APPENDIX F Cheverus High School – Department of Athletics Prohibition Against Hazing The Department of Athletics at Cheverus High School supports only those activities which are constructive, educational, inspirational, and that contribute to the intellectual and personal development of student-athletes. CHS Athletics unequivocally opposes any situation created intentionally to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule. CHS interprets hazing as any act whether physical, mental, emotional, or psychological, which subjects another person, voluntarily or in voluntarily, to anything that may abuse, mistreat, degrade, humiliate, harass, or intimidate him/her, or which may in any fashion compromise his/her inherent dignity as a person. In addition, any requirements by a member which compels another member to participate in any activity which is against high school policy or state/federal law will be defined as hazing. Actions and activities which are prohibited include, but are not limited to, the following: Any type of initiation or other activity where there is an expectation of individuals joining a particular team to participate in behavior designed to humiliate, degrade, or abuse them regardless of the person’s willingness to participate. Forcing, requiring, or pressuring an individual to consume alcohol or any other substance. Forcing, requiring, or pressuring an individual to shave any part of their body, including the hair on their head. Any requirement or pressure put on an individual to participate in any activity that is illegal, perverse, publicly indecent, contrary to his/her genuine morals and/or beliefs, e.g., public profanity, indecent or lewd conduct, or sexual gestures in public. Requiring eating of anything an individual would refuse to eat otherwise. Any activity or action that creates a risk to the health, safety, or property of the High School or any member of its community. Forcing or requiring calisthenics, such as push-ups, sit-ups, and runs. Assigning or endorsing “pranks” such as stealing or harassment of another organization. Awakening or disturbing individuals during normal sleeping hours. Expecting or pressuring individuals to participate in an activity in which the full membership is not willing to participate. Physical abuse of any kind. Forcing, encouraging, or pressuring someone to wear in public apparel which is conspicuous and not within the norm of what is considered to be in good taste. Nudity at any time, or forced reading of pornographic material. Paddling, beating or otherwise permitting a member to hit other members. Having substance such as eggs, mud, paint, honey, etc., thrown at, poured on, or otherwise applied to the body of a member.
