Stanford takes violations of the hazing policy extremely seriously and encourages anyone who has been hazed, has witnessed hazing, or suspects someone they know has been hazed to feel empowered to report these observations to university officials.
Hazing is any activity that subjects someone joining or participating in a group to humiliation, degradation, abuse, or unreasonable risk of injury, regardless of that person’s willingness to participate. All students have the right to be free of such experiences.
The key elements of prohibited hazing are:
- Subjecting another person to humiliation, degradation, abuse, or a risk of physical or psychological injury above the reasonable risk encountered in the course of participating in campus or group activities (e.g., physical preparation necessary for participation in an athletic team);
- In the course of that person’s initiation into, affiliation with, or maintenance of membership in a student organization, club, athletic team, student government, or other group in which two or more members are students;
- Regardless of that person’s willingness to participate;
- Regardless of whether the student organization/group is established by, registered with, or recognized by Stanford; and
- Regardless of the location of the hazing activity.
Reports of hazing will be investigated by the Office of Community Standards (OCS).
