Stop Campus Hazing Act Passes in U.S. Congress

The Stop Campus Hazing Act (H.R. 5646/S.2901) passed yesterday (Dec. 11, 2024) in the Senate and moves forward to President Joe Biden’s desk for signing into law. The Act passed the House of Representatives in September.

The Stop Campus Hazing Act’s central feature is a requirement for schools to maintain a public web page documenting the student organizations on their respective campuses that have been disciplined in the last few years for actions that had the potential to harm other students. This database would allow parents and students to make informed decisions about what student organizations are safe to join, and student groups that haze new members would either reform themselves or find it challenging to recruit new members in the future.
