Annual Hazing Training (mandatory)
This training is required of all student organization members and prospective members (which I interpret as all students, as anyone is a prospective member of the organizations at the College).
Each organization shall provide, annually, at least two hours of hazing-prevention education that includes instruction on such policies to all members, prospective members, and anyone employed by or volunteering with the organization. The education may be provided in person, electronically, or both. Each organization shall submit a report annually to the institution with which it is affiliated relative to the students, employees, and volunteers receiving such education, evidenced by an attestation of such individuals receiving the education. The institution shall terminate the organization's on-campus operations if it fails to comply with the provisions of this Subsection and shall submit a report to the House Committee on Education and the Senate Committee on Education upon such termination.
The Board of Supervisors of the Louisiana Community and Technical College System (LCTCS) and Delgado Community College are committed to providing a supportive educational environment free from hazing; one that promotes its students' mental and physical well-being, safety, and respect for one's self and others. In an effort to maintain safety and in accordance with Louisiana Revised Statute 17:1801.1, 14:40.8, 14.502, mandatory Acts 635, 637 and 640, as well as the Board of Regents' Uniform Policy on Hazing Prevention, LCTCS Policy #2.003, Campus Safety and Hazing, and Delgado Policy SA-1479.1 Anti-Hazing, hazing in any form is prohibited at Delgado for all students who participate in the institutions' activities and organizations.
