Bi-Annual Update: Campus Hazing Transparency Report

Joining a student organization at Adelphi University is a positive, growth-oriented experience grounded in respect, safety and belonging. To reinforce these values and comply with the Stop Campus Hazing Act (Clery Act), Adelphi publishes a Campus Hazing Transparency Report and maintains a strict Anti-Hazing Policy. The report provides students, families and the campus community with clear, accurate information about substantiated hazing incidents involving recognized student organizations, supporting safe and informed participation in campus life.

What is the Campus Hazing Transparency Report?

While our Anti-Hazing Policy defines hazing and outlines prohibited conduct, the Campus Hazing Transparency Report serves as a public log of substantiated incidents in which established or recognized student organizations were found responsible for hazing violations. It includes:

• The organization's name and the nature of the violation.
• Specific findings, including whether alcohol or drugs were involved.
• Disciplinary sanctions and key dates of the investigation and adjudication (finding of responsibility).

View the Current Report

The report is updated every December and June and can be viewed on Adelphi's Stop Campus Hazing web page.

• January 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026: No incidents of hazing that resulted in investigation and adjudication were reported during this period.

Our Commitment to a Safe Campus

Adelphi opposes hazing in any form. We remind all students, faculty and staff that our Anti-Hazing Policy applies to all student organizations-whether officially recognized by the University or not. Violations may result in serious consequences under both the Adelphi Code of Conduct and New York state Penal Law (Sections 120.16 and 120.17), ranging from University expulsion to potential criminal penalties.

This Report Differs From the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report

Later this year, hazing statistics will also be included in Adelphi's Annual Security and Fire Safety Report (ASFSR), published annually by October 1. Both reports include information about hazing but serve different purposes and follow different federal reporting requirements.

• Campus Hazing Transparency Report: A public record of only substantiated findings of responsibility involving recognized student organizations.
• Annual Security and Fire Safety Report: An anonymous statistical summary of all reported hazing allegations occurring within Clery-defined geography, regardless of whether the allegations were substantiated. Because the ASFSR includes all reported allegations, its hazing statistics may be higher than those included in the Campus Hazing Transparency Report.

If You Witness or Experience Hazing

We strongly encourage timely reporting to the appropriate authorities through the following channels:

• Public Safety: Report hazing by visiting our office on the first floor of Levermore Hall or calling 516.877.3511 (24/7). Reports are shared with Student Conduct and Community Standards.
• Student Conduct and Community Standards: Visit Levermore Hall, room 208, call 516.877.3612 or email [email protected]. Reports are shared with Public Safety.
• Online Reporting: Submit reports via the University's online reporting form, selecting "Hazing" as the main issue. Providing as much detail as possible will help us respond effectively. These reports can be submitted anonymously.

Thank you for helping foster a culture of respect, safety and belonging for every member of our community.
