Ospreys Don't Haze
What is Hazing?
UNF's official regulation on hazing is the 5.0020R Anti-Hazing Regulation.
The term “hazing” for the purposes of this regulation means any intentional, knowing, or reckless act or situation that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of another person, committed by a person against another person regardless of the willingness of such other person or persons to participate that is committed:
-
In the course of initiation into any student organization;
-
For admission into any student organization;
-
For affiliation with any student organization;
-
In maintenance, perpetuation, or furtherance of a tradition or ritual of any student organization
To review the full definition of hazing, including what may constitute as hazing, please review the 5.0020R Anti-Hazing Regulation in its entirety.
Hazing is a criminal offense in Florida, and UNF shares the national concern over the negative effects of hazing on the campus environment. The University will take strong and swift action against any instances of hazing, and will refer to local or state authorities for criminal prosecution whenever appropriate.
