Help Stop Hazing at the University of Minnesota
The University of Minnesota seeks to promote a safe environment where all students may participate in campus activities and organizations free from hazing. Hazing activities compromise the health, welfare, and safety of all Gophers. It is the responsibility of every member of the University of Minnesota community to prevent hazing from occurring or from continuing.
What is hazing?
As defined in the University of Minnesota Board of Regents policy: Student Conduct Code, hazing means: “Any behavior or activity that endangers the health or safety of an individual (including, without limitation, an act intended to cause personal degradation or humiliation), for the purpose of initiation in, admission to, affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in a student group or University athletic team, regardless of the individual’s willingness to participate.”
This policy applies to both individual students and student groups, as defined by University policy.
Don’t assume someone else knows what you know
If you see or hear something that might be hazing, ask questions, find out what’s going on, and speak up. It’s always okay to check in or pass it along to someone who can help.
