Athletic / Club Sport Hazing Policy

Article ID: 397
Last updated: 27 Jun, 2018

Eastern defines hazing as an act which endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student, or which destroys or removes public or private property, for the purpose of initiation or admission into, affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership, in a group or organization. Hazing in any form is a violation of the University’s student code of conduct and is subject to conduct procedures as set forth in the University’s student handbook. Hazing often involves more than one person, and frequently involves portions of athletic clubs. Any student club athlete or athletic club found in violation of the Hazing Policy will be:  

• Subject to all University student conduct sanctions;
• Be subject to review by the Director of Student Activities or designee(s).
• May be subject to immediate suspension from the club/organization;
• Will have a written record placed in their file; and
• In cases involving an athletic club, could result in suspension of the program for a designated period of time.
