Ohio State Anti-hazing Policy

The Ohio State University is committed to promoting a safe and healthy campus environment, where students are free from hazing. Hazing impedes the university’s vision of being the model 21st-century public, land grant, research, urban, community-engaged institution.

Ohio State prohibits hazing, and all members of the university community are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that maintains an environment free from hazing. Ohio State's Anti-hazing Policy defines expectations for the university community around hazing and establishes mechanisms for determining when those expectations have been violated.  The policy further establishes requirements for hazing education and reporting.

The Anti-hazing policy had an effective date of January 9, 2023.  The full policy can be access at go.osu.edu/anti-hazing-policy.
