Hazing Policy and Procedure
Hazing is abusive, degrading, psychologically damaging, and may be life-threatening. It is unacceptable in all forms and has no place in the Bard College community. Student groups, organizations, and athletic teams are important contributors to a vibrant and positive campus life and are expected to act in accordance with the Bard College Student Handbook and to treat others with respect. Hazing in any form by individuals and student organizations is prohibited both on- and off-campus. In the event any organization at Bard College shall authorize such conduct, permission for that organization to operate on campus property shall be rescinded. Such rescindment shall be in addition to any criminal penalty pursuant to local, state, or federal law.
