Hazing would be barred at schools and universities, and student participants and organizations subject to fines.
Senate Bill 444 passed the Oregon House without change on a 49-0 vote Wednesday.
Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, introduced the bill after a
hazing incident at Western Oregon University, where he works.State university rules ban hazing, but state law exempts athletic teams from the hazing ban WTF!?!?!. The bill would change the law, extend the ban to public schools and update definitions. Hazing covers physical brutality, activity adversely affecting physical health or safety, compelled consumption and inducement of illegal activity.
A student organization would be subject to a maximum fine of $720; a participant, $360.
Fun fact: college sports teams make a lot of money for host institutions. Greeks; not so much.
