College Hazing

This is pretty severe. College students in New Jersey would lose state financial aid if they get convicted of hazing under a bill a Democratic lawmaker introduced last week.Assemblywoman Carol Murphy’s proposal would expand on anti-hazing protections lawmakers adopted in 2021 after the 2017 death of Timothy Piazza, a 19-year-old Readington resident and Penn State student whose fraternity hazing led to his fatal fall down a staircase.That law required all middle schools, high schools, and higher education institutions to adopt anti-hazing policies and penalties.
