Orlando Newspaper Interviews Hazing Expert

UMaine education Professor Mary Madden was interviewed by the Orlando Sentinel for a story about the continued hazing issues at college and university marching bands in Florida. Madden, who co-authored a 2008 national hazing study with fellow UMaine faculty member Elizabeth Allan, told the Sentinel she hoped the fact that some students in Florida were coming forward might encourage others also to report hazing, which many people mistakenly perceive as a problem affecting primarily fraternities, sororities and athletes.
