The Stop Campus Hazing Act, which has now been passed by both the House and Senate, mandates higher education institutions to disclose their hazing prevention policies and any violations online. This legislation aims to hold colleges accountable and create safer environments for students. Co-sponsored by Senator Amy Klobuchar, the bill has received widespread bipartisan support and acknowledges the reality of hazing as a dangerous issue within higher education.
Amy Klobuchar emphasized the expectation parents have for their children in college, stating, 'When parents send their kids away to college, they expect they will get a good education and make new friends. They don't expect them to be harassed and hazed.' This statement underlines the urgent need for legislative action to address the dangers of hazing on campuses.
Julie and Gary DeVercelly, advocates for the legislation following the tragic death of their son during a hazing incident, said, 'We set out to make sure what happened to our son never happened again.' They believe the bill represents a pivotal step in preventing hazing tragedies and saving lives.
