Washington Post - Higher education institutions that are part of federal student aid programs must begin reporting hazing incidents publicly, thanks to a new bill signed by President Joe Biden. Campuses have been required to release annual reports that document any crimes, but hazing typically is excluded from those reports. The Stop Campus Hazing Act, which passed in the U.S. Senate earlier this month, mandates institutions publicly share hazing statistics, including the name of the organization involved and details of the behavior that incited a hazing violation. It also provides an explicit definition of the term and requires institutions to implement education and prevention programs on campus.Some of its mandates could take effect in the next six months, according to the bill, which Biden signed into law on Tuesday.
