Annual Reports

Annual Security and Fire Safety Report

As part of our commitment to transparency and compliance with federal law, the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act (Clery Act), the University of Minnesota publishes the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report each year. This report includes:

• Three years of campus crime statistics, including any hazing incidents reported within the University’s Clery geography;
• Guidance on how to report crimes such as dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking;
• An overview of what to expect when such reports are made to police or University officials; and information about relevant safety policies, resources, and campus support services.

Under the Clery Act, hazing is defined as:

Any intentional, knowing, or reckless act committed by a person (whether individually or in concert with others), against another person or persons—regardless of their willingness to participate—that is:

• Part of initiation into, affiliation with, or continued membership in a student organization, and
• Causes or creates a risk of physical or psychological injury.
• This definition helps ensure consistent and transparent reporting of hazing incidents, aligning institutional practices with federal safety standards.

Campus Hazing Transparency Report

The national Stop Campus Hazing Act (SCHA), enacted on December 23, 2024, amends the Clery Act to prioritize prevention of and transparency about hazing incidents at colleges and universities.

The Campus Hazing Transparency Report includes details for each incident involving a student organization where the institution determined that hazing occurred. In the report, the University of Minnesota summarizes findings that concern any established or recognized student organization found to violate Section IV, Subdivision 14, Hazing of Board of Regents policy: Student Conduct Code.

For each of these incidents, the report provides:

• The name of the student organization involved in the hazing violation.
• A general summary of what happened, including:
  • Whether alcohol or drugs were involved,
  • What the institution concluded, and any outcomes the institution imposed on the organization (if applicable).
• Key dates related to the incident:
  • When the hazing was alleged to have happened,
  • When the institution began investigating,
  • When the investigation concluded with a finding of hazing, and
  • When the organization was officially notified of that finding.

Importantly, the report does not include any personally identifiable information.

The Campus Hazing Transparency Report is released at least twice a year in compliance with federal law.

• January 1, 2026 - June 30, 2026: There is a University of Minnesota finding of hazing during this time. The report is publicly available online. 
• July 1, 2025 - December 31, 2025: There were no University of Minnesota findings of hazing behavior during this time period.
