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 蜜桃APP. Any such incidents will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and pursued to the fullest extent of the 蜜桃APP Code of Student Conduct. This means that engaging in any such activity can result in probation or expulsion from 蜜桃APP, as well as possible felony charges by law enforcement. Please visit 蜜桃APP Division of Student Affairs for more information on Hazing Prevention.
Help stop hazing!
New state laws and 蜜桃APP 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.
