Stop Campus Hazing

Dominican University New York is committed to fostering a campus culture in which every member feels respected, supported, and secure. As part of our unwavering dedication to student well-being and academic excellence, we maintain a zero-tolerance stance on hazing in any form. In alignment with the federal Stop Campus Hazing Act and New York Education Law Art. 129-A, this policy affirms our community’s shared responsibility to prevent, report, and address all acts of hazing.

Reporting

Campus safety is our top priority, and the University takes all reports of alleged misconduct seriously to protect everyone’s health and well-being. The University depends on community members to identify and report behaviors of concern so that the University can provide distressed students and employees with appropriate support services and resources.

The University is committed to reviewing all reports of hazing. Anonymous reports are accepted; however, the University’s ability to obtain additional information may be compromised, and the ability to investigate anonymous reports may be limited. If the report is criminal in nature, local law enforcement will be contacted.

The Office of Public Safety will maintain a website that provides information concerning findings of hazing misconduct for the previous five (5) academic years.

Training

All new students are required to complete the Vector Solutions Hazing Prevention Module. In addition, all student-athletes must complete the module training annually before the start of the academic year. Furthermore, once elected, all club officers, Student Government Association (SGA) and Charger Activity Board (CAB) officers are also required to complete the training module annually. Additionally, all DUNY students, faculty, staff, and administrators are welcome to voluntarily access hazing prevention training and resources. Interested individuals should contact the Hazing Prevention Coordinator for more information.

Campus Hazing Transparency Report

In accordance with the Stop Campus Hazing Act (SCHA) and section 485(f) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. § 1092(f)), Dominican University New York publishes a report of any student organization that has been found responsible for hazing.

This report only includes organizations with a final finding of responsibility for hazing. Reports without a responsibility finding and organizations under investigation are not included.

This page will be updated regularly with finalized outcomes, and the report and resources will be shared with the campus community twice annually.
