Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution designates the week of September 21 through September 25, 2026, as National Hazing Awareness Week to promote education and prevention of hazing on college campuses. The measure acknowledges that hazing is a serious problem affecting college students, noting that 55 percent of students involved in clubs, athletic teams, and organizations have experienced hazing, and that dozens of students have died from hazing-related incidents over the past two decades. The resolution builds on the Stop Campus Hazing Act signed into law in December 2024, which requires colleges to report hazing incidents, provide prevention education, and maintain transparency through a Campus Hazing Transparency Report. The House resolution calls for broad hazing prevention efforts involving students, staff, administrators, faculty, and alumni, while recognizing that awareness efforts must extend beyond a single week. There is no funding associated with this resolution, as it is a symbolic measure expressing congressional support for raising awareness about hazing prevention.
