Doral College Hazing Prevention and Transparency

Doral College is committed to a safe, respectful, and supportive educational environment. Hazing is prohibited by College policy and by law, and it has no place in our community, whether online or in person. This page provides information about the College's hazing policies, how to report hazing, how reports are investigated, applicable law, and the College's Campus Hazing Transparency Report, as required by the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act as amended by the Stop Campus Hazing Act.

Campus Hazing Transparency Report

The Campus Hazing Transparency Report (CHTR) lists any student organization that Doral College has found responsible for violating the College's standards of conduct relating to hazing. For each finding, the report includes the following:

  • The name of the student organization.
  • A general description of the violation, including whether alcohol or drugs were involved.
  • The College's findings and any sanctions imposed.
  • The date the incident occurred, the date the investigation began, the date the investigation ended with a finding of responsibility, and the date the College notified the organization of the finding.

The CHTR does not include the name or any other personally identifiable information of any individual. The College updates the report at least twice each year. Information about each finding stays on the report for five calendar years from the date of the most recent update.

Hazing Statistics in the Annual Security Report

Doral College publishes statistics on hazing incidents reported to Campus Security Authorities or local police agencies in its Annual Security and Fire Safety Report (ASR). The ASR is published by October 1 each year and covers the three most recent calendar years. The CHTR and the ASR measure different things. The ASR counts reported incidents within the College's Clery geography, whether or not anyone was found responsible. The CHTR lists findings of responsibility against student organizations, regardless of where the conduct occurred.

A paper copy of the ASR is available free of charge upon request by contacting 305-463-7210.

What Is Hazing

Doral College's Student Code of Conduct defines hazing as any conduct or method of initiation into any student organization, whether on public or private property, that willfully or recklessly endangers the physical or mental health of any student or other person. This includes, for example:

  • Forced physical activity.
  • Forced consumption of food, alcohol, or other substances.
  • Exposure to the elements.
  • Sleep deprivation.
  • Extended isolation.
  • Any other brutal treatment or conduct that causes extreme mental stress.

Under federal law, hazing is any intentional, knowing, or reckless act committed against another person, whether or not that person is willing to participate, that meets both of these conditions:

  1. It is committed in the course of an initiation into, an affiliation with, or the maintenance of membership in a student organization.
  2. It causes or creates a risk of physical or psychological injury, above the reasonable risk encountered in the course of participation.

A "student organization" is any organization at the College in which two or more members are enrolled students, whether or not the College officially recognizes it.

Some signs that an activity may be hazing:

  • A selected group is singled out for a ritual.
  • The activity produces behavior or pictures you would not share with your parents, instructors, or the public.
  • The activity is humiliating, demeaning, intimidating, or exhausting, and/or results in physical or emotional discomfort, involves harassment or ridicule, or which endangers the health or safety of any person whether on or off campus

How to Report Hazing

If anyone is in immediate danger, call 911.

To report suspected hazing to the College, contact any of the following:

  • The Vice President for Enrollment Management and Development: Cristina Guerra Romero, cguerraromero@doral.edu.
  • The General Counsel and Clery Compliance Officer: Ryan Kairalla, rkairalla@doral.edu.
  • Any designated Campus Security Authority (CSA). The current list appears in the Annual Security Report

Reports should include as much detail as you can provide, such as what happened, when and where it happened, and which organization or individuals were involved. You may ask that your identity be kept confidential. Doral College prohibits retaliation against anyone who reports hazing or takes part in an investigation in good faith.

How Hazing Reports Are Investigated

Doral College takes every report of hazing seriously and investigates it through a prompt, fair, and impartial process. The process has five stages:

  • Initial review. The Division of Student Affairs reviews the report and available documentation and may interview witnesses. Where there is a danger to the health or safety of the community, the College may take immediate interim action, which can include suspending an organization's activities.
  • Investigation and hearing. If the matter is not resolved at initial review, it proceeds to a disciplinary hearing. Individuals and organizations may be accompanied by an advisor of their choice.
  • Standard of evidence. Responsibility is determined by a preponderance of the evidence, meaning whether it is more likely than not that a violation occurred.
  • Sanctions. Organizations found responsible may face sanctions including warning, probation, loss of privileges, suspension, or loss of recognition. Individual students may face sanctions up to and including expulsion. Employees may face discipline up to and including termination.
  • Notice and appeal. The College provides written notice of the outcome, the sanctions, and the procedure for appeal.

Findings of responsibility against a student organization are published in the Campus Hazing Transparency Report.
