This applies regardless of the individual\u2019s willingness to participate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why it Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hazing undermines trust, safety, and the values we uphold at Marshall University. It can have lasting physical, emotional, and psychological effects. Students deserve to join campus communities without fear or pressure to participate in harmful activities.<\/p>\n<p>Hazing isn\u2019t just against university policy; hazing is illegal under <a href=\"https:\/\/code.wvlegislature.gov\/18-16-2\/\">West Virginia Code \u00a718-16-2<\/a>. Those found responsible may face legal consequences in addition to university sanctions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Marshall University Hazing Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Marshall University&#8217;s policy on hazing is outlined in Section 5.2.2.12 on Page 6 of the Student Rights and Responsibilities:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Hazing: means to cause any action or situation which recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of another person or persons or causes another person or persons to destroy or remove public or private property for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in, any organization operating under the sanction of or recognized as an organization by an institution of higher education. The term includes, but is not limited to, any brutality of a physical nature, such as whipping, beating, branding, forced consumption of any food, liquor, drug or other substance, or any other forced physical activity which could adversely affect the physical health and safety of the individual or individuals, and includes any activity which would subject the individual or individuals to extreme mental stress, such as sleep deprivation, forced exclusion from social contact, forced conduct which could result in extreme embarrassment, or any other forced activity which could adversely affect the mental health or dignity of the individual or individuals, or any willful destruction or removal of public or private property: Further, the implied or expressed consent or willingness of a person or persons to hazing shall not be a defense.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-col gap-px pb-4
