Stop Campus Hazing Act (SCHA)
The Stop Campus Hazing Act (SCHA) is federal legislation signed into law in December 2024. The SCHA has three important aspects:
- the addition of hazing to Clery reporting requirements and campuses橝nnual Security Report (ASR)
- the requirement of campus-wide, research-based hazing prevention programs and policies
- increased transparency regarding organizations that have violated campus hazing policy through the publication of a Campus Hazing Transparency Report.
In alignment with this law and to allow students to make informed choices about joining organizations, the university publishes a list of recognized student organizations that have been found responsible for violating Northwestern University檚 hazing policy. It is important to note that Northwestern檚 hazing definition is broader than the federal and state definitions.
Statistics reported in the Campus Hazing Transparency Report may differ from those included in the ASR. 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)). The statistics reported in the ASR only include incidents within Clery geography and do not reflect actual findings of hazing, which are included in the Campus Hazing Transparency Report.
The report below will be updated at a minimum of twice per year, but typically within 14 days of the resolution date. The 2024-2025 report includes any findings of responsibility, effective July 1, 2025, for the year and reported no later than December 23 of the same year. The University will maintain the information on the website for five years.
2024-25 report
No allegations of hazing reported
