Elon University prepares to enact anti hazing law through training, transparency

Starting this year, all colleges participating in the Title IV program must collect statistics on hazing incidents that are reported to police for their annual security reports — including Elon University.  President Joe Biden signed the Stop Campus Hazing Act in late December, amending the Higher Education Act of 1965 to include requiring institutions participating in the Title IV program to track and include hazing in their annual security reports.  The annual security reports track all crime that has occurred on campus and within buildings owned by the university as part of the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990, which states that all institutions that participate in Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 are required to disclose campus crime statistics and security information. For the 2026 annual security report, all reported hazing incidents from 2025 will be included.

Elon University delays opening until noon due to unsafe roads

An email sent earlier this morning by Vice President for Student Life Jon Dooley informed Elon students that the university would be delaying its opening until noon.  Last night, around half an inch of snow fell onto Elon’s campus and due to the cold temperatures, the snow stuck to roads, making it unsafe for drivers. According to Dooley, facilities management crews have been working since last night to clear roads and pathways from snow.  Due to this delay, morning classes will start at noon and end at 2 p.m. and afternoon classes will start at 2:30 and end at 4:30 p.m.
