Comments from Hazing Expert in Florida Newspaper

Comments from Mary Madden, a UMaine education faculty member who is considered a national expert on hazing at the college level, were included in an Orlando Sentinel story about a hazing incident involving Florida A&M University’s marching band. Madden told the newspaper that the school’s decision to suspend its summer band camp and temporarily bar students from joining clubs and organization is a bold move on the school’s part to get a hold of the situation. The Chronicle of Higher Education also posted Madden’s comments on its website.
