Universities face legal duty to prevent hazing, students gain recourse.
Hazing is a harmful practice in universities that has caused serious harm in the US, India, and Australia. While the US has laws against hazing, India and Australia are considering criminalizing it. In 1991, it was ruled that universities have a duty to prevent hazing. This duty should also apply in India and Australia because universities are responsible for student safety and can control many aspects of student life. Students should be able to hold universities accountable for failing to stop hazing.
