P. 136 Anti-Hazing Policy (10/23/2025) Replace this policy in its entirety with the following, which is effective Fall quarter 2025: Anti-Hazing Policy The educational unit strictly prohibits all acts of hazing. Hazing is contrary to the mission and values of this educational unit and will not be tolerated under any circumstances. This policy applies to all students, employees, and third parties affiliated with any student organization or institutional program, regardless of whether the organization is officially recognized by the educational unit. Definition of Hazing In accordance with the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act (formerly the Clery Act), as amended by the Stop Campus Hazing Act, hazing is defined as: Any intentional, knowing, or reckless act committed by a person (individually or in concert with others), against another person, regardless of their willingness to participate, that: • Occurs in the course of initiation into, affiliation with, or the maintenance of membership in a student organization; and • Causes or creates a risk of physical or psychological injury above the reasonable risk associated with institutional or organizational participation. Examples include, but are not limited to physical abuse such as beating, whipping, or forced calisthenics; forced consumption of alcohol, drugs, food, or any other substances; acts that cause psychological harm, including threats, intimidation, or humiliation; sleep deprivation, exposure to elements, or confinement; forced sexual activity or simulated acts; actions that violate any local, state, tribal, or federal laws. Definition of Student Organization A student organization is any group at the institution formal or informal, consisting of two or more students enrolled at the institution, including but not limited to teams, associations, clubs, societies, and student government - regardless of whether the group is officially recognized. 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.
