Expressing support for the designation of the week of September 23 through September 27, 2024, as "National Hazing Awareness Week".
This resolution symbolically supports designating September 23-27, 2024, as "National Hazing Awareness Week." It does not create new laws but expresses the House’s endorsement of raising awareness about hazing in college settings. The resolution cites statistics showing 55% of college students experience hazing and references numerous fatalities linked to hazing incidents. It encourages ongoing hazing prevention efforts beyond the designated week and urges the public to observe the week through awareness and education. The resolution directly affects campus communities and student safety initiatives, though it has no binding legal effect.
