In compliance with the Georgia SB 85 "Max Gruver Act," beginning July 1, 2021, Georgia Tech will publicly disclose administrative adjudications of hazing or hazing-related convictions. This information will be posted within 15 calendar days of final adjudication or public notice of conviction and remain posted for a period of not less than five years. Records will include the name of any school organization involved, the date(s) of occurrence, and a description of specific hazing-related findings, sanctions, adjudications, and convictions for any person or school organization.
Additionally, as required by the “Stop Campus Hazing Act,” effective January 1, 2025, Georgia Tech will collect statistics on hazing incidents, which will be published within the Campus Hazing Transparency Report (CHTR). This report will include all data points gathered in accordance with the “Max Gruver Act,” as well as the date on which the investigation was initiated; the date the investigation concluded; and the date the student organization was provided notice that a hazing violation occurred. The CHTR will be made available beginning July 1, 2025, and will be updated twice a year. Hazing-related incidents will also be included in Georgia Tech’s Annual Security Report (ASR) beginning in 2026.
Additional information regarding hazing can also be found on the Georgia Tech Policy Student Code of Conduct webpage.
Georgia Institute of Technology publishes annual hazing statistics in its Clery Act Annual Security Report. Those statistics include every report made to campus police, campus security authorities, or other institutional officials with significant responsibility for student and campus activities, as well as reports made to local law enforcement, when the incident occurred within the Institute’s Clery Geography (on-campus property, public property immediately adjacent to and accessible from campus, and non-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the Institute).

The Hazing Transparency Report lists only those incidents involving student or school organizations for which there has been an official finding of responsibility, adjudication, or related criminal conviction. Because the two reports measure different things, the numbers will not match. The Annual Security Report provides a broader statistical picture of reported incidents; this report identifies cases that resulted in formal findings so the public can see how the Institute holds organizations accountable.
