Hazing

Washington Anti-Hazing Law (Sam’s Law) provides that hazing awareness and prevention education must be provided to all students, be part of new student orientation programs, and cover:

• hazing awareness, prevention and intervention;
• the signs and dangers of hazing; and
• institutional prohibition of and policies on hazing.

This law also provides amnesty to anyone who makes a good faith report after witnessing hazing or receiving information that a hazing occurred or will occur, protecting them against sanctions or punishment for related hazing violations.
