(1)As used in this section, unless the context requires otherwise, "disability" has the

same meaning as the definition given in KRS 344.010.

(2)The Council on Postsecondary Education shall develop guidelines for the adoption

of policies by postsecondary education institutions with residence facilities that

provide students with a disability a safe environment in which to live and study.

(3)Each institution shall develop a housing and security policy in compliance with the

council's guidelines that shall be visibly posted in each residence facility, made

available on campus computer networks to which students have access, and

included in all student housing information. The policies shall include, but not be

limited to, an appeals process that may be used by students, their parents, or their

advocates when they have reason to believe that the institution's policy or the

student's housing assignment does not reasonably accommodate the student's

disability or endangers the student's safety or health. The appeals process shall

mandate that the body assigned to hear the appeal shall not include representatives

of the original department that made the housing assignment that is being appealed.

(4)Each institution shall prepare at the beginning of each semester a list with the name

and residency assignment of each student with a disability, as reported to the

institution by the student or the student's parent or advocate, as appropriate. The list

shall be given to the campus housing and security authorities to be used in an

emergency to identify, locate, and act to help, protect, and if necessary, rescue the

student with a disability.
