Hazing Prevention and Resources
Saint Louis University is committed to the preservation of personal dignity and the safety of its community members. As members of the SLU community, students, student organizations, and athletic teams and clubs share a responsibility to uphold the University’s Community Standards, including taking an unequivocal stand against hazing.
Hazing is not only an individual issue, but a serious public health issue rooted in the perpetuation of harmful power dynamics. Hazing also subverts the University’s mission and threatens harm to the educational experience and well-being of students.
The resources below provide information about the University’s Hazing Prevention Policy, as well as the reporting and prevention efforts.
What is Hazing?
Review the University’s Hazing Prevention Policy and the State of Missouri’s Anti-Hazing Law.
Reporting Hazing
Review how to report an incident of hazing to the University as well as the investigation processes after a report is submitted.
Hazing Prevention and Awareness Programs
All new SLU students, including transfer students and graduate students, are required to complete an online hazing education and prevention module provided by Vector Solutions. This course gives students a better understanding of hazing, allowing them to identify hazing on college campuses and when it’s happening and possible prevent incidents in the future. This course supports institutions in compliance with the Stop Campus Hazing Act.
Campus Hazing Transparency Report
In alignment with the Stop Campus Hazing Act, the Saint Louis University Hazing Transparency Report provides information on incidents of hazing within recognized student organizations. Incidents will remain on the Transparency Report for five years.
