Campus Hazing Transparency Report

Keeping Our Campus Safe

Pursuant to the Stop Campus Hazing Act, Manhattan Area Technical College (Manhattan Tech) provides biannual updates summarizing findings related to hazing. Pursuant to Section 485(f) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1092(f)), Manhattan Tech provides a report of past hazing misconduct involving student organizations and clubs. The information below includes the name of the student organization, a general description of the violation(s), whether hazing involved the abuse or illegal use of alcohol or drugs, key dates (when hazing took place [if known], start/end of investigation, when student organization was notified of outcome), the findings for the determination of responsibility, and the sanctions imposed. Reports of hazing that did not result in a finding of responsibility are not included. Information provided in the report will not include personally identifiable information about specific individuals. Any student organizations under active investigation will not appear in the Campus Hazing Transparency Report until conclusion of the investigation (and findings of responsibility). Assumption University updates this report twice a year and will maintain entries concerning findings of misconduct in this report for 5 years.

Annual statistics on hazing are available in the College’s Annual Fire Safety and Security Report beginning with the 2026 report (issued on or before October 1, 2026). Hazing statistics include incident reports that meet the federal definition of hazing in Section 485(f)(6)(A) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1092(f)(6)(A)). These statistics do not reflect actual findings of hazing behavior, which are included in the Campus Hazing Transparency Report.

2024-25 Academic Year

No findings of responsibility.

Security and Fire Safety Reports

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act were signed into law in November 1999. At the time it was known as the “Student’s Right to Know and Campus Security Act.” The law requires educational institutions participating in student financial aid programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 to disclose college crime statistics by October 1st of each year via the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report. The report includes safety policies and procedures and provides statistics concerning certain crimes that occurred on campus for the three previous calendar years. In compliance with the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008, these reports also include information on the required fire safety policies and fire-related statistics. The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report includes information to comply with the Campus Save Act of 2013.

Every member of the College community annually receives an email that describes the report and provides its web address.
