For Students

Hazing Transparency Report

 

Tulane University Hazing 

When a student or organization needs to be investigated, the gatekeepers will pass the case to an investigator chosen by the Director of Student Conduct. For any major cases, the University can bring in outside investigators and decision makers.

During the Procedural Review meeting, we'll walk you through exactly how the investigation works and explain your rights and responsibilities. You'll learn about all the resources available to help you through this process, and we'll cover how communication will work and what to expect timing-wise. You can bring an advisor with you to this meeting, and afterward, we'll give you a written summary of everything we discussed.

For hazing cases specifically, the office will follow the Major Matter Investigation process.

What sanctions may result from a hazing violation?

Tulane University treats all allegations of hazing with the utmost seriousness. The university has zero tolerance for hazing. Therefore, violations of the university’s hazing policy are subject to the full range of accountability sanctions (warning, suspension, or expulsion) Educational sanctions may also be issued.

Individual and organizations found in violation of Louisiana Hazing Law RS 17:1801 may be subject to suspension or expulsion from the university.

Where can I find information on what groups have been found in violation for hazing?

The Stop Campus Hazing Act requires universities to compile a Hazing Transparency Report which is subject to a biennial update. 

How to report a hazing violation:

The Office of Student Conduct reviews all allegations of hazing. Anyone with knowledge of hazing should report immediately. If there is an immediate threat to safety, we encourage you to contact the Tulane University Police at 504-865-5911. You may also report using Tulane’s online reporting form.  While you can report anonymously, it may limit our ability to follow-up on the report. 

Tulane has partnered with RealResponse, a company which allows anonymous texting.  Texts are reviewed by a Tulane University staff member who may respond back to you with clarifying questions or to gather more information. This text line is monitored during business hours and should not be used for emergency communications. To utilize the anonymous texting line, please text 504-420-3111.

The Office of Student Conduct reviews all allegations of hazing regardless of reporting source (text, email, concerns report, etc.) If after appropriate gatekeeping review, hazing is suspected, the university will follow the Major Matter Investigation process as described here. To report suspected hazing activities, please submit a concerns report. You can file a report here.
