Pursuant to Section 485(f) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1092(f)), Clark University provides a report of past hazing misconduct involving student organizations, clubs, and athletics teams. The information below includes the name of the student organization, a general description of the violation(s), whether hazing involved the abuse or illegal use of alcohol or drugs, key dates (when hazing took place [if known], start\/end of investigation, when student organization was notified of outcome), the findings for the determination of responsibility, and the sanctions imposed. Reports of hazing that did not result in a finding of responsibility are not included. Information provided in the report will not include personally identifiable information about specific individuals. Any student organizations under active investigation will not appear on the Campus Hazing Transparency Report until the conclusion of the investigation (and findings of responsibility). Clark University updates this report twice a year and will maintain entries concerning findings of misconduct in this report for 5 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annual statistics on hazing are available in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/offices\/university-police\/annual-security-and-fire-safety-report\/\">University\u2019s Annual Fire Safety and Security Report<\/a>. Please note that hazing statistics will be included beginning with the 2026 report (issued in 2027). Hazing statistics include incident reports that meet the federal definition of hazing in Section 485(f)(6)(A) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C 1092(f)(6)(A)). Such statistics do not reflect actual findings of hazing behavior, which are included in the Campus Hazing Transparency Report.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2025-26-academic-year\">2025-26 Academic Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Hip Hop Collabo<\/summary>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Date of Incident(s)<\/strong><\/td><td>September 21, 2025; Fall 2025<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Date Reported<\/strong><\/td><td>September 22, 2025<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Dates of Investigation<\/strong><\/td><td>September 22, 2025 \u2013 November 5, 2025<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Date of Responsible Finding<\/strong><\/td><td>October 16, 2025<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Policy Violation(s)<\/strong><\/td><td>Hazing<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Sanction(s)<\/strong><\/td><td>Written Warning, Reflection Paper<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-description-of-hazing-incident-s\">Description of Hazing Incident(s)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Following an investigation, the University found Hip Hop Collabo responsible for hazing based upon the following behaviors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Club leadership implemented policy requiring members who arrived late to practice to run laps in front of other students, which varied in length depending on how late they were.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the totality of the findings and the relatively low level of severity, the University issued a written warning and required the organization to complete a reflective educational assignment.
