The Stop Campus Hazing Act (SCHA) significantly enhances transparency and accountability regarding hazing incidents on college campuses receiving federal funding. This legislation mandates two distinct public reports, ensuring comprehensive disclosure of hazing-related information.

In accordance with the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act, our institution annually publishes an Annual Security & Fire Safety Report (ASFR) by October 1st. Beginning with the October 1, 2026 report, the ASFR will include specific, aggregated data on hazing incidents. This data will encompass incidents reported to Campus Security Authorities (CSAs) or local police agencies that occurred within the institution's Clery geography. This inclusion provides a standardized and publicly accessible overview of hazing trends, contributing to informed decision-making for prospective students and their families.
