Cougs don't haze.
Being a Coug means being part of a respectful, safe community that welcomes and includes everyone. Hazing hurts individuals and our entire campus community by creating environments of fear and discrimination.
If you’re not sure if something is hazing, try asking yourself the following questions:
- Would I feel ucomfortable with this activity if my family were watching?
- Does this activity violate any WSU or organizational standards or codes of conduct?
- Is this activity illegal?
- Does this activity cause participants emotional, physical, or mental distress?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, please make a report to the university.

Hazing Prevention Training
The goal of this course is to assist WSU in maintaining a safe and respectful working and learning environment. It defines hazing, identifies key WSU Executive Policies addressing these topics, gives examples of “look-fors” for managers when supervising staff, and provides links to resources available to help in cases of alleged hazing incidents. The training also highlights employee and supervisor responsibilities when hazing misconduct is reported or observed.
