U.S. Department of Education Announces Changes to Campus Security Requirements Under Stop Campus Hazing Act

The U.S. Department of Education has issued guidance to institutions of higher education, outlining their responsibilities under the Stop Campus Hazing Act and detailing changes to campus security procedures and reporting. Institutions were required to include 2025 hazing statistics in their 2026 Annual Security Reports (ASRs) and will begin collecting these statistics in the 2027 Campus Safety and Security Survey. The Department also plans to propose regulations to align with these new requirements.
