Historic Anti-Hazing Legislation Enacted

President Joe Biden has enacted the first federal anti-hazing law, culminating a lengthy advocacy effort by victims' families demanding accountability from colleges. The Stop Campus Hazing Act mandates universities to gather and report hazing statistics, addressing a significant blind spot in existing federal regulations that did not require such disclosures. This law comes after years of fatalities and violent incidents linked to hazing, particularly in fraternities and sororities. Although many states have their own anti-hazing laws, the new federal requirements aim to standardize and increase transparency across college campuses nationwide.
