Florida Editorial Cites UMaine Leadership in Hazing Research
An editorial in Sunday’s Florida Times-Union newspaper on ways to discourage hazing at colleges and universities notes that the University of Maine has become a center for hazing prevention research. The editorial noted a groundbreaking, three-year national study on hazing by UMaine professor of higher education Elizabeth Allan and colleague Mary Madden, and included comments from Madden, who said effective prevention takes a commitment from the entire university. Allan and Madden were named members of a special task force at Florida A&M University after the recent death of a band member there.
