Kan. Admin. Regs. § 21-30-8

Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 50, December 12, 2024

Section 21-30-8 - Assumption of validity

(a) Under no circumstances will the general reputation of a test, its author or its publisher, or casual reports of test utility be accepted in lieu of evidence of validity. Specifically ruled out are: assumptions of validity based on test names or descriptive labels; all forms of promotional literature; data bearing on the frequency of a test's usage; testimonial statements of sellers, users, or consultants; and other nonempirical or anecdotal accounts of testing practices or testing outcomes.

(b) Although professional supervision of testing activities may help greatly to insure technically sound and nondiscriminatory test usage, such involvement alone shall not be regarded as constituting satisfactory evidence of test validity.

Authorized by K.S.A. 1971 Supp. 44-1004; effective Jan. 1, 1972.
