruiting visit.

Support personnel are expected to comply with recruiting guidelines and demonstrate established recruiting practices and expectations.

STUDENT-ATHLETE FINANCIAL AID POLICY

Student-athletes awarded an athletic scholarship are provided oversight of their athletic scholarship by the University’s Office of Financial Aid.

SCHOLARSHIP STUDENT-ATHLETE RESPONSIBILITIES At Kansas State University, your character is as important to us as your athletic ability. We will not knowingly recruit and provide financial aid to a prospect whose citizenship and conduct is categorically unacceptable. Therefore, in the event we become aware that you have been charged with criminal misconduct or there is a history of undesirable social behav- ior, the nature of which would bring public censure and embarrassment to the University, we reserve the right to cancel your athletics scholarship and/or invalidate the National Letter of Intent.

• IMPORTANT: Should you knowingly violate NCAA or Big 12 Conference regulations you will be declared ineligible and/or your athletics scholarship will be cancelled.

• IMPORTANT: NCAA regulations restrict the total amount of financial aid a student-athlete can receive. If you receive a federal grant or some other outside scholarship or financial aid, you are required to notify the Compliance Office and the University Financial Aid Office. Those funds may replace a portion of your athletics scholarship. You will be noti- fied of the need to make changes at the earliest possible date.

Aid may be immediately reduced or cancelled during the term of this award if you: • Become academically ineligible for intercollegiate competition (e.g., enrolled in less than 12 hours; not passing 6 hours); • Fraudulently misrepresent any information on your application, Letter of Intent or financial aid agreement (this in- cludes not reporting for team practices, competitions or meetings, and/or making only token appearances to team ac- tivities as determined by the University); • Engage in academic misconduct or non-compliance with academic requirements and/or team rules (e.g., class ab- sences, in-class behavior, non-compliance with homework, assignments, examinations or other course requirements); • Engage in serious misconduct that brings disciplinary action from this institution; • Violates non-athletically related conditions outlined in the financial aid agreement or violated documented institutional rules or policies or; • Voluntarily withdraw from the sport at any time for personal reasons.

NCAA rules require that your aid be reduced or cancelled if: • You sign a professional sports contract for this sport; • You accept money for playing in an athletic contest that causes you to exceed the cost of a full scholarship; • You receive other aid that causes you to exceed your individual limit.

In addition, Kansas State University may adjust or cancel a student-athlete’s athletic aid if: • A scholarship student-athlete who receives room and board is not present in Manhattan, KS during the respective period of the award. • A scholarship student-athlete does not fulfill the requirements of any summer school application and summer aid agreement.

SCHOLARSHIP STUDENT-ATHLETE RIGHTS Unless a multi-year scholarship had been previously awarded, renewal notification of the student-athlete’s athletic schol- arship is required prior to July 1 each year.

• Your athletic scholarship will not be decreased or cancelled during the period of its award on the basis of athletics ability, performance, and contribution to the team’s success or because of injury or illness that prevents participation in intercol- legiate athletics. Athletic scholarships may be increased at any time for any reason in accordance with NCAA rules. • In no event, may an athletics scholarship be reduced or canceled because of an athletically related injury.

18

The institution will notify in writing each student athlete via email if his/her athletics scholarship is renewed, reduced, can- celled or non-renewed. If a student’s aid is reduced, cancelled or non-renewed, the student will be informed of the right to appeal the reduction or cancellation of aid and the steps necessary to request the hearing. The hearing will take place in front of an Appeals Committee to be assembled by the Chairman of the Scholarship Committee/Vice President of Student Life and will be comprised of individuals from campus and outside of athletics. The ruling of the Appeals Committee is fi- nal and binding.

NCAA STUDENT ASSISTANCE FUND FOR STUDENT-ATHLETES The Student Assistance Fund (SAF) was established by the NCAA to assist student-athletes with a variety of costs inci- dental to being a college student. If the student-athlete qualifies, the following are examples of what the SAF may be used for: 1. Cost of expendable academic course supplies (e.g. notebooks, pens, lab manuals, etc.) 2. Fees incidental to your educational program (e.g., cost of tests such as the GMAT, LSAT, GRE, MCAT, PPST, etc.). 3. Cost of nonexpendable supplies that are required for all students enrolled in a course (e.g., iClicker). 4. Medical and dental costs not covered by another insurance program (e.g. Dental procedures not covered by insurance, vision therapy, psychological counseling). 5. Costs associated with student athletes’ family emergencies (e.g., plane ticket home). 6. Graduation award (e.g., graduation expenses such as your cap, gown, tassel, and announcements) 7. Cost of clothing. Student athletes must be a PELL recipient or demonstrate a certain level of financial need. To see if you qualify, complete a FAFSA form through the K-State Financial Aid office (located at 104 Fairchild Hall). Any single item purchase costing $100 or more requires pre-approval from the Compliance Of- fice prior to purchase.

To request reimbursement for an expense, fill out the SAF form, which is available in the compliance office. Along with a completed SAF form, you will be required to submit to the compliance office a receipt demonstrating proof of purchase and the course syllabus indicating that the item is required (if applicable). While there is great flexibility in what items may be provided by this fund, there are certain items that cannot be covered by SAF due to budgetary limitations (e.g., lap- tops/computers for individual student-athletes) or due to NCAA legislation. To inquire about the availability of SAF, stop by the compliance office (Vanier Football Complex). SAF is available to all student-athletes.

19

SUMMER ATHLETICS AID POLICY

SUMMER ATHLETICS AID The objective of Kansas State Athletics’ summer school funding program is to encourage student-athletes in making con- tinued progress towards their degrees. Summer school attendance may be appropriate for a number of reasons, including degree programs which require more than 124 hours for graduation, the need to focus exclusively on a particularly difficult course, completion during the academic year of less than the 30 credit hours per year necessary for graduation in four years, enrollment is required for summer athletic participation, or a deficiency in degree-acceptable hours as required by NCAA rules.

Student-athletes interested in summer school funding must request funding through the team’s head coach. The SAS staff reviews the appropriateness of the requested hours, including degree applicability. The Head Coach then ap- proves or denies the request prior to further consideration. The Compliance Office will then determine the maximum, per- missible summer school aid allowable per NCAA rules for each student-athlete.

Consideration for approval may include class and study hall attendance, use of mentors and tutors, missed exams or as- signments and failing grades resulting from documented lack of effort during the previous academic year. At the time of application, each student-athlete will sign a contract to acknowledge their understanding of the Summer School Funding Policy, and especially the Student-Athlete Requirements & Responsibilities as it relates to athletic financial aid, including the reimbursement stipulation.

Student-athletes who take summer school classes and/or accept athletic financial aid for summer school must agree to all of the following requirements:

1. Enrollment for summer classes takes place beginning in late March; you enroll in summer classes at the same time you enroll in classes for the following fall. 2. You must meet with your on-campus advisor to select both summer and fall classes; confirm with your athletics counselor to make sure classes count toward your degree program. 3. You must comply with all academic deadlines and enrollment procedures of your college and/or the University. You must comply with all individual class requirements outlined in the course syllabus, such as class attendance, test dates, etc. 4. If you receive athletics aid (scholarship), summer school is not automatically applied/approved. There is an appli- cation process that MUST be followed and approved. 5. You MUST complete the Summer School Application form, and the form must be approved by your head coach and your athletic counselor in order for summer athletics aid to be applied. 6. Approval for aid must be approved by head coach and is not automatic. Requests are due prior to the start of the first session of summer school. 7. Each coach handles the Summer Aid Application process on an individual basis; opportunity for aid is based on merit; your previous academic history will be taken into consideration with regard to approval or denial of summer athletics aid. 8. Work with your athletics counselor to ensure that you are enrolling in classes that meet progress toward degree re- quirements, as well as, eligibility for summer team conditioning and department policy as it relates to room and board re- quirements. 9. Students can only receive room and board (or COA) stipend (if applicable to their scholarship) for the time that the student is living in Manhattan, KS while their summer school course(s) are in-session (e.g. no room and board or COA stipends for taking online courses and living at parent’s home, etc.). 10. If aid is approved, after you have enrolled, a summer enrollment hold will be placed on your KSIS account. 11. Academic resources, such as daytime tutoring, computer lab and printing access are available during the summer. Stu- dents that are assigned additional academic requirements such as study table, tutoring, etc., are expected to fulfill those requirements as specified. 12. You MUST notify your athletics counselor if you make any changes to your summer schedule; changes could im- pact your eligibility for summer conditioning and athletics aid. 13. The class attendance and effort of those student-athletes approved for an eight-week course or second four-week session course will be evaluated after the first four weeks. 14. Student athlete will be required to repay tuition and fee costs if ANY of the following occur: a. If he/she independently makes the decision to withdraw from a course after the 100% refund date; b. If the academic counselor determines the SA has not put forth the effort to pass the course(s); c. If the student-athlete receives a failing/non-degree applicable grade for any course due to lack of effort and/or attendance.

20

STUDENT ACCOUNT DELINQUINCIES

Delinquencies are balances due on your student account that you owe and that are not covered by your athletics scholar- ship. Every area of university life is linked by the KSIS computer system. You may or may not be notified by the service provider if you owe money; you are responsible for periodically double checking your student account to determine if any outstanding balances are due. Only you can get the specifics of how much you owe and to whom; the University will not reveal this confidential information to the Athletics Counseling staff. As soon as you get the notice, call to find out how to resolve the debt. In almost all incidences payment plans can be worked out if you owe a significant amount of money. Everything connected to your academic career is frozen until you take care of the delinquency. The University will not allow you to drop or add classes, enroll for the next term, or graduate if you owe money to any of the service areas listed below.

EXPENSES NOT COVERED BY ATHLETICS SCHOLARSHIPS Per NCAA rules, a full athletics scholarship will cover room and board, tuition and fees, books and other expenses related to attendance at the institution up to the cost of attendance. Charges not covered by athletic scholarship include (but are not limited to) the following: • Wildcat student ID Card • Replacement costs for a lost student ID • Parking permits or fines • Past due balances on your student-account bill • Library fines • Fines for damage to University property, including the residence halls • Key deposits or replacement of a lost residence hall key • Laundry charges • Other miscellaneous charges made to your student-account bill

PAY ATTENTION AND RESPOND to any notices or emails you may receive from any of the following agencies with re- gard to delinquencies. The following agencies may render you delinquent. To find out what needs to be done call each agency specifically.

NATIONAL LETTER OF INTENT RELEASE POLICY

If a student athlete signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI) with K-State and is in the first year of attendance (freshman or two-year college transfer) after signing an NLI, a separate and specific release from the NLI is required in order to be re- leased from the NLI obligation. If a student is not released, an appeal may be requested by completing an NLI Appeals Form at www.nationalletter.org. A student athlete may seek an NLI release and/or help with the NLI appeals process through the Compliance Office.

