A Note About Retaliation

Victims of hazing are often concerned about retaliation from organization members if they report their experience.

The University strictly prohibits retaliation against an individual who makes a good faith report of suspected wrongful conduct or participates in an investigation, hearing, inquiry or court proceeding involving suspected misconduct at the University. Learn more about the UI's anti-retaliation policy here.
