Mizzou student Danny Santulli was left blind and unable to walk after a hazing ritual in 2021. His family is now cheering the passage of a new anti-hazing law.
"If [students] think that they're just going to get a slap on the wrist if they haze somebody, then they're not going to change their behavior." Audrey Conklin is a digital reporter for Fox News Digital and FOX Business. Email tips to audrey.conklin@fox.com or on Twitter at @audpants.
"It's a good new law, and it's going to help," Santulli family attorney David Bianchi told Fox News Digital. "What it does is: It requires universities to report, on an annual basis, hazing statistics on campus. It also requires that those statistics be readily available on the websites of the universities. It also requires the universities to implement anti-hazing programs on campus, which is always a good thing."
Bianchi noted that it is "the first time that the federal government has weighed in in the hazing space."
