Hazing Prevention

Take Action / How to Get Help

Arkansas Tech University is dedicated to promoting a safe and healthy campus environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Hazing activities are counterproductive to this effort. Therefore, Arkansas Tech University has a zero tolerance policy for the practice of hazing activities by any member of the University community.

Members of the University community involved in, encouraging, aiding, and/or assisting in hazing or hazing related activities are subject to disciplinary action and reporting of involvement to local police. Failure to report known hazing incidents to a University official or to local police may result in disciplinary action. Making an intentionally false accusation of hazing is prohibited.

If there is a threat of immediate danger, call 911.

Complaints or reports of hazing activities should be reported to a University official or the local police. These University officials include the following:

  • Amy N. Pennington, Associate Vice President/Dean of Students and Title IX Coordinator

While you are encouraged to contact an ATU official, you may also report hazing to the national toll-free anti-hazing hotline at 1-888-NOT-HAZE (1-888-668-4293). Please understand that reporting via this method may limit the University's ability to address the situation.
