About the Report
King University is committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and inclusive campus environment. In alignment with our zero-tolerance policy on hazing and in accordance with federal regulations, we publish the Campus Hazing Transparency Report twice a year at the end of each Fall and Spring semester.
This report identifies any recognized student organizations found responsible for hazing and outlines key details regarding each case.
Investigation
All reports of hazing will be investigated promptly and thoroughly by the Student Affairs Office and/or other appropriate offices (e.g., Campus Security, Title IX). Investigations will follow the procedures outlined by the appropriate office.
Coordination with Law Enforcement
Where required, King University will report criminal hazing activity to law enforcement in accordance with Tennessee law.
Sanctions
Violations of this policy may result in:
- Disciplinary sanctions for individuals, including dismissal, expulsion, or termination;
- Sanctions against student organizations or athletic teams, including probation, suspension, loss of recognition, or disbandment;
- Required education, community service, or other corrective actions;
- Referral to law enforcement for potential criminal prosecution.
All sanctions are imposed at the discretion of King University and are subject to the appropriate policy and discipline process and applicable appeal processes.
Education, Training, and Prevention
King University will provide a hazing prevention and education program that includes:
- Mandatory anti-hazing training for all incoming students and members of recognized student organizations or athletic teams;
- Annual training for faculty, staff, coaches, and advisors who oversee student groups;
- Training on bystander intervention, leadership development, and building group cohesion without hazing;
- Information dissemination during orientation and through the Student Handbook.
The recognized staff or faculty member of each recognized student organization will serve as the Hazing Prevention Coordinator (typically the team coach, faculty/staff advisor, or administrator) responsible for ensuring compliance and training completion.
Note: Allegations involving individuals or non-recognized student groups are handled through the general Student Conduct Process outlined in the Student Code of Conduct.
Appeals
Students or organizations wishing to appeal a sanction issued through the conduct process must follow the formal appeals procedure detailed in the Student Conduct Process.
