Defining hazing- similar to national findings, additional layer of tradition, lack of understanding surrounding non physical abuse hazing. Reasons for Hazing- similar to national findings Slide6
Campus Hazing Assessment Findings
How is Hazing Discovered?
–
“I have not received a lot of information on hazing from our university, which makes me think the administration does not think it is, or will be, an issue. They wait for hazing to happen and then address hazing. It doesn’t seem very urgent”. (Survey Response)“I think the official message is that hazing shouldn’t happen, but I think it is often assumed and even referred to lightly / jokingly by professors and others as an unofficial message.” (Survey Response)“Unofficial-boys will be boys, as long as it doesn’t cause ‘trouble’ it doesn’t matter, its part of college (especially Greek life).” (Survey Response)“I receive no messages official or unofficial, which may indicate that the administration isn’t doing anything about hazing.” (Survey Response)Hazing Prevention Challenges “UA
accounts focus especially on the quality of trainings for student leaders and inconsistent presence and oversight by staff, such as advisors, coaches, and Greek supervisors
.”Slide7

Plan
Send newsletters monthly to targeted staff, faculty, advisors, coaches and parents
Conduct a pre-test on a select group Post-test on all Rationale Staff, faculty, advisors and coaches often know what the issues with the group are If they are not involved, they need to know they should be The students often don’t recognize the problem or want to change Past reports and concerns came from the population UA staff and faculty are mandatory reporters, must make “reasonable efforts” Specific and known population Slide8