NOTIFICATION OF TRANSFER POLICY (Effective 10/15/18)

Currently enrolled student-athlete may contact other institutions regarding the possibility of transfer after they have pro- vided their current institution with a written notification to transfer. This notification can occur at any time. Within two (2) business days of receipt of a written notification of transfer from a student-athlete, the institution must enter the student- athlete’s information into the national transfer database (NCAA Bylaw 13.1.1.3).

Athletic financial aid may be reduced or cancelled at the end of the regular academic term in which written notification of transfer is received. If notification is provided between regular academic terms, the athletic financial aid may be reduced or cancelled immediately. All reduction or cancellations are subject to an appeal hearing opportunity per NCAA Bylaw 15.3.5.1.1.

After a student-athlete provides written notification of transfer, the head coach retains the ability to immediately remove the student-athlete from the team’s active roster. If the student-athlete remains on the active roster, he/she will continue to receive all of the benefits for athletic participation as other student-athletes. If the student-athlete is removed from the ac- tive team roster, he/she may only receive the benefits and services as specified below (NCAA Bylaw 13.1.1.3.1). Excep- tions to these guidelines may be made on a case-by-case basis depending on the particular circumstances.

• Medical Care/Expenses: Student may continue to see athletic trainers and utilize training room facilities if reha- bilitation is necessary for an athletically-related injury sustained while a student-athlete at K-State. Non-athletic medical needs are the full responsibility of the student-athlete. Medical treatment and procedures may only be covered by athletics if the athletically-related injury occurred while a student-athlete at K-State and determination of necessary medical treatment will be made by a team physician in consultation with the Head Athletic Trainer. • Academic Support Services (priority registration, counseling/tutoring, study hall, usage of SAEC facilities): Case-by-case basis (decision made by Director of Academic Services). • Complimentary Admissions: No longer available. • Athletic Facility Usage (team sport facility, athletic weight rooms): No longer available. • Eligibility for NCAA Student Assistance Fund: No longer available. • Team Activities (including but not limited to occasional meals, team entertainment, practice involvement, team travel, voluntary activities, strength/conditioning workouts, etc.): No longer available. • Apparel/Equipment: No additional apparel; must return all equipment issued by sport program; apparel will be handled on a case-by-case basis. • K-State Athletics Events (banquets, ceremonies): Case-by-case basis • Performance Table Meals/Fueling station nutritional supplements: Case-by-case basis

PROCEDURE 1. Written Request. A student-athlete wishing to consider transferring to another institution, must send a written, via email, notification to the compliance office indicating their interest to transfer. The compliance office will forward the notification to the head coach, sport administrator, and if necessary, the Director of Athletics. 2. National Transfer Database. The compliance office will enter the student-athlete’s name in the national transfer database two (2) business days after the written notification to transfer is received. 3. Team Roster. The head coach retains the ability to remove the student-athlete from the active team roster after receiving the written notification of transfer. 4. Reduction or Cancellation of Athletic Aid. Within five (5) business days after the student-athlete is placed on the National Transfer Database, the head coach, in consultation with the Director of Athletics, will determine if ath- letic financial aid should be reduced or cancelled at the end of the term in which the written notification of transfer was received. If written notification to transfer was provided between terms (i.e., winter break or summer break), athletic aid may be reduced or cancelled immediately. If athletic financial aid is reduced or cancelled, the student- athlete will receive the opportunity to request an appeal hearing. 5. Written Notice of Appeal. If athletic financial aid is reduced or cancelled, the compliance office will send the stu- dent-athlete a written notice detailing the opportunity to appeal the cancellation decision.

22

6. Appeal Request. Within seven (7) business days of receipt of the written cancellation of athletic aid, the student- athlete may appeal the cancellation decision. If the student-athlete has not submitted their written request within that timeframe, he/she waives his/her right to an appeal hearing and the decision to cancel the athletic financial aid will be final and binding. The request must be sent in writing, via email, to the compliance office. A text- message, handwritten or typed letter, or message sent through other form of electronic correspondence does not qualify as a written request. The request must include all reasons why the appeal should be granted. 7. Notification of Appeal. The compliance office will notify the chair of the Appeal Committee, the Faculty Athletics Representative, head coach, sport administrator and the Director of Athletics (or designee) of the student- athlete’s appeal request.

Appeal Committee. The compliance office will forward the appeal hearing request to the Vice President of Student Life/Dean of Students, who will serve as chair, and will assemble the committee comprised of individuals outside of athlet- ics. The student-athlete may choose to participate by only providing written information but must have the opportunity to actively participate (e.g. in person, via telephone) in the appeal hearing, if requested. The appeal hearing will be conduct- ed, and written results provided to the student-athlete within 15 business days of receipt of the written request for an ap- peal hearing. If the results are not provided within that timeframe, the release shall be granted. An appeal hearing may not be conducted beyond the 15-business day period, even if requested by the student-athlete.

STUDENT-ATHLETE CONDUCT POLICY

In the event that a student-athlete is arrested, charged, convicted, or found to have committed a violation of criminal law, or there is established probable cause of a criminal act, the Director of Athletics, or his designee, will render decisions regarding the student’s status for practice and competition with the team. If a student-athlete has been charged with a felony, the student-athlete will be suspended immediately from practice and competition until resolu- tion of the charge, at which time the Director of Athletics will make a final determination of the student-athlete’s sta- tus with the team. Furthermore, if a student-athlete is involved in conduct that brings public disrespect, contempt, or ridicule upon Kansas State University and/or the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, the Director of Athletics, in consultation with the Head Coach, will render decisions regarding the student’s status for practice and competition with the team. At any point, the Director of Athletics may convene an advisory group to consider limitation or sus- pension of athletics privileges in connection with known, alleged, reported, or suspected misconduct by a student- athlete. Group advisors may include appropriate sport administrator, Faculty Athletic Representative, Student Life representative, Office of General Counsel personnel, etc.

STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT

PHILOSOPHY OF STUDENT CONDUCT At Kansas State University students have a direct and primary role in the establishment and enforcement of campus and living group policies and regulations. The basic philosophy of discipline is one of education and enforcement of community standards. Since that is the ultimate purpose, we focus on the growth and development of the student. Most efforts are directed at preventing problems, or at least correcting them, rather than concentrating on punish- ment. The responsibility for proper conduct is put upon the student, not the university, with the assumption that most students do not try to intentionally cause violations and will generally respect the rights and property of others.

The following principles govern the disciplinary process. Every effort is made to bring about outcomes that are positive for all parties involved; students will be members of all Student Governing Association judicial bodies; formal hearing processes are fundamentally fair and respect the rights of the individuals involved; confidentiality will be respected; records of proceedings will be released only on written authorization of the student(s) involved unless otherwise au- thorized by law or court order.

The procedures are outlined in the SGA Judicial Code, included in the by-laws to the SGA Constitution. Descriptions of the judicial structure and process, as well as university policies, are free and are available in the Office of Student Activities and Services in the K-State Student Union.

PROHIBITED CONDUCT Important information regarding the judicial process and student rights are available in the Office of Student Activi- ties and Services in the K-State Student Union.

POLICY PROHIBITING DISCRIMINATION, HARASSMENT, SEXUAL VIOLENCE, AND STALKING AND PROCEDURE FOR REVIEWING COMPLAINTS (The most updated policy is found at http://www.k-state.edu/policies/ppm/3000/3010.html)

.010 Policy Prohibiting Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Violence, Domestic and Dating Violence, and Stalking

A. Prohibited Conduct Kansas State University endeavors to maintain academic, housing, and work environments that are free of discrimination, harassment (including sexual harassment and sexual violence), retaliation, domestic and dating violence, and stalking. Discrimination based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, age, ances- try, disability, genetic information, military status, or veteran status is prohibited. Retaliation against a person for reporting or objecting to discrimination or harassment or for participating in an investigation or other proceeding is a violation of this Policy, whether or not discrimination or harassment occurred. This Policy is not intended for, and will not be used to, in- fringe on academic freedom or to censor or punish students, faculty, employees, or staff who exercise their legitimate First Amendment rights.

B. Jurisdiction This Policy covers discrimination, harassment (including sexual harassment and sexual violence), domestic violence, da- ting violence, stalking and retaliation occurring on campus, or otherwise within the context of University-sponsored pro- grams and activities, whether those are on campus or off campus. It applies to persons who are on campus or who other- wise participate in University-sponsored programs and activities, such as employees, students, applicants for employment or admission, contractors, vendors, visitors, and guests. Conduct that occurs off campus and outside the context of Uni- versity-sponsored programs and activities is covered by this Policy only to the extent such conduct relates to discrimina- tion, harassment, domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, or retaliation that is alleged to have occurred on-campus or in the context of a University-sponsored program or activity.

Reports and initial complaints must be submitted as soon as practicable to the Office of Institutional Equity ("OIE"), and must be submitted no later than 180 calendar days following the events on which the alleged Policy violation is based. Reports or initial complaints made within 180 calendar days to a supervisor or administrator with reporting responsibilities under Section C will be reviewed by OIE as having been made within the 180-day period.

C. Responsibilities of Persons Subject to the Policy – Reporting and Cooperation Supervisors (within their area of supervision) and administrators must make reports of possible violations of this Policy to OIE as soon as practicable upon notification (including by email if after regular business hours), must keep complaints confidential, and must protect the privacy of all parties involved in a report or complaint. Failure to do so is a violation of this Policy.

All persons covered by this Policy are required to cooperate fully in administrative reviews and to provide information, in- cluding official personnel or student files and records, and other materials that OIE and/or the ART deems necessary to complete a thorough review of complaints.

Any person who knowingly files a false complaint, who knowingly provides false or misleading information, or who violates the confidentiality provisions of this Policy, is subject to disciplinary action. No action will be taken against an individual who makes a good faith report or complaint, even if the allegations are not substantiated.

Vendors on-campus or for University programs or activities must comply with this Policy. Depending on the circumstanc- es, vendors – with the approval of OIE – may conduct investigations of their own employees and/or participate in determi- nations regarding alleged violations of this Policy. Prior to, during, and after such an investigation, the vendor will provide information as requested by OIE. OIE may require a vendor to include an OIE staff member as part of an investigation if OIE believes participation is necessary to ensure that the University's interests under this Policy are appropriately ad- dressed.

D. Confidentiality Complaints and other information obtained through this Chapter 3010 process shall not be disclosed to anyone who does not have a need to know in connection with the Chapter 3010 process. This requirement applies to reporters, complain- ants, respondents, witnesses, and any others involved with a report or complaint. The University cannot guarantee abso- lute confidentiality, but the University will endeavor to keep the matter confidential to the extent possible, consistent with preventing future acts of discrimination, harassment or retaliation, providing a remedy to persons injured, allowing re- spondents to reply to a complaint if it warrants an administrative review, and complying with applicable law. Complaints and other information may be disclosed to state or federal anti-discrimination agencies for investigations or audits, and during litigation.

