Anti-Hazing/Sam's Law
Clark College is committed to and maintains an atmosphere of social and ethical responsibility. It is the College's belief that learning and working occurs in environments where learners, employees, and visitors feel safe, secure, and welcome. Hazing is antithetical to this College’s commitment to maintaining a positive educational environment. The group or organization, regardless of chartered status, has the responsibility to ensure its activities are acceptable under this policy. Participation in hazing activities is against the law. This policy applies to hazing occurring in student organizations, groups, and activity between two or more people who are affiliated with the college regardless of whether it occurs at sanctioned or non-sanctioned events, on- or off-campus and is effective from enrollment to commencement, including breaks in the academic year. Questions regarding the acceptability of a proposed organization activity should be discussed with the Clark College Office of Care & Conduct. View Full Hazing Policy
