6. stophazing.org Campus Hazing Assessment Findings How is Hazing Discovered? – –“I have not received a lot of information on hazing from our university, which makes me think the administration does not think it is, or will be, an issue. They wait for hazing to happen and then address hazing. It doesn’t seem very urgent”. (Survey Response) –“I think the official message is that hazing shouldn’t happen, but I think it is often assumed and even referred to lightly / jokingly by professors and others as an unofficial message.” (Survey Response) –“Unofficial-boys will be boys, as long as it doesn’t cause ‘trouble’ it doesn’t matter, its part of college (especially Greek life).” (Survey Response) –“I receive no messages official or unofficial, which may indicate that the administration isn’t doing anything about hazing.” (Survey Response) Hazing Prevention Challenges “ UA accounts focus especially on the quality of trainings for student leaders and inconsistent presence and oversight by staff, such as advisors, coaches, and Greek supervisors.”