E. Potential Sanctions, Remedial Actions, and Changes to Situations Persons who violate this Policy are subject to sanctions. Sanctions are determined on a case-by-case basis. They may 26 include, among other appropriate sanctions, "no contact" orders, warnings, probation, educational and/or training re- quirements, notations on transcripts, exclusion from the campus, dismissal from employment, and/or suspension or ex- pulsion from the University. Remedial actions may be taken to restore any losses suffered as a result of a violation of this Policy. Examples of remedi- al actions include, but are not limited to, reevaluation of a grade, an evaluation completed by someone other than the re- spondent, reconsideration of an application for employment, placement in a position, back pay and lost benefits, with- drawal of a disciplinary action, alteration of class schedule, or a change of housing.

With respect to alleged sexual violence, the University offers reasonable and available changes to academic, living, trans- portation, and working situations if requested, regardless of whether a criminal complaint is made to police or whether the report or complaint otherwise falls outside this Policy's jurisdiction. Certain changes may not be available unless a viola- tion of this Policy is found.

F. Training and Education The University will provide training and educational programming to promote the awareness of rape, acquaintance rape, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking to incoming students and new employees, as well as on- going campus-wide prevention and awareness campaigns regarding sexual violence and other anti-discrimination topics.

G. Exclusivity This Policy provides the University's exclusive means of review of allegations of discrimination, harassment (including sexual harassment and sexual violence), domestic and dating violence, retaliation, and stalking. The Policy shall super- sede any other University policies or procedures that conflict with it; however, nothing herein prevents the University from taking appropriate risk management measures based on a person's conduct.

.020 Definitions

A. Discrimination: In this Policy, discrimination is treating an individual adversely in employment, housing, or academic decisions based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, age, ancestry, disability, genetic information, military status, or veteran status without a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for the treatment, or maintaining seemingly neutral policies, practices, or requirements that have a disparate impact on employ- ment, on-campus housing, or academic opportunities of members of the above-listed protected categories without a valid business or academic reason.

B. Harassment: In this Policy, the term “harassment” has two different definitions, the application of which depend on where the alleged conduct takes place and its context. Harassment meeting either of these definitions is discrimination. 1. In the work, on-campus housing, or other non-academic environments, “harassment” is: Conduct toward a person or persons based on race, color, ethnic or national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, age, ancestry, disability, genetic information, military status, or veteran status that: a. has the purpose or effect of: i. creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment or on-campus housing environment for the person(s); or ii. unreasonably interfering with the work, or on-campus housing, of the person(s); and iii. is sufficiently severe or pervasive that it alters the terms, conditions, or privileges of a person’s em- ployment, use of on-campus housing, academic opportunities or participation in university- sponsored activities. 2. In the academic environment, “harassment” is: Conduct toward a person or persons based on race, color, ethnic or national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, age, ancestry, disability, genetic information, military status, or veteran status that: a. has the purpose and effect of: i. creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive educational environment for the person(s); or ii. unreasonably interfering with the academic performance or participation in any university- sponsored activity of the person; or iii. threatening the academic opportunities of the person; and b. is sufficiently severe or pervasive that it alters the terms, conditions, or privileges of the person’s academ- ic opportunities or participation in university-sponsored activities.

Whether conduct is sufficient to constitute “harassment” is evaluated under the totality of the circumstances, including the frequency of the conduct, its severity, whether it is physically threatening or humiliating, or merely an offensive utterance. These factors are evaluated from both subjective and objective viewpoints, considering not only effect that conduct actual- ly had on the person, but also the impact it would likely have had on a reasonable person in the same situation. The con- duct must subjectively and objectively meet the definition to be “harassment” to be a violation of this Policy. Repeated incidents, even where each would not, on its own, constitute harassment, may collectively constitute harassment.

Depending on the circumstances, some occurrences may require evaluation under both definitions.

27

C. Sexual Harassment: In this Policy, the term “sexual harassment” is a type of harassment that involves unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, disparagement of members of one sex, or other conduct of a sexual nature when: 1. a. submission to or rejection of such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment, education, on- campus housing, or participation in a university-sponsored activi- ty or program; or b. submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for or as a factor in decisions affecting that individual’s employment, education, on-campus housing, or participation in a university-sponsored activity or program; or c. such conduct meets either “harassment” definition in B., above; and 2. the conduct is sufficiently severe or pervasive that it alters the terms, conditions, or privileges of the person’s em- ployment, use of on-campus housing, academic opportunities, or participation in university-sponsored activities or programs.

Sexual harassment may occur between persons of the same or opposite sex, and either as single or repeated incidents. Whether conduct is sufficient to constitute “sexual harassment” is evaluated under the totality of the circumstances, in- cluding the frequency of the conduct, its severity, whether it is physically threatening or humiliating, or merely an offensive utterance. These factors are evaluated from both subjective and objective viewpoints, considering not only the effect that the conduct actually had on the person, but also the impact it would likely have had on a reasonable person in the same situation. The conduct must subjectively and objectively meet this definition to be “sexual harassment” under this Policy. Sexual harassment meeting this definition is discrimination.

D. Sexual Violence: In this Policy, the term "sexual violence" refers to a physical act of a sexual nature perpetrated against a person's will, or against a person who is so incapacitated that he or she is incapable of giving consent due to the use of drugs or alcohol, or against a person who is incapable of giving consent due to an intellectual or other disability. A number of different acts fall into the category of sexual violence, including but not limited to, rape, sexual battery, domestic violence, and dating violence. Use of alcohol or other drugs by a perpetrator or victim does not excuse acts of sexual vio- lence.

Sexual violence is considered sexual harassment, and therefore is discrimination. Criminal offenses and statutory refer- ences that constitute sexual violence under this Policy include, but are not limited to:

Rape – K.S.A. 21-5503 Sexual Battery – K.S.A. 21-5505 Sexual Exploitation of a Child – K.S.A. 21-5510 Unlawful Voluntary Sexual Relations – K.S.A. 21-5507 Indecent Liberties with a Child – K.S.A. 21-5506 Lewd and Lascivious Behavior – K.S.A. 21-5513 Aggravated Criminal Sodomy – K.S.A. 21-5504 Incest – K.S.A. 21-5604

Other definitions include: Sexual Intercourse – K.S.A. 21-5501

E. Domestic and Dating Violence: Domestic and dating violence, which is prohibited regardless of whether it is conduct of a sexual nature, includes: Domestic Violence – K.S.A. 21-5111 Dating Violence – A type of domestic violence where the perpetrator is or has been involved in a social relationship of a romantic nature with the victim. K.S.A. 21-5111(i) (1) Domestic Battery – K.S.A. 21-5414

F. Consent: Permission or an agreement for something to happen. To be consent, the person must have the capacity to consent and the permission or agreement must be knowing and given without coercion. Consent will not necessarily be inferred from silence or passivity alone. Whether someone has given consent is based on the totality of the circumstanc- es, including the context. Once consent to a sexual act has been given, consent can be withdrawn if communicated to the other person before or during that sexual act. A person has capacity to consent to a sexual act if he/she: 1. can understand the sexual nature of the proposed act, and 2. can understand that he or she has the right to refuse to participate in the act, and 3. possesses a rudimentary grasp of the possible results arising from participation in the act.

A person may be incapable of giving consent because of mental deficiency or disease, or because of the effect of any alcohol, narcotic, drug or other substance that renders the person incapacitated, when that condition is known by the of- fender or is reasonably apparent to the offender.

28

G. Stalking: In this Policy, stalking is any conduct that meets the elements of K.S.A. 21-5427(a).

H. Retaliation: In this Policy, retaliation is any materially adverse action taken against an individual because he or she has: (1) openly opposed a policy or practice the individual believed was a violation of this Policy or state or federal anti- discrimination law; (2) engaged in protected activity such as making a request for a reasonable accommodation; or (3) participated in the investigation or resolution of a report or complaint under this Policy or under state or federal anti- discrimination law. There must be a sufficient causal nexus between the protected activity and the adverse action.

I. Responsible Administrator: In this Policy, the Responsible Administrator is typically the University official with au- thority to implement the recommendations of an Administrative Review Team ("ART"), and is usually the direct supervisor of a respondent who is a University employee. In cases involving a student or graduate student as respondent, a repre- sentative of the Office of Student Life or the Graduate School, respectively, is the Responsible Administrator. In cases involving a student or graduate student as complainant, a representative of the Office of Student Life or the Graduate School may be on the ART as an additional Responsible Administrator, if requested by OIE. In cases where the respond- ent is a vendor, guest, or visitor, the official with authority over the applicable area or department where the conduct oc- curred will usually serve as the Responsible Administrator.

J. Deciding Administrator: The Deciding Administrator is always a University official with authority to implement the recommendations of an ART, and is usually the direct supervisor of a respondent who is an unclassified University em- ployee. For University Support Staff ("USS") employees, the Deciding Administrator is the Director of Employee Relations and Engagement ("DER"). In cases involving an undergraduate student as respondent, the Assistant Vice President for Student Life is the Deciding Administrator. In cases involving a graduate student as respondent, the Dean of the Graduate School is the Deciding Administrator. The Deciding Administrator will often serve as the Responsible Administrator for the same complaint. A Deciding Administrator does not serve as the Appeal Administrator regarding the same complaint, ex- cept in the case of USS employees as respondents. In cases where the respondent is a vendor, guest, or visitor, the offi- cial with authority over the applicable area or department where the conduct occurred is the Deciding Administrator.

K. Appeal Administrator: The Appeal Administrator is the direct supervisor of the Deciding Administrator, except in the case of USS employees as respondents. For USS employees, the Peer Review Committee evaluates an appeal based upon the same standards required of Appeal Administrators, makes a written recommendation to the DER, and the DER makes the final decision. If the University President is the Deciding Administrator, then there is no appeal available.

L. Reports and Complaints: A "report" under this Policy is a communication to OIE regarding a potential violation of this Policy suffered by another person. An "initial complaint" under this Policy is a communication submitted by the person who believes that they have directly suffered a violation of this Policy. A "complaint" is the totality of allegations to be in- vestigated by an ART. All reports, initial complaints, and complaints are processed under the Procedure for Reviewing Reports and Complaints.

.030 Procedure for Reviewing Reports and Complaints

Step 1-The Initial Complaint or Report. Reports or initial complaints may be submitted through OIE.

