Reporting and Transparency
Saint Vincent College is committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and values-driven campus community rooted in the Benedictine Hallmarks of hospitality, integrity, and stewardship. In accordance with the requirements of the Timothy J. Piazza Antihazing Law and the STOP Campus Hazing Act, this Hazing Transparency Report provides timely, publicly accessible information regarding all reported incidents of hazing involving College students or recognized organizations. By sharing these details, the College affirms its dedication to prevention, accountability, and education, and to ensuring that all members of our community can pursue their academic and co-curricular goals free from harm.
The Campus Hazing Transparency Report includes, if known, the name of the organization, the dates of the hazing behavior, investigation, and adjudication timeline, as well as a description of the findings. Any reports of hazing that did not result in a finding of responsibility are not included. Saint Vincent College will update this webpage as outcomes are finalized and will share the transparency report and resources with the campus community twice a year.

If you or anyone you know has or is experiencing any form of hazing, please contact Saint Vincent’s Office of Public Safety at 724-805-2311 or publicsafety@stvincent.edu or use the anonymous reporting form.
NOTE: Annual statistics on hazing will also be available in the College’s Annual Security and Safety Report beginning with the 2026 report. Please note that hazing statistics will be included beginning with the 2026 report (issued in 2027). 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)). Such statistics do not reflect actual findings of hazing behavior, which are included in the Campus Hazing Transparency Report.
