Wanda,

Here is current link to proposed amended SARA regulation 13 KAR 4:010 with proposed Appeals Process at Section 7: https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/kar/013/004/010reg.pdf<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.legislature.ky.gov%2Flaw%2Fkar%2F013%2F004%2F010reg.pdf&data=02%7C01%7Cwanda.barker%40sreb.org%7C6a7a05238c9f487fb4c408d81789a224%7Ceb20950b168c497a98452b099844f3ef%7C0%7C1%7C637285227189553685&sdata=q4OjL37jARjX40AnORY5E%2BmFffMUpTF480eV51uP6pw%3D&reserved=0> .  Per 13 KAR 4:010 Section 1, "President" means the President of the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education.

Section 7. Appeals.

(1) An institution denied approval for an initial or renewal application may request an appeal of that decision in accordance with the terms of this subsection.

(a) The institution shall notify the president of the intent to appeal the decision within seven (7) days of the receipt of the notice of denial.

(b) The president shall request that the Office of Administrative Hearings appoint a hearing officer who shall conduct an administrative hearing consistent with the provisions of KRS 13B.005- 13B.170.

(c) The appeal shall be presented in writing no later than thirty (30) days following the receipt of notification of intent to appeal.

(d) The appeals officer shall review findings of fact, consider testimony, draw conclusions, and formulate a recommendation consistent with the facts and this administrative regulation.

(e) Upon completion, the report of the appeals officer shall be forwarded to the institution and to the president.

(f) Within thirty (30) working days of receiving the report of the appeals officer, the president shall either uphold the decision or approve the application.

As of today, the Legislative Research Commission's webpage is not showing it as final.

  *   I continue to check each day.
  *   Once it is final, the temporary link above will go away, and instead this main link https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/kar/013/004/010.pdf<https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.legislature.ky.gov%2Flaw%2Fkar%2F013%2F004%2F010.pdf&data=02%7C01%7Cwanda.barker%40sreb.org%7C6a7a05238c9f487fb4c408d81789a224%7Ceb20950b168c497a98452b099844f3ef%7C0%7C1%7C637285227189563679&sdata=owUAylwtzbyHvBTeKruXVwcjfS2fk6ff0jS%2BIjPWMqw%3D&reserved=0> will be updated to reflect the amended version with new effective date in 2020 (as of today, this main link is still showing the current regulation with effective date in 2017 that does not have Appeals Process).

Subject: [S-SARA] State Appeals Process

Good morning,
The other regional compacts would like to know if any states are willing to share the drafts or published versions of their appeals processes. There are some state portal entities that don't know where to begin and they could use some guidance from their colleagues. If you have a link to a policy on a website or a draft to share, please either reply to this listserv or send it directly to my email address: Wanda.Barker at SREB.org<mailto:Wanda.Barker at SREB.org>
Thanks!
Wanda