Any person making a report or initial complaint under this Policy may either (a) submit it to the Office of Institutional Equi- ty; or (b) submit it to the head of the department or unit in which the conduct occurred, but if that person's conduct is the reason for the report or initial complaint, then submit the report or initial complaint to the next higher level of supervision. Students and graduate students respectively may also submit their initial complaint to the Office of Student Life or to the Graduate School.

All reports or initial complaints received by administrators, and by supervisors for potential Policy violations within their area of supervision, must be submitted to OIE as soon as practicable in accordance with Section C, above; however, an- yone may submit a report or initial complaint directly to OIE.

It is important for all persons to preserve any relevant evidence related to a report, initial complaint, or complaint. The initial complaint or report may be oral or written. It should include as much information as possible regarding the al- leged conduct, including but not limited to: the dates and locations of the conduct; the persons involved; the effect the conduct has had on employment, learning or living environment or the complainant’s ability to participate in university pro- grams or activities; and the name and title of the person alleged to have engaged in the conduct.

29

In the event that a person discusses a sexual violence, domestic or dating violence, or stalking matter with a Center for Advocacy Response and Education ("CARE") staff member, the CARE staff member should interview the complainant, with the understanding that the CARE staff member may, but is not obligated to make a report to OIE or other appropriate University body unless there is an imminent risk of future harm. The CARE staff member will explain this Policy and that OIE is the point of contact for implementing this Policy to the person, encourage the person to make a report under the Policy, and ask whether the person would prefer keeping the information undisclosed by not referring it for processing by OIE. The University encourages reporting to OIE whenever the matter involves prohibited conduct under this Policy, so that it can process the matter under this Policy. Regardless of whether the information results in processing under this Policy, CARE will provide support and advocacy services to the extent feasible. Although this Policy protects confidentiali- ty by limiting knowledge of complaints to those persons with a need to know, the University cannot ensure complete con- fidentiality.

If a person believes that criminal conduct has occurred, then the person should report that conduct to the police. CARE staff should also encourage the person to file a complaint with the police and will provide assistance in doing so if asked. The CARE staff member will also advise the person that he/she may decline to notify the police directly. The criminal jus- tice system and this Policy are separate procedures, however, and complaints/reports must be made under both proce- dures if a complainant wants both processes to go forward. Persons may also request a protection from abuse order from a court under the Protection from Stalking Act, K.S.A. 60-31a01, et seq. KSU police will enforce such orders on campus.

Step 2-Initial Determination Regarding Jurisdiction and Validity All reports and initial complaints are processed by OIE. Upon receipt of a report or initial complaint, OIE makes an initial evaluation to determine if there is jurisdiction to investigate a violation of this Policy, and whether the alleged conduct, if true, would constitute a violation of this Policy. If there is no jurisdiction or if the allegations would not constitute a violation of this Policy, even if true, then OIE will notify the complainant and/or the person making the report that the circumstances do not warrant further review under this Policy. That notice will explain OIE's decision and refer the complainant to the appropriate University office, if any. This determination by OIE is final and not subject to further review within the Universi- ty.

If there is jurisdiction and if the allegations would constitute a violation if true, then OIE will move forward to form an Ad- ministrative Review Team (ART) as described in Step 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if additional facts are needed before making the determination regarding jurisdiction and/or whether the conduct, if true, would constitute a violation of this Policy, then OIE may form an ART, which would then perform the initial evaluation as described in Step 4.

Step-3-Formation of the Administrative Review Team If OIE determines that a report or initial complaint warrants a review after OIE's initial evaluation, OIE will inform the ap- propriate Responsible Administrator(s), unless that person's conduct is the reason for the initial complaint. Depending on the circumstances, OIE may ask the president, provost and senior vice president, a vice president, an associate vice pres- ident, or a dean to designate the Responsible Administrator to serve on the ART. The OIE staff member and the Respon- sible Administrator(s) become the ART for the complaint. OIE staff members receive regular training regarding this Policy and how to conduct investigations under it, and they provide training to the other member(s) of the ART.

Step 4- Administrative Review Team's Initial Evaluation of the Complaint The ART will interview the complainant as soon as possible so that the ART members hear the initial complaint and get sufficient information to decide how to process it. If the ART determines after initial evaluation that there is no jurisdiction or the alleged conduct, even if true, would not constitute a violation of this Policy, then the ART will notify the complainant that the initial complaint does not warrant further review under this Policy. That notice will explain the ART's decision and refer the complainant to the appropriate University office, if any. This determination by the ART is final and not subject to further review within the University.

A complainant's failure or refusal to participate in the ART process may prevent the ART from investigating the alleged conduct. To the extent possible, the ART will proceed with an investigation if a report or initial complaint alleges conduct that would constitute a violation of this Policy.

Step 5-Written Complaint If the ART determines that the alleged conduct, if true, would constitute a violation of this Policy, the ART will obtain or produce a written complaint and conduct a thorough, prompt, fair and impartial investigation, as set forth in the steps be- low. If the complainant does not prepare the written complaint, then the ART will ask the complainant to read and, if nec- essary, to make corrections for accuracy and sign the complaint. If the complainant does not sign the complaint, the ART may still move forward with the unsigned complaint.

Step 6-Investigation If the complaint warrants an investigation, the ART will inform the respondent of the content of the complaint and allow a full opportunity to be heard.

30

The ART will: 1. Meet with the respondent to provide a copy of the complaint, explain procedures, caution against retaliation, ask the respondent questions pertaining to the complaint, provide an opportunity for respondent to provide an oral or written response within ten (10) calendar days, and inform the respondent that the review will proceed with or without the response; 2. Receive, clarify and evaluate the respondent's response to the complaint, if a response is made; and 3. Interview any persons with specific knowledge of the alleged incident(s) and review relevant policies, proce- dures, files, documents, and records.

Complainants, respondents, and witnesses are generally not permitted to have an individual accompany them to inter- views with the ART. If sexual violence, domestic or dating violence, or stalking is alleged, then the complainant and re- spondent may be accompanied to any related meeting or proceeding by one advisor of their choice. The complainant and respondent shall provide prior notice to OIE that an advisor will attend and whether their advisor is an attorney. Advisors (including attorneys) are not permitted to participate during the interview, other than to speak to their advisee. An advisor who disrupts the process (as determined by the ART) may be excluded from the interview. An investigation shall not be delayed more than one time on account of an advisor.

Step 7-Determination and Written Report The ART will consider all of the information it gathered and decide whether or not the respondent violated this Policy, based on the preponderance of the evidence. Possible outcome of the review is either: (1) a finding of no violation of this Policy; or (2) a finding of violation of this Policy. If the ART determines that the respondent did not violate this Policy, it will provide the complainant, the respondent, and the Deciding Administrator a written report that describes the review, makes findings of fact and any recommendations, and describes what the complainant must to do to file an appeal. If the ART determines that the respondent violated this Policy, it will prepare a written report to the Deciding Administrator that de- scribes the review, makes findings of fact, and provides recommendations for sanctions (and, if applicable, remedial ac- tions, referrals, and follow-up). The complainant and the respondent shall be provided a copy of the written report at the same time as the Deciding Administrator.

The time required for reviews will vary; however, the goal is to complete reviews within 60 calendar days. But many fac- tors, such as availability of witnesses and responsiveness of the parties or witnesses, can increase the time required for an investigation. Complainants and respondents may request a status update from OIE at any time.

Step 8-Appeal if No Violation Found If the ART determines that there was no violation of this Policy, then the complainant may submit an appeal to the Decid- ing Administrator. That appeal must be submitted in writing to the Deciding Administrator within ten (10) calendar days from the date the ART’s written report was issued. The appeal must state every ground on which the appeal is based. On appeal, the Deciding Administrator does not conduct a new investigation. The Deciding Administrator may only de- cide, based upon the written information presented and the ART’s file, whether the ART’s determination was “clearly erro- neous” (i.e., plainly in error). The Deciding Administrator will defer to the ART for all credibility decisions (e.g., who is tell- ing the truth). If an error(s) was made that would not have changed the determination (i.e., “harmless error”), then that error must be disregarded. In the event that a Deciding Administrator decides that an ART finding is clearly erroneous, the Deciding Administrator shall refer the matter back to the ART for further investigation and shall provide the ART with a specific written basis for the “clearly erroneous” determination.

If the Deciding Administrator determines that the ART’s findings are not clearly erroneous, then the Deciding Administra- tor’s ruling is final and not subject to further review within the University. The Deciding Administrator should rule on an appeal in a timely fashion, preferably within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the appeal. Rulings should be made in writing, with copies to the complainant, respondent, OIE, and the Office of General Counsel.

Step 9-Decision on Sanction if Violation Found If the ART determines that this Policy was violated, then the ART will make a recommendation regarding sanctions in its written report. The Deciding Administrator decides the sanctions and is responsible for ensuring compliance with the sanctions. Within ten (10) calendar days from the date the ART’s written report was issued, the complainant and re- spondent may submit written comments to the Deciding Administrator regarding the ART report. Decisions on sanctions should be made in a timely fashion after the expiration of the ten (10) day comment period, and preferably within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the ART’s report. Once sanctions are decided, they shall be implemented immediately, regardless of whether the complainant or respondent intends to appeal.

If the Deciding Administrator determines, based on the written submissions during the comment period and the ART’s file, that the ART’s Policy violation determination was clearly erroneous, as defined in Step 8, then the Deciding Administrator shall remand the matter back to the ART for further investigation and shall provide the ART, complainant, and respondent with a specific written basis for the “clearly erroneous” determination. The process then returns to Step 6. A decision to remand to the ART is not subject to appeal.

31

Decisions should be made in writing, with copies to the complainant, respondent, OIE, and the Office of General Counsel. Decisions that impose sanctions should identify the appropriate Appeal Administrator and the ten-day period in which an appeal must be submitted.

Step 10-Appeal of a Sanction If the Deciding Administrator imposes a sanction, then a written appeal by either the complainant or respondent may be submitted to the Appeal Administrator within ten (10) calendar days from the date of the Deciding Administrator’s written decision.

A respondent’s appeal must be in writing and the appeal must state every ground on which the appeal is based. A com- plainant’s appeal must be in writing, must state every ground on which the appeal is based, and may appeal only the se- verity of the sanction(s).

On appeal, the Appeal Administrator does not conduct a new investigation. The appeal may only decide, based upon the written information, whether the ART’s violation determination and/or the Deciding Administrator’s sanctions were “arbi- trary and capricious.” This means that there must be no reasonable basis, under circumstances presented, to uphold the sanctions imposed by the Deciding Administrator. The Appeal Administrator must defer to the ART for all credibility deci- sions (e.g., who is telling the truth). A Deciding Administrator who follows the ART’s recommended sanction will be pre- sumed not to have acted arbitrarily or capriciously, unless conclusively demonstrated otherwise.

