What Arizona universities have published about hazing

How to read this page

Below are the concluded hazing findings that each school has posted, as we read them on October 8, 2026. We summarize what each school published, and the school's own page is the source. We list only findings. Investigations that are still open are not findings, so we leave them out, and we don't name individual students. Schools update these pages, so check the source for the latest.

Why these records exist

Arizona law requires each public school, community college and university to adopt a hazing policy (A.R.S. § 15-2301), but it doesn't require them to publish findings. The federal Stop Campus Hazing Act does. It requires colleges that take part in federal student aid to post a hazing transparency report listing the organizations found responsible, a description, the findings, the sanctions and key dates, without student names (Pub. L. 118-173).

What a finding means for a claim

A finding applies a school's own rules to a student organization. It doesn't decide whether anyone owes your family anything. If a group you know about is listed, it can be useful context. If it isn't listed, that doesn't mean nothing happened. Many incidents are never reported to the school. You don't need a finding to ask a question or to bring a claim.

Quick answers

Do I need a university finding to bring a claim?

No. A civil claim doesn't depend on a university finding, an arrest or a conviction.

Is a university hazing finding a court judgment?

No. A university finding is a public record of what the school found about a student organization, and when. It applies the school's own rules and is not a court judgment.

Why do universities publish hazing findings?

The federal Stop Campus Hazing Act, signed in December 2024, requires colleges that take part in federal student aid to post a hazing transparency report of findings against student organizations, updated at least twice a year and kept online for five years (Pub. L. 118-173).
