SJCME Statement On Hazing
Hazing is antithetical to our strong ethic of community and is strictly prohibited. This strict prohibition is an expression of the Core Values at Saint Joseph’s College of Maine (SJCME), and complies with the Saint Joseph’s College of Maine’s (SJCME) Student Handbook, Maine law as set forth in Chapter 159 of the Public Laws of 1983 (20-A M.R.S.A. 10004) and the federal Stop Campus Hazing Act, which amended the Higher Education Act of 1965 and requires Colleges and Universities to define hazing, compile and disclose reported incidents of hazing in their annual security reports and a Campus Hazing Transparency Report, and establish transparent policies for reporting and prevention..
Any violation of this policy, including any violation of State and/or Tribal Laws governing hazing by any SJCME student or employee should be reported to SJCME in accordance with this policy (see below “How to Report”).
