About

Hazing is any activity expected of someone joining or participating in a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them—regardless of their willingness to participate. The UAB administration is unconditionally opposed to any situation created to produce mental and/or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment or ridicule. Hazing is a crime under Alabama law and University policy. UAB prohibits hazing, in any form, against any member of the campus community.

Types of Hazing

• Physical Hazing (e.g., forced exercise, exposure to elements)
• Psychological Hazing (e.g., intimidation, public humiliation)
• Substance-Related Hazing (e.g., forced consumption of alcohol or drugs)
• Coercive Hazing (e.g., sleep deprivation, prohibited tasks)
