President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. signed the Stop Campus Hazing Act (the “Act”) into law on December 23, 2024, to address concerns about injuries and deaths on college campuses related to hazing activities. The Act, which amends the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, imposes several requirements on colleges and universities, many of which already became, or will soon become effective. Notably, the Act requires institutions to compile and disclose an additional class of broadly-defined hazing statistics in a distinct new report, to disclose additional information in Annual Security Reports, and to publish information related to anti-hazing policies and prevention programs.
Please join us for a 30-minute audio-only briefing during which NACUA member-experts, Guilherme Costa and Janet Judge, will provide an overview of the Act and offer practical insights for counsel and compliance colleagues who focus on areas most at risk for potential hazing activity on campus.
