The ASUC _Activity Group Handbook_ has slightly different wording. In fact,
it might be technically incompatible with the SAS guide.
The ASUC guide comes closer to suggesting that these provisions have to be
word-for-word; it says "the following statements are required".
However, if they're serious about that meaning "literally", then
(1) Their requirements conflict with the SAS requirements;
(2) No actual organizations are in compliance;
(3) They ask us to make a meaningless statement, because there is apparently
no longer any such thing as the California Administrative Code. The
prohibition of hazing is found in the California Education Code.
So I think probably the ASUC doesn't have much standing to insist upon
literal statements either.
