AP Story Updates Hazing Research

An Associated Press story details a new stage in the extensive hazing research project being conducted by Elizabeth Allan and Mary Madden of the UMaine education faculty. Following their 2008 survey that provided the most extensive information ever collected on the subject as it relates to U.S. colleges and universities, Allan and Madden have launched a “National Agenda for Hazing Prevention in Education.” This next step, Madden says in the story, involves “a concerted effort to move that research into action.”
