Campus Hazing Transparency Report

Hazing, in all of its forms, is incongruent with the University of Dayton's Catholic and Marianist identity and values. In the interest of fostering a healthy and safe community, the University of Dayton has created the Campus Hazing Transparency Report. This report continues to ensure compliance with both Collin's Law, Ohio's Anti-Hazing Act, and federal anti-hazing legislation, the Stop Campus Hazing Act (SCHA).

Both Collin's Law and SCHA require each institution of higher education to publish a report of all hazing violations on a publicly accessible website.

This report is updated twice per year, on January 1 and August 1, and details all findings of responsibility for hazing by student organizations over the last five years.
