Campus Hazing Transparency Report

Pursuant to Section 485(f) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1092(f)), DSU provides a report of past hazing misconduct involving student organizations. The information below includes the name of the student organization, a general description of the violation(s), whether hazing involved the abuse or illegal use of alcohol or drugs, key dates (when hazing took place [if known], start/end of investigation, when student organization was notified of outcome), the findings for the determination of responsibility, and the sanctions imposed. Reports of hazing that did not result in a finding of responsibility are not included. Information provided in the report will not include personally identifiable information about specific individuals. Any student organizations under active investigation will not appear on the Campus Hazing Transparency Report until conclusion of the investigation (and findings of responsibility). DSU updates this report twice a year, and will maintain entries concerning findings of misconduct in this report for 5 years.

For more information related to DSU’s hazing policy, hazing prevention education/programming, how to report hazing behavior,  including the North Dakota hazing law, please visit the DSU hazing prevention website.

Annual statistics on hazing are available in the University’s Annual Fire Safety and Security Report. Please note that hazing statistics will be included beginning with the 2026 report (issued in 2027). Hazing statistics include incident reports that meet the federal definition of hazing in Section 485(f)(6)(A) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C 1092(f)(6)(A)). Such statistics do not reflect actual findings of hazing behavior, which are included in the Campus Hazing Transparency Report.
