Page 17 / 20 2025-2026 ADDENDUM to the Rasmussen University Catalog and Student Handbook February 5, 2026 Reporting Hazing Anyone may report hazing. Suspected hazing incidents must be reported to the Campus Executive Director. Alternatively, incidents may also be reported to the Office of Student Affairs at [email protected]. Reports may be submitted in person, by email, or through an anonymous reporting tool on the educational unit website, and/or via local law enforcement. Reports will be treated with the highest degree of confidentiality and urgency permitted under applicable law. Disciplinary and Legal Consequences Engagement in hazing activities is a violation of this policy and enforceable under the Conduct and Dismissal Policy. Violation of this policy may also constitute a criminal offense under local, state, Tribal, or federal law. Individuals found responsible for hazing may be subject to legal prosecution in addition to disciplinary action by the Institution. Disciplinary action may include student suspension or dismissal, termination of employment for faculty or staff, revocation of institutional recognition for student organizations, and/or educational sanctions or required restorative practices. Public Disclosure Findings of responsibility will be recorded and disclosed in accordance with federal and state laws. Hazing-related data, including summaries of violations, sanctions, and prevention efforts, are made publicly available on the educational unit’s website. A summary of applicable hazing laws and a link to these public reports can be found on the University’s website. Prevention and Education The Institution is committed to the prevention of hazing through hazing prevention, awareness, and bystander intervention training for students, faculty, and staff, annual review of anti-hazing policies and laws, and cross-departmental collaboration. Specific program offerings may evolve over time to reflect best practices and institutional needs. A current summary of prevention programs is available on the educational unit’s website.
