Compliance Isn’t Prevention: What the Stop Campus Hazing Act Has (and Hasn’t) Changed

Hazing didn’t stop when the law passed. It remains a persistent and deeply harmful issue on college campuses.

One year after the Stop Campus Hazing Act took effect, colleges and universities are under increased pressure to report, disclose, and respond to hazing. Yet implementation has been uneven, prevention efforts vary widely, and many campuses are still struggling to move beyond compliance toward meaningful cultural change.

Moderated by RealResponse, this panel will confront what the first year of the Act has actually revealed: where institutions are making progress, where gaps persist, and why hazing remains chronically underreported despite new federal requirements. Panelists will discuss how campuses are navigating transparency mandates, building trust in reporting systems, and responding when concerns surface - before serious harm occurs.

The conversation will highlight emerging best practices that have gained traction since the Act’s passage, including stronger anonymous reporting channels, clearer institutional messaging, and earlier, more proactive intervention strategies. Attendees will leave with a sharper understanding of what prevention actually requires, what leadership looks like in this moment, and why the next year must be about more than checking boxes.
