Hazing is taken seriously at Ferris State University and the practice is prohibited by the University. If a student organization is found to haze its members, the organization faces penalties including removal from campus. Individual students may also face University judicial charges and sometimes criminal charges.

The Ferris State University Student Handbook defines hazing as:

“…any conduct which subjects another person (whether physically, mentally, emotionally, or psychologically) to anything that may endanger, abuse, degrade, or intimidate the person as a condition of association with a group or organization regardless of the person’s consent…”

The Hazing Hotline is a proactive way for Ferris State University to deal with the problem of hazing. The Hazing Hotline is open to any student, faculty member, staff person, parent, or member of the community who has a concern regarding possible hazing.
