Anti-hazing
Hazing is any action taken as part of an initiation (or re-initiation) into “any student or other organization” that causes mental or physical harm to another person (or creates a substantial risk of that harm occurring), including coercing another person to consume alcohol or drugs. Hazing behavior is strictly prohibited at Denison and is a criminal offense under Ohio law when it causes mental or physical harm to another person, or creates a substantial risk of such harm.
