Bill Summary
This bill provides that a student is ineligible for State financial aid upon a conviction for hazing or aggravated hazing under P.L.1980, c.169 (C.2C:40-3 et seq.). Recent high-profile hazing incidents, such as the death of a fraternity pledge at Pennsylvania State University in February 2017, Louisiana State University in September 2017, and Florida State University in November 2017, demonstrate that hazing continues to be a problem with severe and fatal consequences. This bill establishes an additional deterrent to hazing by making a student ineligible for State financial aid upon a conviction of hazing or aggravated hazing.
AI Summary
This bill provides that a student is ineligible for State financial aid upon a conviction for hazing or aggravated hazing under P.L.1980, c.169 (C.2C:40-3 et seq.). This change is intended to serve as an additional deterrent to hazing, which has resulted in several high-profile incidents with severe and fatal consequences in recent years. The bill amends the existing law governing student financial aid eligibility in New Jersey to include this new provision disqualifying students convicted of hazing-related offenses.
