STOP CAMPUS HAZING
The Stop Campus Hazing Act took effect on January 1, 2025. This Act requires campuses to report incidents of hazing and to implement policy and programming requirements related to the prevention and awareness of issues caused by hazing.
Hazing is defined as:
“any intentional, knowing, or reckless act committed by a person (whether individually or in concert with other persons) against another person of persons regardless of the willingness of such other person or persons to participate, that;
- is committed in the course of an initiation into, an affiliation with, or the maintenance of membership in, a student organization*; and
- causes or creates a risk, above the reasonable risk encountered in the course of participation
in the institution of higher education or the organization (such as the physical preparation
necessary for participation in an athletic team), of physical or psychological injury
including:
- whipping, beating, striking, electronic shocking, placing of a harmful substance on someone’s body, or similar activity;
- causing, coercing, or otherwise inducing sleep deprivation, exposure to the elements, confinement in a small space, extreme calisthenics, or other similar activity;
- causing, coercing, or otherwise inducing another person to consume food, liquid, alcohol, drugs, or other substances;
- causing, coercing, or otherwise inducing another person to perform sexual acts;
- any activity that places another person in reasonable fear of bodily harm through the use of threatening words or conduct;
- any activity against another person that includes a criminal violation of local, State, Tribal, or Federal law; and
- any activity that induces, causes, or requires another person to perform a duty or task that involves a criminal violation of local, State, Tribal, or Federal law.”
North Country Community College has a zero-tolerance policy on hazing. All reports of hazing will be investigated promptly, and violations will be subject to the Student Code of Conduct and/or corrective action. Reports of hazing may be filed through the College's Incident Reporting System.
For questions on hazing and/or policy, please reach out to the AVP of Student Affairs and/or the HR Director.
* A student organization is defined as an organization at an institution of higher education (such as a club, society, association, varsity or junior varsity athletic team, club sports team, fraternity, sorority, band, or student government) in which two or more of the members are students enrolled at the institution of higher education, whether or not the organization is established or recognized by the institution.
