University Policy and Response
Hazing allegations are addressed through procedures outlined in the Administrative Policy: Resolving Alleged Student Conduct Code Violations. These procedures apply to both individuals and student groups and are designed to ensure fairness, accountability, and education in the student conduct process.

Hazing Policy for Minnesota Postsecondary Institutions
The University of Minnesota’s Board of Regents Policy: Student Conduct Code and the Administrative Policy: Resolving Alleged Student Conduct Code Violations meet the expectations outlined in Minnesota Statutes § 135A.155 – Hazing Policy for Postsecondary Institutions. These policies provide a clear definition of hazing, outline procedures for reporting and responding to incidents, and establish disciplinary processes for both individuals and student organizations. They are publicly accessible through university websites and shared with students through appropriate communication channels.
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.
