What is the policy on hazing?

• A. Hazing is prohibited; any conduct that degrades, endangers, or threatens members is unlawful.
• B. Hazing allowed if all participants consent.
• C. Hazing tolerated during initiation with supervisor.
• D. Hazing allowed if supervised by faculty.

Answer: (A)

Hazing is strictly prohibited. The policy states that any conduct that degrades, endangers, or threatens members is unlawful, regardless of consent or supervision. This emphasis on safety and dignity means hazing cannot be justified by initiation rites or by supervising authority. Consent or supervision does not make hazing permissible; the prohibition applies in all forms. In short, the organization bans hazing in all circumstances to protect its members.
