Federal Antihazing Law Takes Shape on Campuses Starting July 1, colleges and universities across the country will start collecting hazing data to produce a mandated Campus Hazing Transparency Report by the end of the year.

“The federal government is saying that, for the first time, every institution of higher education has to prohibit hazing and do so consistently,” S. Daniel Carter, a campus safety consultant said. “That is a major turning point.” www.insidehighered.com/news/student...

The Clery Act Stands Firm on Statutory Foundations Amid Shifting... Unlike some U.S. Department of Education (ED) requirements—most notably Title IX—the Clery Act’s mandates are rooted almost entirely in statute rather than regulation. This distinction is significant ...

Clery Act remains a campus safety must. Even with the President’s plan to end the U.S. Department of Education, it’s a law only Congress can change—unlikely for now. #CampusSafety safecampuses.biz/the-clery-ac...

I enjoyed Section 31 on Paramount+. Was it the Star Trek I grew up with, no, but neither was DS9. It’s an OK spy, action thriller. It does have but doesn’t need connections to existing canon, some pretty deep cuts. I’d also watch a sequel. Lots of unrealized potential.
