Reporting hazing is critical for students and employees. If you wish to make an anonymous report we will evaluate the report and determine what follow up is necessary to address the concerns. We would encourage you though, to submit your name and contact information to allow us to call or email should we have additional questions regarding the information in the report.

Description / Narrative of Incident

Hazing is any action taken or situation created intentionally to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule, weather on or off campus. Activities considered to be hazing include two elements: (1) coercion, either overt or covert, and (2) production of physical or mental discomfort, in either the participant(s) or spectators. Such activities suggested or ordered by a group or a member of a group to new or trial members will be considered to carry with them covert coercion even if the activity is defined as “voluntary”. Paddling in any form, physical and psychological shocks and creation of excessive fatigue are always considered hazing. Other activities which may be considered hazing are: quests, treasure hunts, scavenger hunts, road trips, or any other such activities. Also, wearing apparel in public which is designed to humiliate the wearer; engaging in public stunts and buffoonery; morally degrading or humiliating games and activities; late work sessions which interfere with scholastic activities; and any other activities which are not consistent with the regulations of the community are considered forms of hazing. This is not to be considered an all-inclusive list.
