Hazing and the laws surrounding it have drawn more attention in light of recent events including the death of a fraternity pledge at Pennsylvania State University and lawsuits against the University of Dayton and the University of Toledo, the article states. Allan, who has been the lead investigator in studies on hazing and has testified in Congress on the issue, told the Dayton Daily News that hazing is widespread and that harmful incidents often go beyond coverage of the law. Ohio\u2019s state law classifies hazing as an \u201cinitiation\u201d activity, according to the Dayton Daily News. \u201cThe definition of hazing is not just to gain membership into a group, but it\u2019s also to maintain one\u2019s membership. The state laws are very uneven across the board,\u201d said Allan. \u201cWhen you have a law or policy, it\u2019s important, but it\u2019s not enough. There\u2019s just a lot of work to be done to really sharpen the awareness of the general public, of the parents whose kids are going to school, of educators.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dayton Daily News interviewed Elizabeth Allan, a professor of higher education at the University of Maine, for an article on
