Hazing

Hazing Policy and Reporting

In compliance with federal and state requirements, Columbia Gorge Community College prohibits hazing in all forms. Hazing is defined as any act that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation, admission, affiliation, or continued membership in a group or organization.

All students, staff, and faculty are expected to uphold a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environment. Hazing—whether occurring on or off campus—is strictly forbidden and may result in disciplinary action and legal consequences.

Each year, by October 1, CGCC will publish information on hazing incidents, if any, reported to the college. This report is part of our commitment to transparency and student safety and will be available on this page, or in paper form from Student Services upon request.

Students are encouraged to review the policy, learn how to report concerns, and help foster a culture of belonging and accountability.

More information on hazing, hazing policy, and reporting, will be available soon on this page.
