As a part of the Stop Campus Hazing Act implementation, institutions are required to provide education on the Campus Hazing Transparency Report by December 23, 2025.
The Stop Campus Hazing Act represents a nationwide commitment to fostering campus communities built on respect, responsibility and safety. East Texas A&M University is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all members of the campus community. Hazing in any form is strictly prohibited by students, student groups or employees. This statement identifies ETAMU’s approach to hazing awareness and prevention as well as reporting requirements in accordance with institutional policies and applicable jurisdictional laws.
Consent to hazing is not a defense under the law, and organizations found guilty may be fined. ETAMU is committed to consistently provide ongoing education to the campus community as well as policy enforcement.