If the Appeal Administrator determines that the ART’s Policy violation determination was arbitrary and capricious, then the Appeal Administrator shall remand the matter back to the ART for further investigation and shall provide the ART with a specific written basis for the “arbitrary and capricious” determination. The process then returns to Step 6. A decision to remand to the ART is not subject to appeal.

If the Appeal Administrator determines only that the Deciding Administrator’s sanctions are arbitrary and capricious, then the Appeal Administrator shall refer the matter back to the Deciding Administrator for further review and shall provide the Deciding Administrator with a specific written basis for the “arbitrary and capricious” determination. The process then re- turns to Step 9. A decision to remand to the Deciding Administrator is not subject to appeal.

The Appeal Administrator should rule on an appeal in a timely fashion, preferably within thirty (30) calendar days after re- ceipt of the appeal. Rulings should be made in writing, with copies to the complainant, respondent, OIE, and the Office of General Counsel. A ruling by the Appeal Administrator that affirms the Deciding Administrator’s decision is not subject to further review within the University.

.035 Procedure for Reviewing Certain Domestic Violence Complaints in Student Housing

For complaints of domestic violence that involve roommates who have not been in a sexual relationship or a social rela- tionship of a romantic nature, and that allegedly occurred in non-family, University-operated student housing, then the in- vestigation shall be conducted by Housing & Dining under its agreement termination procedures and applying the defini- tions found in this Policy. If Housing & Dining determines that there has been a violation of this Policy, then it shall refer the matter to the Student Review Board, as well as take appropriate action under its agreement termination procedures. Complaints of domestic violence that do not meet these specific circumstances shall be reviewed under .030 Procedure for Reviewing Reports and Complaints.

STUDENT-ATHLETE HAZING POLICY The K-State Athletics Department supports only constructive, educational and inspirational activities that contribute to the intellectual and personal development of students. K-State unequivocally opposes any situation created intentionally to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment or ridicule.

K-State interprets hazing as any act-whether physical, mental, emotional or psychological – that subjects another person, voluntarily or involuntarily, to anything that may abuse, mistreat, degrade, humiliate, harass or intimidate the person, or which may in any fashion compromise the inherent dignity of the person. In addition, any requirements by a team member that compels another member to participate in any activity which is against University policy or state/federal law will be defined as hazing.

Actions and activities that are prohibited include, but are not limited to the following: ➢ Any type of initiation or other activity where there is an expectation of individuals joining a particular team to participate in behavior designed to humiliate, degrade or abuse them regardless of the individual’s willingness to participate; ➢ Forcing, requiring or pressuring an individual to consume alcohol or any other substance; ➢ Forcing, requiring or pressuring any individual to shave any part of his/her body; ➢ Any requirement or pressure put on an individual to participate in an activity that is illegal, perverse, publicly indecent, contrary to genuine morals and/or beliefs (e.g., public profanity, indecent or lewd conduct or sexual gestures); ➢ Any activity or action that creates a risk to the health, safety or property of the University or any members of its community; ➢ Forcing or requiring calisthenics (e.g., push-ups, sit-ups, etc.) or any other physical activity; ➢ Pranks; ➢ Physical abuse of any kind; ➢ Nudity at any time; ➢ Forced viewing of pornographic material; ➢ Awakening or disturbing individuals during normal sleeping hours; and ➢ Subjecting a team member to cruel and unusual psychological or physical conditions.

K-STATE SPORTS MEDICINE MEDICAL CARE AND INSURANCE PROCEDURES

K-State Athletics, Inc. (KSA) is committed to providing the best medical care to intercollegiate student-athletes. The stu- dent-athlete will have immediate care if injured, continual care of rehabilitation, preventive medicine and measures applied at any time because of athletic-related injuries (ARI). The Director of Sports Medicine coordinates the student-athlete medical policy.

Medical Certification for Individual Student-Athlete Participation KSA requires all student-athletes to complete a pre-participation physical examination prior to the student-athlete being issued equipment, participating in any practice or strength and conditioning session, or competing in any intercollegiate athletic activities. The pre-participation physical examination MUST be administered by a KSA Team Physician and a returning physical examination and medical history form must be completed on an annual basis. The examination in- cludes, but is not limited to:

1. Completion of a Health Insurance/Authorization Form; 2. A photocopy (Front & back) of the student-athlete’s current health insurance card and prescription benefits card; 3. Completion of the Medical History Questionnaire for incoming freshman/transfer student-athletes, and a Returning Examination Form for returning student-athletes; 4. Completion of a Medical Examination and Authorization Waiver; 5. Completion of a Pre-Participation Physical Examination Form by a Team Physician; 6. Completion of Medical Release Authorization Form; 7. Completion of a blood test for incoming freshman/transfer student-athletes to screen for sickle-cell ane- mia/trait. 8. Completion of ImPact and C3 Logix baseline testing.

Selected individuals may be required to complete additional tests and/or examinations as needed. Upon successful com- pletion of the pre-participation physical examination process, the student-athlete will receive approval/certification from the KSA Sports Medicine Staff to be issued equipment, to participate in practice and strength and conditioning sessions, and to compete.

Individuals with only one paired organ (e.g., kidney) or other condition that is medically contraindicated for athletic partici- pation (e.g., spinal stenosis in football) may be medically retired as an athletics’ team member from participation. This decision is made by a panel of the Team Physician and the Director of Sports Medicine. The Director of Athletics or his/her designee may participate in the medical retirement meeting to understand the reasons for the panel’s decision but may not challenge the panel’s decision. The student-athlete will be provided notice, and a reasonable opportunity to submit medical information and to be heard, before the panel makes its decision. The panel’s decision is final within the university and is not subject to appeal.

In the event that a prospective student-athlete has a medical condition that is medically contraindicated for athletic partici- pation, the prospective student-athlete may be disqualified from candidacy as a prospect by a panel of the Team Physi- cian and the Director of Sports Medicine. The applicable head coach or his/her designee may participate in the medical disqualification meeting to understand the reasons for the panel’s decision but may not challenge the panel’s decision. This decision is final within the university and is not subject to appeal.

If, for any reason, the student-athlete is not approved for intercollegiate athletics participation, he/she will be no- tified by the KSA Team Physician and/or a member of the KSA Sports Medicine Department at the end of the pre- participation physical examination.

No member of KSA will permit a student-athlete to participate, nor will KSA provide insurance coverage to any student- athlete who has not completed the pre-participation physical examination procedure each year.

Exit Physical Examinations Every student-athlete shall schedule an appointment with a member of the KSA Sports Medicine Department prior to the conclusion of every spring academic term for an “End of Season Medical Questionnaire.” This will include a review of all injuries and/or illnesses received during participation throughout the year and referral for follow-up, if warranted. Any student-athlete who fails to notify a member of the Sports Medicine Staff of any injury (ARI) or illness within two (2) weeks following the last KSA participation date will release KSA of all financial responsibility for the injury or illness.

Upon exhaustion of eligibility, every student-athlete must schedule an appointment within two (2) weeks with a member of the KSA Sports Medicine Department to complete an Exit Medical Release Questionnaire. Failure to schedule this ap- pointment and complete the Exit Medical Release Questionnaire within two (2) weeks of exhausting eligibility will 34 disqualify the student-athlete from receiving any future medical benefits or related payments from KSA or Kan- sas State University. This process replaces the Exit/End of Season Medical Questionnaire for these student-athletes.

Insurance Coverage of Student-Athletes ALL STUDENT-ATHLETES SHOULD BE COVERED BY SOME TYPE OF INDIVIDUAL HEALTH INSURANCE BE- FORE PARTICIPATING IN ANY PRACTICE, GAME, AND/OR COMPETITION. The student-athlete’s insurance should cover athletic related injuries and/or illnesses and should be considered the PRIMARY insurance coverage for all athletic related injuries. The student-athlete must complete a Health Insurance and Authorization Form and supply a photocopy (front & back) of the health insurance card on a yearly basis.

KSA provides a medical and catastrophic insurance program for its student-athletes. THIS POLICY IS SECONDARY TO, OR IN EXCESS OF, PERSONAL FAMILY MEDICAL INSURANCE COVERAGE, and covers only injuries resulting from the direct participation in the intercollegiate athletics program during the dates of the primary competitive season and des- ignated off-seasons as approved by the Director of Athletics and NCAA regulations.

104-Week Limitation on Secondary Insurance Coverage KSA medical and catastrophic insurance program will pay for the excess of the “Necessary” medical treatment up to the “Usual” and “Customary” charges for such expense incurred within 104 weeks (2 years) from the initial date of the injury/accident. The sport specific athletic trainer should keep track of the 104-week time period and notify the Director of Sports Medicine of any cases approaching the 104-week limit.

Compliance with Insurance Company Requests: It is the responsibility of the student-athlete and his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) to understand the conditions that apply to their policy and to comply with any request for information, etc. from their insurance company. KSA is not responsible for negative credit reports due to non-compliance with insurance company requests, including negative reports that result from late payment(s).

If a student-athlete and/or his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) receives payment/reimbursement directly from their insurance company for ARI claims, the full account balance becomes the responsibility of the student-athlete and/or his/her parent(s)/guardian(s), until payment is turned over to the provider.

HMOs If a student-athlete’s primary insurance is an HMO, KSA strongly encourages the student-athlete and/or his/her par- ent(s)/guardian(s) to change the primary care physician (PCP) to a KSA Team Physician or local physician. This will al- low the student-athlete to have a network of physicians in the Manhattan area, as well as better access to care. A mem- ber of the Sports Medicine Staff can assist in this process.

Insurance Policy Changes The KSA Sports Medicine Staff must receive any changes to a health insurance policy as soon as they occur. If proper notification is not received, KSA is not responsible for any delays in payment, collections, notices, credit reports, etc. that occur.

Medical Bills If a student-athlete should receive a bill/statement for an ARI that occurred as a direct result of participation in intercolle- giate athletics at Kansas State University, the student-athlete must submit the bill/statement to a KSA certified athletic trainer in a timely manner. Bills not received in a timely manner are the responsibility of the student-athlete and/or the student-athlete’s parent(s)/guardian(s). KSA IS NOT responsible for any delays in payment, collections no- tices, credit reports, etc. that occur due to bills not being submitted in timely manner.

Exclusions and Limitations K-State Athletics’ secondary insurance policy and its secondary responsibility for non-covered medical expenses WILL NOT typically apply to the situations indicated below. This list is not all-inclusive.

