Elements of an Effective Campus Hazing Policy

Thursday, March 13 at 2:00 p.m. EST

For many campuses, the most significant requirement of the Stop Campus Hazing Act (SCHA) will be the adoption of a comprehensive campus hazing policy. Until now, many campuses have merely listed hazing as a prohibited behavior in their student codes, but have not outlined a separate policy regarding how hazing is investigated and adjudicated. In this webinar, Gentry McCreary of Dyad Strategies and Scott Lewis of TNG Consulting will outline the elements of an effective campus hazing policy.


The topics in this session will include:

  • Defining hazing, and the problems with the SCHA’s hazing definition

  • Reporting mechanisms

  • Investigation and adjudication procedures

  • Tying your hazing policy to your codes of conduct

  • Amnesty and self-reporting

  • Retaliation

The topics in this session will include:

  • Creating a culture of assessment

  • Creating a comprehensive hazing assessment plan

  • Understanding the pros and cons of various hazing measures

What Does “Research-Based” Even Mean? What The Research Actually Says - and Doesn’t Say - About Hazing Prevention Initiatives 

Tuesday, May 20th at 2:00 p.m. EST

The Stop Campus Hazing Act requires campuses to publicly report their “research-based” hazing prevention initiatives. Since that law’s passage, hazing speakers and peddlers of online hazing prevention modules have been proclaiming that their programs are “research-based.” But what does that phrase even mean? And, more importantly, what does the available research actually say about what might work to prevent hazing on college campuses? In this session, Gentry McCreary and Dr. Adam McCready will unpack the problem with the phrase “research-based,” break down some of the myths surrounding the notion of “research-based hazing prevention” and pull ideas from the research about what might actually work to prevent (ore at least reduce the severity of) hazing on college campuses.
