Send Report to Title IXHazing
Howard University has a zero-tolerance policy against hazing.
Hazing violates campus regulations, the Student Code of Conduct, chapter rules and sometimes city and state laws. Hazing is defined as any forced action that could possibly endanger the mental, physical, or emotional health or safety of a student.
A failure to address and/or report an act of hazing committed against another individual may also be considered an abuse of power and a violation of this policy.
Specific questions and reports of hazing should be directed to the Office of Student Life & Activities at 202-806-5990.
For immediate assistance, call Howard University Campus Police at 202-806-1100.
