What is the Campus Hazing Transparency Report?

At Buffalo State University, we are committed to upholding a zero-tolerance policy against all forms of hazing. To remain consistent with our policy and in accordance with federal law, Buffalo State publishes this report twice a year, listing any student organization found responsible for hazing. It will be published at the conclusion of the Fall and Spring semesters.
