Any suspicions of the mentioned activities or any other activities which may be construed as hazing should be reported to the Dean of Students Office immediately.
Any organization that may have a question or concern regarding this policy may contact the Dean of Students Office or Department of Student Engagement to seek clarification or approval for an event or activity.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University prohibits any form of hazing in or outside of a registered student organization. Permission or approval by the person(s) being hazed does not justify the behavior. Consent to participate in any action that may be identified as hazing does not grant approval no matter your membership status. Hazing is defined as any action taken or situation actively or passively created by an individual or organization, whether on or off campus, that has the potential to produce mental or physical harm, discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule. Such activities may include, but are not limited to those listed on the right side of the screen.
Acts of hazing are often committed in connection with an initiation into, an affiliation with, or the maintenance of membership in an organization; however, the degree of affiliation within an organization or the willingness of an individual to participate in any such activity notwithstanding, any and all such activities or similar in deed or purpose may be considered an act of hazing. Hazing can occur regardless of the knowledge, consent, or endorsement of an organization's members, advisor(s), alumni, or leadership.
