As of January 15, 2019, Pennsylvania requires all institutions of higher education to post bi-annual reports of all hazing incidents which occur on every campus. The initial report is to include incidents from the previous five years.
Neumann University's report published for January 2019 contains statistics for 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 in accordance with Act 80 of 2018, the Timothy J. Piazza Anti-hazing Law, 18 Pa.C.S. § 2809 et seq., and is updated bi-annually January 1 and August 1.
Neumann University students and student organizations are expected to uphold an atmosphere of respect for and sensitivity to the dignity of every person, to promote character development, to enhance the integrity of higher education, and to promote civility in society adhering to fundamental values of reverence, integrity, service, excellence and stewardship. Hazing runs counter to all of these objectives, and is prohibited.
Neumann University strictly prohibits hazing, regardless of its form. Hazing violates the mission and values of Neumann University and is considered unlawful in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. No student or organization shall directly engage in hazing or indirectly encourage, aid, or assist any other person or organization in hazing. All students and other University representatives, including employees, should immediately report known or suspected hazing violations as directed herein.
Any individual who believes he or she has been the victim of hazing, or any student, staff, or faculty member who has personally observed or has knowledge or belief of conduct that may constitute hazing, has a duty to report the possible hazing immediately. To report hazing, please provide specific information about the hazing incident to any of the following:
Neumann University strongly encourages complainants to also report to the police all hazing that may violate university policy and criminal laws. Neumann University will assist complainants of potentially criminal hazing in notifying law enforcement authorities. Reporting hazing to Neumann University does not require the complainant to report the incident or file charges with the police.
