Hazing Prevention
Max Gruver Act:
In 2018, the Louisiana Legislature passed the instituting state-wide hazing definitions and penalties and Hazing Education Prevention. Under the Max Gruver Act, hazing is now considered a felony!
How hazing is defined:
Hazing means an act by an individual or a group that, as an explicit or implicit condition for initiation to, admission into, affilliation with, or continued membership in a group or organization, regardless of consent.
Consequences:
Hazing of any kind is illegal and strictly prohibited at 蘑菇tv. Any such incidents will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and pursued to the fullest extent of the 蘑菇tv Code of Student Conduct. This means that engaging in any such activity can result in probation or expulsion from 蘑菇tv, as well as possible felony charges by law enforcement. Please visit 蘑菇tv Division of Student Affairs for more information on Hazing Prevention.
Help stop hazing!
New state laws and 蘑菇tv policies increase the penalties for hazing, which is defined as any behavior designed to harm, punish, or humiliate others. No one can "consent" to being hazed.
蘑菇tv Resources:
