Hazing Prevention

As outlined in Montgomery College's Anti-Hazing (PDF, Get Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader - Link opens in new window) policy and procedure #42004, Montgomery College is committed to ensuring the health and safety of all students. Hazing presents a serious risk to the health and safety of students, is against state and federal law, and is strictly prohibited at the College.

Hazing is defined as an intentional, knowing, or reckless act committed by a person (whether individually or in concert with other persons) against another person or persons, regardless of the willingness of such other person or persons to participate, that is:

  1. committed in the course of an initiation into an affiliation with, or the maintenance of membership in, a student organization; and
  2. causes or creates a risk, above the reasonable risk encountered in the course of participation in the institution of higher education or the organization (such as the physical preparation necessary for participation in an athletic team), of physical or psychological injury.

Report Hazing Incidents

All members of the MC community must report known or suspected hazing incidents and are encouraged to make such reports promptly to maximize the College’s ability to respond and take appropriate action, including obtaining evidence and conducting a prompt and equitable investigation.

Campus Security Authority personnel are considered mandatory reporters and must report known or suspected hazing incidents immediately upon learning of them.

Hazing incidents may be reported through any of the following means:

  1. The Office of Public Safety at any location, or to any designated Campus Security Authority. 
  2. The Office of the Dean of Student Affairs at any location or onlinenew window.
  3. The Title IX Coordinator in the Office of Compliance, Risk, and Ethics at 240-567-4279 or HazingConcerns@montgomerycollege.edu.
