The Stop Campus Hazing Act amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require colleges and universities to disclose hazing incidents in their annual security reports. It mandates institutions to define hazing, compile statistics on reported cases, and establish transparent policies for reporting and prevention.  

Galen College of Nursing utilizes the following federal definition of hazing for the purpose of Clery Act reporting and to determine if an organization has committed a violation:

Hazing includes any intentional, knowing, or reckless act committed by a person (whether individually or in concert with other persons) against another person or persons regardless of the willingness of such other person or persons to participate, that is committed in the course of an initiation into, an affiliation with, or the maintenance of membership in, a student organization and causes or creates a risk of physical or psychological injury, above the reasonable risk encountered in the course of participation in the college or the organization.
