The Hazing Prevention and Response Team has developed a range of resources, guides, and toolkits for stakeholders to increase awareness of hazing behaviors and to help them report concerns to the University. These resources are free to our stakeholders.聽
Resources for stakeholders
The Hazing Prevention and Response Team has developed resources to help stakeholders better understand hazing behavior and empower them to report concerns to the university. Multiple toolkits, guides, and resources are still in development and will be published once finished. If there’s a specific toolkit that would be beneficial to you, please email nohazing@uw.edu.
President Biden signed the Stop Campus Hazing Act into law in December 2024. The law requires colleges and universities to include hazing incidents in their annual security reports. Institutions must define hazing, collect and disclose statistics on reported cases, and implement clear, evidence-based policies for reporting and prevention. Additionally, schools are mandated to publish a transparency report summarizing violations by student organizations.

This toolkit is for parents, guardians, and families to understand hazing behaviors, the impact they can have on your child, and methods to report hazing.
Washington State’s Anti-Hazing Law, known as Sam’s Law, was enacted in March 2022. Sam Martinez was a first-year student at Washington State University in the fall of 2019. He died from acute alcohol poisoning after a hazing incident. This law strengthens requirements for hazing prevention education for students and employees at higher education institutions, requires transparency of organizations and athletic teams responsible for hazing, and more.
Reporting hazing concerns to the University allows us to provide resources to those who may be impacted by the action, and hold individuals and organizations accountable for engaging in the behavior. It helps keep our community safe.
