Campus Hazing Transparency Report (“CHTR”) The Office of Title IX & Equal Opportunity will maintain a report of all violations of Hazing that are reported to the University and which result in a violation of this Policy (CHTR). Such report shall not include any personally identifying information, including any information that would reveal personally identifiable information. The University will update the CHTR bi-annually, in December and June of each year, and will post the updated report on the University’s website. The University shall retain the CHTR for the current year as well as for five consecutive calendar years from the date of publication, or as otherwise consistent with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the University is not required to develop a CHTR until such time that the University has a finding of a Hazing violation. Also, the CHTR does not have to be updated for any period in which the University does not have a finding of a Hazing violation. The CHTR shall include each incident involving a student organization for which a finding of responsibility is issued relating to a Hazing violation, including:
(i) the name of such student organization;
(ii) a general description of the violation that resulted in a finding of responsibility, including whether the violation involved the abuse or illegal use of alcohol or drugs, the findings of WesternU, and any sanctions placed on the student organization by WesternU, as applicable; and
(iii) the dates on which: a) the incident was alleged to have occurred; b) the investigation into the incident was initiated; c) the investigation ended with a finding that a hazing violation occurred; and d) WesternU provided notice to the student organization that the incident resulted in a Hazing violation. The CHTR may also include any additional information determined by WesternU to be necessary or reported as required by State law.
