Hazing is defined as "any activity expected of someone joining a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers, regardless of the persons willingness to participate". (Source: Alfred University Study on Hazing, circa 1999)
Each head coach is responsible for informing his/her squad, prior to the beginning of each season, of this policy and that violations are subject to suspension from the squad.
