Hazing Case Log

Hazing Transparency Report

Southwest Minnesota State University is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive campus environment free from hazing. In compliance with the Stop Campus Hazing Act, signed into law on December 23, 2024, and effective as of January 1, 2025, the institution has implemented policies and procedures to prevent, address, and report hazing incidents. This federal legislation amends the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) to include hazing as a reportable offense and mandates enhanced transparency and prevention efforts.

Beginning July 1, 2025, Southwest Minnesota State University will collect information on hazing incidents involving student organizations that are found to be in violation of our standards of conduct. If any incidents occur, this information summarized in the Campus Hazing Transparency Report (CHTR), which is publicly available below, no later than December 23, 2025, and updated at least twice annually (January 15 and July 15). The CHTR includes the name of the organization, a general description of the violation, dates of the incident and investigation, findings, and any sanctions imposed, while protecting personally identifiable information in compliance with applicable privacy laws.

The following report contains no entries because there were no reported incidents of hazing at Southwest Minnesota State University during the reporting period of January 1, 2025, through June 30, 2025.
