Hazing Policies
Washington has a no-tolerance hazing law that requires an organization to lose recognition from the university if they are found responsible for hazing or the University is in violation of state law. Please review the Washington Administrative Code (504-26-206) and/or the Revised Code of Washington (RCW 28B.10.900 - 28B.10.910) related to hazing, as well as WSU's online hazing prevention training (https://youtu.be/I3vzeAN9rqA) for more information.
For more information regarding expectations for student conduct, please see the Student Handbook for Community Standards.
Reporting Resources
If you witness acts of hazing, please completing the Hazing Report Form. We ask that you provide your contact information so we have a viable reason to follow up on the report.
The following are a few reporting resources that everyone has available to them:
