How to Report

Any member of the University community who becomes aware of hazing must report the incident immediately. Reports can be made to:

• ESU Police and Safety
• The Office of Student Success
• The Title IX Coordinator

Call 911 if you or someone else is in danger.

Anyone can file a report, and all reports are investigated. Important details to include in a report are:

• names of people and/or organizations involved,
• dates,
• where it happened,
• a specific description of what happened.

The University's ability to investigate hazing, enforce policy, and protect students depends on accurate and specific reports. You are encouraged to provide as much specific detail as possible so that the reported behavior can be addressed.

Anonymous reporting is available through the University’s online reporting system.

The University prohibits retaliation against individuals who report hazing violations in good faith.

Investigation Process

Reports of hazing will be investigated promptly and thoroughly. Individuals or groups found to have violated this policy may face disciplinary action, up to and including:

• Expulsion or suspension for students
• Termination of employment for faculty or staff.
• Revocation of recognition for student organizations.
• Referral to law enforcement for criminal prosecution, as appropriate.

An individual may be subject to more than one type of disciplinary action as result of their involvement in hazing.
