Hazing Awareness & Prevention
Hazing Prevention and Education:
Effective the 2025-2026 academic year, 黑料社区app students and employees will complete an educational program on hazing awareness, prevention, intervention, and the University’s hazing policy.
Training is required for incoming students during new student orientation, returning students and employees at the beginning of each academic year, and new employees at the beginning of each academic term. Educational materials about the dangers of hazing, 黑料社区app's hazing policy, and how to report incidents of hazing are also provided to University affiliated student groups.
黑料社区app offers Anti-Hazing Training for students, faculty & staff as well as parents, guardians & community members.
University members can access the Anti-Hazing Training by entering their University-issued email and password in the "Sign in" box. After logging in, scroll down to "My Courses" section to access the course.
Anti-Hazing Expectations:
Traditions provide reminders and context of the University’s past and hopes for the future. Such rituals are to always be deeply rooted in mutual respect and dignity, and not through activities that harm or humiliate.
Hazing is inconsistent with 黑料社区app's mission as a Jesuit and Mercy University and is strictly prohibited. Review these expectations in the University’s hazing policy.
Duty to Report:
If, as a result of observations or information received in the course of employment or volunteer service, any employee, including a student employee, or volunteer the University has reasonable cause to believe that hazing has occurred, the employee or volunteer must report the incident. The employee or volunteer must make the report at the first opportunity to do so.
See the University’s hazing policy for more information.
