The Cadet Officer Candidate Course (COCC) program of the University’s Naval Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) unit has been temporarily suspended for the rest of the term while the Student Discipline Formation Office (SDFO) investigates accounts of hazing within the unit. If it will be proven that activities related to hazing occurred in the unit, the students involved will be subject to disciplinary proceedings for violation of the University’s student handbook and non-fraternity contract. In February 2014, two students from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines were dismissed after being found guilty of allegations of beating a freshman student, one of the ROTC program’s female COCCs.
