Incidents of hazing or suspected hazing by faculty or staff should be reported to the Office of Human Resources.
These offices are considered mandatory reporters and must share all reports of hazing or suspected hazing with the Office of the Dean of Students.

The process used to investigate
Reports of hazing at Wellesley College are referred to the Honor Code to be adjudicated with input from relevant administrative offices, such as the Director of Physical Education Recreation and Athletics (PERA) and the Director of Student Involvement and Leadership. The Dean of Students Office in their discretion can deem reports of hazing to be appropriate for administrative resolution.
