Hazing is antithetical to the values of integrity, inclusion, safety, and personal development that guide our institution.
Hazing refers to any intentional or reckless act, whether on or off-campus, by a single student or a group of students that endangers another student's physical or mental health and safety. However, customary athletic events, contests, or competitions are not considered hazing, and the law is limited to actions and situations related to initiation or affiliation with an organization.鈥
The College's definition of hazing includes any activity expected of someone joining or participating in a group (i.e., initiation or affiliation with an organization) that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them, regardless of a person鈥檚 willingness to participate.
