Hazing
Hazing activities are not only against University policy, but are also against state and federal law. You can review the University's Hazing Policy here: Cameron University's Hazing Policy.
Defining Hazing
Cameron University defines hazing as any act or activity that is- intentional, knowing, or reckless, AND
- committed or coerced by a person (alone or with others) regardless of rank, role, or university employment status, AND
- committed against another person or people regardless of their willingness to participate that:
- Is committed during an initiation into, an affiliation with, or the maintenance of membership in, a Student Organization/University Program; AND
- Causes or creates a risk, above the reasonable risk encountered in the course of participation in the institution of higher education or a Student Organization/University Program (such as the physical preparation necessary for participation in an athletic team), of physical or psychological injury
