Hazing Policy
Texas Christian University believes safety is essential to maximizing the University community's potential. It prohibits hazing by any individual or group affiliated with it, whether the individual or group is recognized officially by TCU in any form.
The Stop Campus Hazing Act mandates that institutions publicly share their hazing policies, investigation procedures, and prevention initiatives. It also requires universities to publish a Hazing Transparency Report twice annually. Information about TCU's hazing policy, investigation processes, and reporting options is available in the Code of Student Conduct.
