The intent is that faculty will either show this short three-minute video during class time, or post it on your Blackboard page and require all students in their class watch it sometime during the fall 2022 semester.

The intent behind this video is to supplement what may already be covered in your syllabus and raise awareness regarding academic integrity at Wichita State.

Wichita State’s Student Conduct and Community Standards (SCCS) office is helping faculty and staff by raising awareness of certain policies in the Code of Conduct at WSU. One of these policies includes hazing.

• Has the potential to endanger the mental or physical health or safety of any individual
• Interferes with an individual’s responsibilities
• Explicitly or implicitly encourages or requires participation in activities that violate the law or University policy

Hazing can occur by anyone in any organization.
