Hazing Report Includes Allan Comments

Comments from Elizabeth Allan, a UMaine education professor and nationally recognized expert in the issue of hazing, were included in an Inside Higher Ed report online. Allan, who with fellow UMaine faculty member Mary Madden co-authored a landmark 2008 hazing study, was interviewed about recent hazing incidents among marching band members at Florida A&M. Allan said there is a great deal of ignorance about the different settings in which hazing can occur, and the recent incidents show hazing happens in all types of settings, not just fraternities and sororities.
