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.
