HBCUs Putting Special Emphasis on National Hazing Prevention Week - Higher Education: With the issue of hazing transformed in the past year into a major topic of discussion on college campuses from an activity that typically draws restrained concerns at critical moments, more historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU’s) are planning special events on the issue built around National Hazing Prevention Week.
At Florida A & M University (FAMU), where the hazing-related death of a university band drum major last fall sparked heightened attention nationally on campus hazing activities, the university plans to stage a Town Hall meeting on the topic Thursday. The meeting will include a panel of nationally known researchers and FAMU student and faculty leaders in a discussion about what campuses can do to rid themselves of hazing cultures.
