Stop Hazing Act:

The Stop Hazing Act (SCHA) amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require colleges and universities to disclose hazing incidents in their annual security reports. It mandates institutions to define hazing, compile statistics on reported cases, and establish transparent policies for reporting and prevention.

Schools must create a Campus Hazing Transparency Report listing organizations found responsible for hazing and detailing violations, sanctions, and key investigation dates. The Act also requires institutions to implement research-based prevention programs and ensure compliance with local, state, and tribal laws, enhancing student safety and accountability.

Definition: Hazing is any action or situation that recklessly or intentionally endangers the health, safety, or welfare of, causes a risk of bodily injury to an individual for the purpose of initiation, participation, admission into or affiliation with any group, team or organization (e.g., a club, organizations, student government councils, athletic teams, fraternity, or sorority). Hazing includes but is not limited to any abuse of a mental or physical degradation, consumption of any substance, physical activity that could adversely affect the health or safety, any activity that would subject embarrassment or humiliation of any violation of university policy, and/or local, state, or federal law. The willingness of the participant in such behaviors and activities are not withstanding.

In addition, please review the hazing section in our student code of conduct, hazing resouces, and transparency menu.
