The law requires each public and private institution of higher education in Ohio to adopt an anti-hazing policy (PDF) and publish it on its website. This includes a requirement to make anti-hazing education available to all incoming students. Further, any student taking part in a campus-based organization must go through this training.

The College prohibits hazing as part of its Student Code of Conduct and will investigate and respond to all reports of hazing it receives.
