"Hazing" Defined

In accordance with the University's Hazing Prohibition Policy, Hazing includes "[a]ny activity organized by a student group or members of a student group that involves other students in practices which:

endanger or potentially endanger an individual’s physical, emotional, or psychological well-being (as determined at the sole discretion of the University)
constitute violations of University policies or local, state, or federal ordinances and laws, or
involve the distribution or removal of public or private property

Such activity "shall be immediate cause for disciplinary action. It shall not matter whether such practices were mandatory or voluntarily entered into by any of the students or the student group members in question, including new and initiated student members."

Hazing includes a range of behaviors. These may include, but are not limited to:

physical brutality
forced or coerced consumption of food, alcohol, drugs or other substances
forced or coerced sleep deprivation or excessive fatigue
forced or coerced exclusion from social contact
forced or coerced actions such as public stunts or buffoonery that could result in humiliation or embarrassment.
