Prevention of hazing is the responsibility of every member of the University community. Each organization, as well as each individual, must accept the personal obligation to uphold the basic community values. It is the university’s belief that true human development will best occur in an atmosphere that promotes social and ethical responsibility.

Under this policy every member of our University community has an obligation to report and act on information regarding hazing. Under this policy, سԹ employees have an obligation to report information regarding hazing. All allegations of hazing will be fully investigated, and any organization and/or individuals within an organization found responsible of hazing may face disciplinary action up to and/or including expulsion from the University and criminal charges.
