A bill to address hazing on college campuses is now on President Biden’s desk. The bill passed both houses unanimously. The bill requires college campuses to post all instances in which an organization has been found guilty of hazing and establishes a campus-wide research-based hazing education and prevention program. Senator Bill Cassidy co-authored the bill says fraternities and sororities across the country are in full support of this legislation.
Cut 5 (11) “…endorse this concept.”
The legislation was spurred in part by the September 2017 hazing death of LSU freshman Max Gruver.
