Hazing at Cornell

Stop Campus Hazing Law

The Stop Campus Hazing Act was signed into law in December 2024. The federal law amended the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1092(f), a subsection of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (the Clery Act), and renamed the Clery Act officially as the Jeanne Clery Campus Safety Act. This bipartisan and bicameral law requires institutions of higher education to: 

  • Compile and annually disclose statistics on hazing incidents reported to Campus Security Authorities or local police in the Annual Security Report.  

  • Publish information related to hazing incidents in a Campus Hazing Transparency Report at least twice annually 

  • Publish specific information related to anti-hazing policies and hazing prevention programs.
