Hazing

Hazing of any sort will not be tolerated. Hazing is defined as “committing an act against a student, or coercing a student into committing an act, that creates a substantial risk of harm to a person, in order for the student to be initiated into or affiliated with a student organization.” Such misconduct is a violation of Bethel policy and of state and federal law. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against any person found to have violated such a policy, including the possibility of notifying local law enforcement authorities. Possible consequences may include sanctions against the campus organization, its members, and/or its leadership. Sanctions may include probation, suspension, loss of privileges, loss of funding, or dismissal.
