Hazing Policy & Transparency Report

Campus Hazing Transparency Report

Under the federal Stop Campus Hazing Act, Friends University publishes a Campus Hazing Transparency Report. The report lists every student organization found responsible for a hazing violation of University policy, state law, or federal law.

For each finding, the report includes:

  • The name of the student organization
  • A general description of the violation, including whether alcohol or drugs were involved
  • The findings and sanctions
  • The dates the incident happened, was reported, and was resolved

The report does not include names or personal information of students or employees. It is updated at least twice a year and keeps five years of findings.

Friends University Hazing Policy

Friends University prohibits hazing in any form, on or off campus. The policy applies to all students, faculty, staff, student organizations, clubs, athletic teams, and any group of two or more students, whether or not the University recognizes the group.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Hazing is any act tied to joining or staying in a group that puts someone at risk of physical injury, mental harm, or personal degradation.
  • Consent is not a defense. “They agreed to it” does not make it okay.
  • Helping, encouraging, or covering up hazing is also a violation.
  • Every member of the University community is required to report hazing.
  • Retaliation against anyone who reports or takes part in an investigation is prohibited.
  • If you report hazing in good faith or call for medical help for someone else, you will not be disciplined for your own alcohol or drug use connected to that incident.
  • Violations can lead to suspension, expulsion, loss of organization recognition, or employee discipline.