• Injuries that are not the direct result of intercollegiate athletics participation during the dates of the competitive season and designated off-seasons as approved by the Director of Athletics according to NCAA regulations. • Any elective or routine treatment, surgery, health treatment, or examination including any service, treatment of supplies that: (a) are deemed by the secondary insurance provider to be experimental or investigational; and (b) are not recognized and generally accepted medical practice in the United States. • Cosmetic surgery, except for reconstructive surgery needed as the result of an ARI. • Injuries that are a result of intramural, club sports, and recreational activities (non-intercollegiate activities). • Injuries that are recurrences of old injuries that were sustained before participation in the intercollegiate sports program. • Expenses for injuries incurred after completion of the student athlete’s intercollegiate athletic eligibility. • Medical expenses beyond the limitations and exclusions of, or not covered by the KSA secondary insurance policy. • If a student-athlete fails to complete an Exit Medical Release Questionnaire within two (2) weeks of exhausting eligibility.

Any unpaid balances due to an exclusion or limitation above are the sole responsibility of the student-athlete and/or the student-athlete’s parent(s)/guardian(s). Because there are many situations that would not be covered by KSA, the importance of having some form of personal health insurance coverage cannot be overemphasized.

The Master Policy on file with K-State Athletics, Inc. contains all the provisions, limitations, exclusions, and qualifications of the KSA insurance policy, some of which may not be included within this document. If any discrepancy exists between this document and the Policy, the Master Policy will govern and control the payment of benefits.

Athletic Training Room Guidelines Athletic Training Room hours shall be posted at each facility. Treatments are given to intercollegiate student-athletes on- ly. The Department’s liability insurance does not cover “freelance work.” High school and recreational athletes must be referred to community practitioners.

Since all facilities are co-ed, proper attire is required.

All procedures will be done by the certified athletic trainers. (Modalities, whirlpools, electrotherapy, etc.) No self- treatment will be allowed.

All student-athletes shall shower following practices before treatments will be given, except in emergency situations. Ex- cess belongings should not be brought into the athletic training room due to space limitations.

Athletic Training Room equipment and supplies must remain in the facility unless a member of the Sports Medicine Staff permits it.

All injured student-athletes must report for treatment as scheduled with the Sports Medicine Staff. Failure of a student- athlete to keep athletic training room or medical appointments will be reported to the Head Coach of their respective sport for disciplinary action, and KSA may discontinue providing further treatments or medical benefits in its sole discretion. Coaches will receive daily information on the medical participation status of their teams, as well as, treatment compliance.

Injury/Illness Reporting Procedures Any certified intercollegiate athletics participant who is injured/becomes ill must IMMEDIATELY report the injury/illness to a member of the Sports Medicine Staff. Costs pertaining to an injury and/or illness not reported in a timely manner (in- cluding an ARI) are the responsibility of the student-athlete and/or his/her parent(s)/guardian(s).

Non-Sport Related Injury/Illness Procedures KSA may assume financial responsibility for injuries and illness that are not directly related to participation in the intercol- legiate athletics program (non-ARI) (e.g. cold, cough, flu, etc.) at the discretion of the Director of Sports Medicine.

Missed Doctor’s Appointment Policy Student-athletes who are late and/or fail to show-up for a scheduled appointment with a team physician, medical consulta- tions, counseling and/or diagnostic tests/procedures can be held financially responsible for any and all charges resulting from the missed appointment. In addition, the student-athlete may be responsible for re-scheduling the appointment.

36

Contact Lens Policy Scholarship student-athletes in need of an eye exam and/or contact lenses will be referred to eye doctors by a member of the Sports Medicine Staff. Student-athletes will receive an applicable supply of contact lenses. At least one pair of lenses will be kept by the student-athlete’s certified athletic trainer in case of emergency. Student athlete’s may not:

• Schedule an appointment without prior authorization and the proper referral form from a member of the Sports Medicine Staff; • Receive colored and/or novelty contact lenses; and/or • Receive glasses/sunglasses in lieu of contact lenses unless prior authorization is granted from the Director of Sports Medicine.

“Out-of-town” Physical Therapy/Rehabilitation Procedures At times, it may be necessary for a student-athlete to utilize an “out-of-town” physical therapy facility. In such situations, permission must be granted from the Director of Sports Medicine and/or his/her designee. Such referrals must come from a member of the KSA Sports Medicine Staff. If a student-athlete decides to utilize physical therapy/rehabilitation services without authorization from a member of the Sports Medicine Department, the student-athlete and/or the student-athlete’s parent(s)/guardian(s) are financially responsible for any and all medical bills incurred.

Medical Referrals/Consultations

Referral appointments are made by the Athletic Training Staff. Practitioner visits without being referred, or without a signed referral form, are the financial responsibility of the student-athlete and/or his/her parent(s)/guardian(s).

Medical Referral Protocol for Athletic-Related Injuries

1. Student-athlete reports injury/illness to the staff athletic trainer(s) associated with their respective sport.

2. The athletic training staff provides initial assessment/management for present injury/illness and refers to Team Physician (or practitioner), if necessary.

3. If the athletic trainer refers a student-athlete to a Team Physician, then at this time the Team Physician that the student-athlete has been referred to, assumes and is responsible for all care provided to the student-athlete. a. All procedures, diagnostic studies, and additional services that are prescribed by the Team Physician are the financial responsibility of the Athletic Department, if it is an athletic-related injury (ARI). b. If the present injury warrants a consultation from an additional practitioner, then the attending Team Phy- sician will determine and contact the appropriate medical provider for further care of the student-athlete for the present situation. All medical services and charges occurred as a result of this referral will be the responsibility of the Athletic Department until the injury is completely resolved.

4. If the student-athlete and his/her family request another opinion outside of the KSU Sports Medicine staff and the attending Team Physician concurs, the referral will be covered financially; otherwise the student-athlete will be fi- nancially responsible.

5. If the Team Physician has referred the student-athlete for another opinion and the family requests a third opinion, then the student-athlete is financially responsible for the additional opinion.

6. After all opinions have been completed, no matter the original source of referral, the final decision of return to par- ticipation/competition will be the decision of the Team Physician and KSA Sports Medicine staff.

**In case of emergencies occurring outside of training room hours, contact the staff athletic trainer working with the re- spective sport/team. If a member of the athletic training staff cannot be contacted, the hospital should be consulted. Any true medical emergencies should receive care as soon as possible and the athletic trainer(s) should be notified as soon as possible for follow-up**

If any discrepancy exists between this document and the Medical Referral Policy, the Medical Referral Policy will govern and control the payment of benefits.

Dental Care: The KSA accident insurance program will assume financial responsibility for dental care, to sound and natural teeth, re- sulting from the direct participation in the intercollegiate athletics program as approved by the Director of Sports Medicine and/or his/her designee according to NCAA regulations. As with other injuries, this is secondary to, or in excess of, per- sonal family medical insurance coverage.

37

Request/Appeal Process for Medical Coverage In accordance with NCAA Bylaw 16.4, a student-athlete who wishes to request medical coverage for an ARI after completing their Exit Medical Questionnaire may do so by submitting their request in writing to the Director of Sports Medicine. The request should include all reasons why medical coverage should be considered.

Within three (3) business days of receipt of written notification, the Director of Athletics and/or his/her designee will respond with their decision. This decision will include reason as to why or why not medical coverage will be granted.

If the student-athlete wishes to appeal the medical coverage decision, they may request an appeal in writing to the Director of Compliance within seven (7) business days of receiving the decision from the Director of Athletics and/or his/her designee. The Director of Compliance will send the appeal request to the campus appeal committee. The chair of the campus appeal committee will convene a hearing within seven (7) business days of receiving the request from compliance.

During the hearing, the student-athlete will have an opportunity to be heard and present evidence concerning their reasoning for the medical coverage. The student-athlete may be accompanied by up to two support persons, including an attorney and/or one other person of his or her choice. The student athlete’s support persons may confer with one another and the student-athlete, but support persons will not be permitted to address the committee.

Written notification of the appeal committee’s decision will be provided immediately following the hearing to the student- athlete, the director of athletics and the director of compliance. The committee’s decision will be final.

STUDENT-ATHLETE DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICY 2019-2020

The Kansas State University Department of Athletics (“KSA”) requires that each student-athlete (hereinafter defined) comply with the NCAA, Big 12 Conference and institutional policies regarding substance use/abuse. KSA is concerned with the health, safety and welfare of its student-athletes. Substance use/abuse is one of the most important issues facing athletics and society today. The use of illegal drugs, misuse of legal drugs and dietary supplements, use of performance- enhancing substances, use of alcohol and inappropriate use of tobacco are inconsistent with the standards expected of student-athletes at Kansas State University. Substance use/abuse in sport can pose risks to the student-athlete’s health and negatively affect his/her academic and athletic performance. Additionally, substance use/abuse can compromise the integrity of athletic competition and the ideals of Kansas State University. This KSA Student-Athlete Drug and Alcohol Policy (“Policy”) was developed to ensure the safety and quality of athletics. The KSA Director of Sports Medicine and/or his designee shall coordinate this Policy. Changes to this policy, including sanctions, can be made at any time without notice to the student-athlete.

This Policy represents the KSA policy on substance use/abuse and testing for student-athletes. Each student-athlete is also subject to the NCAA and Big 12 Conference testing programs, which are separate and distinct from this Policy. Sanctions imposed for violations of the NCAA and Big 12 Conference testing programs are also separate and distinct from this Policy, and it is the responsibility of the student-athlete to ensure they are in compliance with all such policies. Attached to this Policy is a Kansas State University Student-Athlete Acknowledgement of Drug-Testing Sanctions Consent (Attachment B), which details the sanctions relative to the separate programs. PLEASE NOTE, THE NCAA AND BIG 12 CONFERENCE SANCTIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANY TIME WITHOUT NOTICE. Additional information regarding the NCAA and Big 12 Conference substance abuse programs and policies may be found on their respective websites.

This Policy does not represent a contract between the student-athlete and the University. For the purposes of this Policy, “student-athlete” shall mean any University student who participates on any KSA team.

Drug and Alcohol Education

Student-athletes will be provided with information regarding the use of illegal substances, misuse of alcohol and the dangers of using reputedly performance-enhancing substances such as anabolic steroids and nutritional supplements. The education program will draw upon the specialized skill of KSA personnel as well as resources outside the institution to inform student-athletes concerning the physical and psychological consequences of drug use and abuse.

The Policy and administration procedures will be provided to each student-athlete at pre-season annual team meetings. Additionally, each student-athlete will be educated on the use of legal and illegal substances and nutritional supplements and their risks.

