P URPOSE It is the policy of CCAC that all students are entitled to be treated with consideration and respect. No person may perform an act that is likely to cause physical or psychological harm or social ostracism to any other person within the College community. In furtherance of these principles, and pursuant to state law, the College has adopted a strict prohibition on hazing activities, as described below. H AZING P ROHIBITED All CCAC students and student organizations, including all individual members, alumni and/or all other persons associated with such organizations, are prohibited from engaging in acts of hazing. Student organizations subject to this prohibition include all organizations, clubs, associations, corporations, orders, societies, and service or social groups, and all other similar groups or associations, that are recognized or sanctioned by CCAC. As used herein, the term “students” includes individuals who attend CCAC as well as individuals who have applied for admission to or have been admitted to attend CCAC. Acts of hazing prohibited by CCAC include any acts that are undertaken intentionally, knowingly or recklessly, for the purpose of either (1) initiating, admitting or affiliating a student into or with a student organization or (2) continuing or enhancing a student’s membership or status in such an organization, and which serve to cause, coerce or force a student to do any of the following: a. Violate any Federal or State criminal law; b. Consume any food, liquid, alcoholic liquid, drug or other substance which subjects the student to a risk of emotional or physical harm; c. Endure brutality of a physical nature, including whipping, beating, branding, calisthenics or exposure to the elements; d. Endure brutality of a mental nature, including sleep deprivation, exclusion from social contact or conduct that could result in extreme embarrassment, and other activities that adversely
affect the mental health of an individual; e. Endure brutality of a sexual nature; or
f. Endure any other activity that creates a reasonable likelihood of bodily injury to the student. It shall also be a violation of the College’s prohibition on hazing for any student organization to intentionally, knowingly or recklessly promote or facilitate any act of hazing described above, or for any student or student organization to engage in any other act that constitutes a criminal offense
