Hazing Prevention

Hazing Reporting

Reporting Hazing Incidents

Pursuant to RCW 28B.10.907, All CWU employees, including student employees and volunteers, are mandated to report any reasonable cause to believe that hazing has occurred. “Reasonable cause” means a person who witnesses hazing or receives a credible written or oral report alleging hazing or potential or planned hazing activity. A person who witnesses hazing or has reasonable cause to believe hazing has occurred or will occur and makes a report in good faith may not be sanctioned or punished for the violation of hazing unless the person is directly engaged in the planning, directing, or act of hazing reported. This requirement does not include confidential employees, unless the employee has a supervisory role or position of authority over students.

To report a hazing incident:

  • Submit a Concern and Support report and select “Concern & Support for a Student” under the Report Type; or
  • Submit a report directly to the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities (OSRR) by emailing Student.Conduct@cwu.edu or calling 509-963-1817.

In accordance with the Stop Campus Hazing Act and RCW 28B.10.906, we maintain a publicly accessible report detailing findings of hazing violations by student organizations, athletic teams, or living groups.