A University Drug Testing Informed Consent form (Attachment A) stating that the student-athlete has read this Policy and program statement and has agreed to participate in the program will be required of each student-athlete prior to participation in any athletic program. Participation in KSA is a privilege and no student-athlete will be permitted to participate in any 38 athletic program until he/she has executed and returned the following documents to the Director of Sports Medicine or his designee:

1. Kansas State University Drug Testing Informed Consent (Attachment A) 2. Kansas State University Student-Athlete Acknowledgement of Sanctions (Attachment B)

Student-athletes are encouraged to utilize campus counseling services and are made aware of health and safety, alcohol and other drug guidelines by the Sports Medicine staff, coaches, and the compliance staff. Student-athletes are encouraged to utilize resources provided by the Sports Medicine staff and the compliance staff, such as the NCAA Sports Science Institute website (www.ncaa.org) and the Drug Free Sport AXIS website (www.dfaxis.com), during pre- participation physicals and a series of educational sessions provided throughout the year. Coaches are also educated by the Sports Medicine staff in their ability to play an important role in identification and appropriate referral of student- athletes with health and safety concerns.

Student-athletes should always check with the Director of Sports Medicine and/or his/her de- signee prior to using any supplement or medication. Student-athletes should not take any medications or supplements unless they are approved by their respective athletic trainer. However, there is no guarantee that a supplement approved by an athletic trainer or Team Physician does NOT contain a contaminant or unlisted prohibited substance that could create a positive drug test.

NCAA POLICY STATES THAT ANY PROHIBITED SUBSTANCE DISCOVERED ON A DRUG TEST IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT-ATHLETE. If the substance is determined to have come from a contaminated supplement, penalties will still apply to that student-athlete. Therefore, all student-athletes are cautioned against ingesting any supplements other than those approved by KSA.

TOBACCO POLICY

As required by NCAA rules, the use of tobacco products is prohibited by all game personnel (e.g., coaches, student- athletes, athletic trainers, managers and game officials) in all sports during practice and competition. A student-athlete who violates this tobacco policy will be sanctioned for a “first offense” as outlined in the penalty section of this policy. The Director of Athletics or his/her designee will sanction other game personnel who violate this tobacco policy on a case-by- case basis.

ALCOHOL POLICY

It is the responsibility of every member of the University community to be aware of the risks associated with alcohol use and abuse. KSA views the use of alcohol to be incompatible with the goal of athletic excellence. Student-athletes are required to conduct themselves in accordance with University policies, and federal, state and local laws regarding alcohol consumption. This extends to the recruitment of prospective student-athletes. It should be understood that possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages by individuals under the age of 21 is a violation of state liquor laws. Likewise, it is illegal for anyone to supply alcoholic beverages to persons under the age of 21. Prospective student-athletes visiting campus and socializing with current students are not permitted to participate in any activities that involve the use of alcohol.

An alcohol-related charge of DUI, conviction or plea of guilty to such charge by any student-athlete will result in the sanc- tions imposed herein for positive drug tests. Each DUI charge, conviction or plea of guilty will be viewed as a separate offense and are cumulative. Other alcohol-related citations (MIP, open container) may result in sanctions as deemed ap- propriate by the Director of Athletics and/or the head coach.”

KSA may also suspend any student-athlete upon a charge, conviction or plea of guilty to any of the following:

1.1.* Driving under the influence (DUI/DWI) or other motor vehicle violations involving alcohol or drugs; 1.2.* Public intoxication; 1.3.* Drunk and disorderly conduct; 1.4.* Other violations of local, state, or federal law involving alcohol or drugs, including possession; 1.5.* Other violations of local, state, or federal law involving alcohol or drugs and acts of violence; 1.6.* Violations of the Kansas State University Student Code of Conduct involving alcohol or drugs; or 1.7.* Minor in Possession.

Screening for Use of Illicit Drugs

39

All student-athletes will be subject to random testing throughout the academic year and summer. Additionally, any student-athlete may be required to be tested if a member of the athletic staff, having an opportunity to observe the student-athlete's behavior, physical condition or performance, concludes that there is reasonable cause to suspect drug usage.

All student-athletes in post-season competition may be tested for drug usage before competition. Additionally, the University reserves the right to test all student-athletes and will require all student-athletes, who have tested positive, to be re-tested prior to a return from a participation suspension. By signing the Drug Testing Informed Consent (Attachment A), the student-athlete agrees that any test result may be released to the Director of Athletics, the senior compliance administrator, the Director of Sports Medicine and/or his designee, the respective sport administrator and/or the student- athlete’s head coach.

TESTING NOTIFICATION / TEST

Upon selection for testing, student-athletes will be notified by phone or face to face prior to testing by the student-athlete’s coach, the Director of Sports Medicine and/or designee, or a member of the KSA administration. Notification will take place no more than 48 hours before the scheduled test. Upon notification, the student-athlete will be asked to read and sign a Kansas State University Drug and Alcohol Policy Notification Form (Attachment C) notifying him/her of the date, time, and site of the testing as well as any other special instructions pertinent to the test. The student-athlete will be instructed to report to the test site with a picture ID. If a student-athlete does not report at the scheduled time for his/her test, he/she will be sanctioned appropriately for his/her action. A "no show" will be interpreted as a positive test result and the student-athlete may be subject to penalties and sanctions at the discretion of the Director of Athletics. Any attempted manipulation or substitution of the sample by the student-athlete will be interpreted as a positive test result and the student-athlete may be subject to penalties and sanctions at the discretion of the Director of Athletics.

The drug screening process may include analysis of, but is not limited to, the NCAA Banned Drug List (Appendix 1). For an ongoing updated listing of the NCAA Banned-Drug Classes List view the NCAA’s web site at www.ncaa.org. Please note, the University reserves the right to test for substances not listed on the NCAA list of banned substances and may test at lower cut-off levels than the NCAA testing program. The KSA requires that all student-athletes keep the athletic training staff and/or the Director of Sports Medicine aware of any prescribed drugs and nutritional supplements that he/she may be taking.

Notification of Results

An off-campus contracted provider will communicate the results of the tests to the Director of Sports Medicine and/or his designee. If a drug test is positive, the Director of Sports Medicine and/or his designee will then notify the student-athlete and any other party as described in this Policy of such result. All results will be kept confidential.

SELF-REFERRAL

One time during his/her athletic career at Kansas State, a student-athlete may refer himself/herself for evaluation or coun- seling by first contacting a member of the coaching staff, an athletic trainer or sport administrator, who will then contact the compliance administrator. A student-athlete may not initiate self-referral after he/she has been informed of their participation in an impending drug test. This self-referral will be held strictly confidential and no University administra- tive sanctions will be imposed upon the student-athlete because he/she has made a personal decision to seek profes- sional assistance. A treatment plan will be put into place and the student-athlete will not be sanctioned for entry into treatment. Once in the self-referral period, a baseline test will be administered. The student-athlete will continue to be tested on a regular basis and will remain in self-referral until such time as the test results are negative. Once the test re- sults are negative, the student-athlete will be subject to the applicable sanctions for all subsequent positive tests.

Implications of Positive Test Results for Kansas State University Drug Test

***THESE SANCTIONS ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH NCAA OR BIG 12 TESTING***

Any student-athlete testing positive for an anabolic agent and/or a performance enhancing substance or any substance used to mask the use of the previous mentioned will be immediately suspended from competition and practice for the period of one year.

CONCUSSION MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL

The following text is an abridged version of the Concussion Management Protocol. For the complete plan contact Director of Sports Medicine.

Prior to participation in any athletic activity for Kansas State University, a student-athlete will have a pre-participation med- ical exam, complete a medical history, including concussion history, and undergo baseline cognitive and postural-stability testing (C3Logix and ImPact). The Team Physician will determine pre-participation clearance for activity and/or determine if any consultation or additional testing is needed.

All student-athletes, coaches, team physicians, athletic trainers, and directors of athletics will sign a concussion fact sheet in which they accept the responsibility for reporting student-athlete injuries and illnesses to the medical staff of Kansas State University, including signs and symptoms of concussions.

Once a student-athlete is suspected of having a head injury, as reported by a coach, teammate, or individual, the medical staff (Team physician and/or Athletic Trainer) of Kansas State University will be immediately notified. From that moment, the student-athlete of concern may not return to play until cleared by the medical staff. In football, the athlete’s helmet will remain in the possession of the medical staff until the student-athlete has been cleared to return to play by the medical staff.

Upon notice of a possible head injury, the athletic trainer will conduct an immediate assessment of the student-athlete. Simultaneously, the team physician will be notified of the head injury. If the athletic trainer suspects that the student- athlete may have suffered a concussion, then the student-athlete will be held from further participation until evaluated by a team physician. Based upon this assessment, the physician will determine the extent of the head injury. The student- athlete will undergo a repeat thorough examination, including cognitive and postural stability testing (C3Logix and ImPact) if possible the following day or when the Team Physician deems appropriate. The student-athlete will complete a symp- tom checklist to document their post-concussion symptoms. Based upon review of these assessments, a treatment plan for the student-athlete will be created.

When the team physician determines that it is appropriate for the student athlete to reintroduce physical exertion (in most cases this will include the absence of postural instability and a return to baseline on symptoms assessment), the return-to- play protocol will be enforced as discussed below

Return to Play (RTP) Guidelines/Progression Once medically cleared to begin exercise, the student-athlete will be progressed through an exercise protocol using the following guidelines/progression. Each phase of the progression is considered complete only if the student-athlete re- mains asymptomatic during and after the workout is completed. The Team Physician will re-evaluate the student-athlete prior to medical clearance for participation.

1. Stage 1, Cardiovascular workout utilizing a stationary bicycle - 30-minute workout 2. Stage 2, Run/Jog on treadmill- 20 to 30-minute workout 3. Stage 3, Sports Specific agility drills on playing surface and can lift weights- Approximately 30-minute workout 4. Stage 4, Participate in non-contact sport practice. 5. Stage 5, Participate in normal practice.

**If student-athlete has any recurring symptom(s) during the above-mentioned progression, they must repeat that specific step of the progression when asymptomatic and can only advance to the next if they remain asymptomatic upon comple- tion of the workout. Any RTP progression that must be repeated cannot occur on the same day as the step that symp- toms recurred.

When the athlete is 4-7 days (or as directed by the Team Physician) post-concussion diagnosis, the athlete will be re- quired to complete another C3Logix and/or ImPact post-injury test. If the athlete successfully tests at or above their base- line, then follow-up C3Logix and/or ImPact testing will not be needed. If the athlete fails to meet their baseline score ac- cording to the C3Logix and/or ImPact report, then they must repeat the respective test until baseline is met. Once medi- cally cleared for exercise, a student-athlete will be progressed through a return-to-learn progression in addition to the re- turn-to-play progression.

Return to Learn (RTL) Guidelines/Progression There will be no academic requirements including classroom activities, study sessions, testing, etc… until the student- athlete has been medical cleared by the team physician. Once medically cleared to initiate academic activities, the stu- dent-athlete will be progressed through an exercise protocol using the following guidelines/progression. Each phase of the progression is considered complete only if the student-athlete remains asymptomatic during and after the progression is completed.

