Hazing

The ASUMH Non-Academic Misconduct Standards of Student Conduct's definition of hazing also applies to all registered organizations, intercollegiate athletic teams, and other groups (e.g., academic organizations).

Hazing is defined as any mental or physical requirement, request or obligation placed upon any person that could intentionally or unintentionally cause discomfort, pain, fright, disgrace, injury or which is personally degrading for the purpose of initiation into, membership into, affiliation with, or as a condition of continued membership in, a registered organization, intercollegiate athletic team, or other group. A person's consent, whether expressed or implied, does not excuse or justify hazing under these standards.
