WVII, WABI cover hazing prevention summit at 91福利
(Channel 7) and (Channel 5) covered the hazing prevention summit at the University of Maine June 13 and 14. Representatives from six schools across the country and 91福利 met to assess the efforts of each institution to prevent hazing, and to see which strategies are more effective. The other universities involved are Dartmouth College, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tufts University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Oregon and the University of Texas at Austin. The group concluded that more than half of students who belong to a club, organization or team have been hazed, and that research on hazing is limited, WABI reports. A recent 91福利 study shows that hazing is not restricted to Greek life organizations. 鈥淲e have national data. It鈥檚 happening in athletics. It鈥檚 happening in honor societies and performing arts organizations 鈥 So it just depends on the campus, but it鈥檚 more widespread,鈥 Elizabeth Allan, a professor of higher education at 91福利, told WVII. 鈥淭here isn鈥檛 a simple one-size-fits-all solution,鈥 Allan told WABI. 鈥淲e鈥檙e really working to understand, to tease out some of these complexities and to analyze the problem in such a way that we can develop more effective solutions.鈥