43

Assistant Director SAS/Academic Counselor for Football, will serve as the point person to assist the student-athlete and to coordinate with professors and instructors and the Student Assistance Center regarding the student-athlete’s return-to- learn progression and reasonable academic accommodations. The student-athlete will be assisted with a modified schedule/individualized plan and campus resources will be utilized, all while be compliant with ADAAA. The Team Physi- cian will also re-evaluate the student-athlete.

1. Stage 1, 30 minutes of mental activity/exertion in a controlled environment. No computer work, no testing, and no visual work requirements. 2. Stage 2, 30 minutes of mental activity/exertion in a controlled environment followed by 15 minutes of rest, then 30 more minutes of mental activity/exertion. No computer work or testing allowed. 3. Stage 3, Resume class room attendance and study table requirement. No computer work or testing allowed. 4. Stage 4, Resume all class work and study table requirements; resume normal computer use. No testing allowed. 5. Stage 5, Resume all academic requirements.

**If student-athlete has any recurring symptom(s) during the above-mentioned progression, they must repeat that specific step of the progression when asymptomatic, and can only advance to the next if they remain asymptomatic upon comple- tion of the workout. Any RTL progression that must be repeated cannot occur on the same day as the step that symp- toms recurred.

K-State Athletics highly encourages all student-athletes to use proper judgement and practice safe techniques as it relates to head injuries while participating in practice/competition. Education and demonstrations of proper and safe techniques as it relates to the head should be practiced daily. If any student-athlete has a question or concern as it relates to a head injury they should immediately contact a member of the Sports Medicine Department.

POLICY FOR REPORTING ADD/ADHD MEDICAL HISTORY/ REQUESTING DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION

REPORTING ADD/ADHD MEDICAL HISTORY If a student-athlete reports a medical history of ADD/ADHD, the student-athlete shall follow the prescribed steps to ensure that K-State Athletics has obtained the appropriate documentation according to NCAA guidelines: 1. Report any prior medical treatment for ADD/ADHD to the student-athlete’s designated Academic Learning Spe- cialist or Athletic Trainer. 2. Academic Learning Specialist or Athletic Trainer, if given consent by the student-athlete, reports the pertinent di- agnosis to the Academic Counselor. 3. If student-athlete does NOT give consent for Academic Learning Specialist or Athletic Trainer to report history of ADD/ADHD to the Academic Counselor, it is up to the student to report independently to Academic Counselor the desired information. 4. Athletic Learning Specialist provides student-athlete’s Health Care Provider a packet that includes: a letter outlin- ing NCAA guidelines and information requested to meet those guidelines, Medical Release form, Medical Excep- tion form, and Guidelines/Evaluation of Documentation form. 5. Academic Learning Specialist obtains all required NCAA documents and provides a copy to the Head Trainer. 6. Documentation must be updated on a yearly basis. Student athlete must work with Academic Learning Specialist to ensure that current documentation is on file each year.

PAYMENT OF MEDICATION If medication is required for ADD/ADHD, payment will be considered for scholarship student-athletes with a pre-existing condition of ADD/ADHD, as well as for scholarship student-athletes diagnosed subsequent to their arrival to K-State.

REQUEST FOR DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION If a student-athlete requests a diagnostic evaluation for ADD/ADHD, or if a request is made for an evaluation by the Head Coach, Athletic Trainer, or Academic Counselor, the following steps must be followed: 1. Student-athlete must contact Academic Learning Specialist and grant consent for an initial screening to be con- ducted at Academic Learning Center (Hale Library). 2. If initial screening indicates that further testing is warranted, the student-athlete will work with Academic Learning Specialist to schedule a diagnostic evaluation appointment with a physician. 3. If student-athlete is diagnosed with ADD/ADHD, Academic Learning Specialist will provide Physician with a pack- et that includes: a letter outlining NCAA guidelines and information requested to meet those guidelines, Medical Release form, Medical Exception form, and Guidelines/Evaluation of Documentation form.

PAYMENT OF DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION Payment for diagnostic evaluations will be treated on a case-by-case basis.

PREGNANCY POLICY

This policy has been developed to establish protection for the pregnant student athlete and her unborn child. The proce- dures outlined in this policy will allow the student athlete to make the best decisions concerning her pregnancy and her future as a collegiate student athlete.

Procedure The pregnant student athlete should inform an athletic trainer at the earliest known date of pregnancy. Although the Ath- letics Department cannot require a student athlete to inform it if she becomes pregnant, the Athletics Department will work to do what is in the best interest of the student athlete and your unborn child. The athletic trainer will then notify the Head Athletics Trainer, who will then notify the appropriate athletic administrator, coach, and select physicians and support staff as part of a panel of pregnancy advisors. A pregnant student athlete MUST first BE CLEARED by her own OB and by a KSU team physician before she may participate in ANY athletic activity; this includes the signing of an informed consent by the two involved physicians, the student athlete, and a member of the KSU administrative staff. The student athlete may be able to continue to participate in competitive activity, depending on the sport* in which she is involved and her physician’s advice, but typically this activity ends after the 14th week of pregnancy. She may continue cardiovascular and weight lifting workouts past that date only as advised by both physicians. The student athlete must also be cleared by those same physicians before returning to athletic activity, post-partum. (*Each case will be evaluated on an individual and sport basis, and evaluated as appropriate.)

A panel of advisors will be assembled to provide guidance and support to the student athlete, including facilitating the ap- plication for a sixth year of eligibility (if appropriate), facilitating the continuation of the academic process, and offering ad- vice requested by the student athlete on any issues related to the pregnancy. This panel consists of team physician, SWA, and the individual’s coach, and may include one or more of the following: sport psychologist, academic advisor, as- sistant athletic trainer, and personal OB – per the request of the student athlete.

The NCAA Sports Medicine Handbook includes the following guidelines: • The safety to participate in each sport must be dictated by the movements and physical demands required to compete in that sport. Many medical experts recommend that women avoid participating in competitive contact sports after the 14th week of pregnancy. Athletics activities associated with a high risk of falling should be avoided during pregnancy. • Women who have medical conditions that place their pregnancies at high risk for complications should avoid physical activity until consultation with their obstetrician. • The student athlete should be aware of the warning signs to terminate exercise while pregnant: vaginal bleeding, shortness of breath prior to exercise, dizziness, headache, chest pain, calf pain or swelling, pre-term labor, de- creased fetal movement, amniotic fluid leakage and muscle weakness. • The student athlete should be informed that NCAA rules permit a one-year extension of the five-year period of eli- gibility for a female student athlete for reasons of pregnancy.

45

SPORTS MEDICINE EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN

HINTS FOR ACADEMIC SUCCESS

A student athlete’s chance for success in the classroom is enhanced if they make a strong commitment to their studies. There is a big difference between university and high school courses. Your time is limited, especially with the additional demands of college athletics. We have listed guidelines that will help you meet your academic expectations.

A. Attend class. • College courses move at a faster pace than high school. Attendance is crucial so that you can take notes, receive handouts, complete in-class assignments and receive material that appears on future exams. • Communicate with your instructor; attendance can be a factor in determining your final grade for the class. • It is your responsibility to communicate all absences, to obtain all missed work assignments, to still meet dead- lines, and/or make arrangements to make up assignments, exams, etc. Your Athletic Counselor will have a travel letter to help outline missed class dates due to competition.

B. Go to class prepared and be ready to participate. • Check your syllabus before each class to complete any necessary readings or written assignments for the day. • Be prepared: take required books and materials with you – books, notebooks, pen/pencil or laptop. • Review your notes prior to each class period. • Participation can factor into your final grade for the class; instructors notice those who actively participate.

C. Know your instructor / Respect • Introduce yourself to your instructor, know their office location, when their office hours are; in-person communica- tion is the most effective. • Address your instructors by “professor” or “doctor” unless they have requested you to do otherwise. • Most instructors want to see you succeed and are willing to help you, provided you show a willingness to do YOUR part. • PUT YOUR PHONE AWAY; do not text, listen to music, be on social media, etc., while in class. • Ask questions if you aren’t sure, feel confused about class, need clarification on material, etc. Ask about test for- mats and the material that will be covered. • Arrive to class on time; turn in assignments on time • Do not become an excuse maker. Be responsible and it will be noticed.

D. Manage your time and Use Resources Wisely. • Find a method of personal organization that works for YOU; use a planner, use calendars, make to-do lists, write down all due dates for homework, projects, assignments, papers and quiz/exam dates. • Develop a routine; make a weekly schedule that includes classes, practice time, game dates, meetings, study time, rest time, etc. Use your time wisely and prioritize. • Be proactive in using tutors; it is easier to schedule sessions and then reduce as needed. • Do not be afraid to ask for help; ask your Athletics Academic Counselor, instructors, tutor or coach. Ask for help before you reach the point where you cannot pass the course.

ON-CAMPUS ADVISING

As a student athlete, you will be assigned to an Athletics Academic Counselor for your sport, as well as, an on-campus Academic Advisor within your college/program of study. If you are listed as open option, you will be assigned an advisor in the college of Arts and Sciences. Once you declare a major, you will be assigned an advisor within that specific col- lege/major (i.e. business, mass communications, etc.).

On-Campus Academic Advisor: Is your point of contact for questions regarding specific courses, sequence of courses, necessary pre-requisites, application to degree track, approval for graduation, access to DARS, etc. You are required to meet with your on-campus advisor each semester prior to enrollment in your course schedule for the upcoming semes- ters. This advisor reports to the Dean of the College and has true academic authority and responsibility regarding advising of courses (course selection) that are certifiable toward declared major, including the use of elective credit, substitute courses, themes, minors, etc.

If you are interested in changing your major, a conversation must occur with your Athletics Academic Counselor BEFORE any change is made. Once it is determined that you meet NCAA eligibility requirements in the new major, you will be asked to complete a Change of Major form with the Dean’s Offices of both your previous major and your intended major.

ENROLLMENT Enrollment will take place once during the fall and spring semester. Below is a checklist, which you need to use for pre- enrollment. Your Athletics Counselor will communicate reminders as you prepare for enrollment. You should GET TO KNOW your on-campus, Academic Advisor:

Name: College: Office: Phone:

 Call and schedule an appointment with your Academic Advisor.  Use the Course Schedule online to select days and times of classes; you will need the 5-digit reference number to enroll.  Meet with your Academic Advisor and create a schedule of at least 12-15 hours.  Keep in mind practice times and athletic responsibilities, including travel schedule.  Ask your Academic Advisor to lift any advisor holds so you may enroll.  Make sure all delinquencies are paid and all holds on your student account are cleared before your enrollment date.  Communicate the details of your class schedule with your Athletics Counselor.

2. Review Remaining Degree Requirements with your Academic Advisor - You can make an appointment at any time with your advisor on campus to review your remaining degree requirements. This is a good time to plan the courses you will be taking for the remainder of your academic career.
