AR 6:2, Policy and Procedures for Addressing and Resolving Allegation of Sexual
Assault, Stalking, Dating Violence, and Domestic Violence (Approved by the President,
6/10/2016)
The University of Kentucky is committed to providing a safe learning, living, and working
environment for all members of the University community. The federal government, by
means of continuous interpretative guidance for Title IX of the Education Amendment of
1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681 1688), the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of
2013 (VAWA), and the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and
Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act), instructs universities and other institutions on
the expected parameters for addressing and resolving allegations of sexual assault,
stalking, dating violence, and domestic violence. Consistent with the Universitys
commitment to student safety and guidance from the federal government, AR 6:2
establishes the Universitys policies and procedures. Click here to review a timeline of
past revisions to AR 6:2 and recent Federal Interpretive guidance. The most recent
revisions:
Add new Introduction and Policy sections to clarify the ARs purpose and
emphasize the Universitys commitment to providing a safe learning, living, and
working environment for all members of the University community.
Update the Scope section to clarify that the AR applies to prohibited conduct
that occurs off campus if the off campus activity is authorized, initiated,
sponsored, aided, or supervised by the University or a registered student
organization; and, outside the context of a University employment or education
programs or activity, if the conduct has continuing adverse effects on or creates a
hostile environment for students, employees, or third parties while on property
owned, leased, or controlled by the University, or in any University employment
or education program or activity.
Update the definition of Affirmative Consent to clarify that a voluntary
expression of consent must be obtained from each person involved in sexual
activity.
Add new definitions for: Cyber-stalking, Complicity, Force or Coercion,
Incapacitation, Physical Assault, Sexual Exploitation, and Responsible
Employee.
Change the name of the Complainant to the Complaining Witness to
underscore that the University, not the victim, brings the case against the
accused .
Add specific contact information for the Universitys Title IX Coordinator and
Deputy Title IX Coordinator.
Update the Rights of the Complaining Witness and the Respondent section to
ensure equal rights for both parties.
