A tradition. Hundreds of new-member classes have endured physical
and mental abuse in the name of unity. It's time to break that
tradition.
So what is the definition of hazing?
"Hazing" means any intentional, knowing, or reckless
act committed by a student, whether individually or in concert
with other persons, against another student, and in which either
of the following apply:
- The act is committed in connection with an initiation into,
an affiliation with, or the maintenance of membership in any
organization.
- The act contributes to a substantial risk of potential physical
injury, mental harm, or degradation, or causes physical injury,
mental harm, or personal degradation.
It's not a defense to say the hazing victim consented. All students,
staff, and teachers are required to take reasonable measures to
prevent hazing and to report violations. |
