Anti-Hazing Prevention & Awareness

Fraternity and Sorority Life (FSL) – FSL prohibits any forms of hazing within UNA’s Fraternities and Sororities.  All new members complete a “New Member” course within their first year of membership, which includes a module about hazing policies at UNA, hazing laws in the State of Alabama and the Stop Campus Hazing Act.  New members also consent to an agreement before affiliation that they must abide by the rules and laws pertaining to hazing as stated in the UNA Student Code of Conduct and within the Alabama State hazing laws.

National Hazing Prevention Week occurs annually in the last week of September.  During this week, UNA provides hazing prevention education and awareness at on-campus events and UNA requires attendance of all organizations at the events lead by FSL.

Student Organizations, Athletics & Clubs – Advisors of student affiliated organizations and clubs, as well as Athletic coaches and mentors, will receive updated Campus Security Authority training that will include newly added hazing material.  Updated training will define hazing in reference to the Stop Campus Hazing Act, detail reporting responsibilities of CSAs and discuss hazing prevention. 

Students attending UNA are held accountable to the Code of Student Conduct which prohibits acts of hazing by student organizations.  UNA’s Office of Student Conductadheres to the Stop Campus Hazing Act laws and holds students’ behavior accountable to its conditions related to hazing misconduct.
 
The Office of Student Conduct (OSC) follows the federal definition of hazing as defined on the  page. When incidents of hazing are reported to OSC, the Director will gather information and evidence from those involved.  After a thorough investigation of the incident the Director will determine if a violation of UNA’s hazing policy has occurred.  If the organization is found responsible of hazing, the Director will impose sanctions accordingly and add the required case information to the Campus Hazing Transparency Report on or before the biannual required update.
