E. Other Prohibited Conduct
Bullying:
Repeated and/or severe aggressive behavior
that is likely to intimidate or intentionally hurt, control, or physically or mentally diminish the Complainant,
Endangerment:
Threatening or causing physical harm;
extreme verbal, emotional, or psychological abuse; or
other conduct which threatens or endangers the health or safety of any person or damages their property.
Hazing:
Any act or action
which does or is likely to endanger the mental or physical health or safety of any person
as it relates to a person's initiation, admission into, or affiliation with any University group or organization
For the purposes of this definition:
It is not necessary that a person’s initiation or continued membership is contingent upon participation in the activity, or that the activity was sanctioned or approved by the student group or student organization, for an allegation of Hazing to be upheld
It shall not constitute an excuse or defense to a Hazing allegation that the participants took part voluntarily, gave consent to the conduct, voluntarily assumed the risks or hardship of the activity, or that no injury was suffered or sustained
The actions of alumni, active, new, and/or prospective members of a student group or student organization may be considered Hazing
Retaliation:
The University or any member of the University community,
taking or attempting to take materially adverse action,
by intimidating, threatening, coercing, harassing, or discriminating against any individual,
for the purpose of interfering with any right or privilege secured by law or Policy, or
because the individual has made a report or compliant, testified, assisted or participated or refused to participate in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under the Policy and associated procedures.
It is not Retaliation for the University to puruse disciplinary action against those who make materially flse statements in bad faith in the course of a resolution process under the Policy. However, the determination of responsibility, by itself, is not sufficient to conclude that any party has made a materially false statement in bad faith.
