Hazing Information at Southeast Tech

Southeast Technical College aims to maintain a safe learning environment for students and employees free from hazing. Hazing activities of any type are contrary to the educational goals of STC and are prohibited.

No student, employee, volunteer or contractor of STC shall plan, direct, encourage, aid or engage in hazing. No employee, volunteer or contractor of STC shall permit, condone or tolerate hazing. Apparent permission or consent by a person being hazed does not lessen the prohibitions. This applies to behavior that occurs on or off STC property, including student housing and all STC-related activities.

Reporting Procedures

  • Any person who believes they have been a victim of hazing or any person with knowledge or belief of conduct that may constitute hazing shall report the alleged acts immediately.
  • Employees, volunteers and contractors of STC shall be particularly alert to situations, circumstances, or events that might include hazing. Any person who receives a report of, observes, or has other knowledge or belief of conduct that may constitute hazing shall report the alleged acts immediately.
  • A formal complaint may be submitted on the See Something, Say Something - Concerning Behavior Report form available on myTech or to any STC administrator. STC will act to investigate all complaints (formal or informal, verbal or written) of hazing. Submission of a good faith complaint or report of hazing will not affect the complainant or reporter’s future employment, grades, or work assignments.

STC strictly prohibits any form of retaliation against individuals who report hazing, participate in an investigation or oppose hazing activities. Retaliation includes, but is not limited to, intimidation, harassment, threats or any adverse action that could discourage individuals from reporting or participating in the investigation of hazing incidents.
