COLLIN'S LAW

On July 6, 2021, Governor Mike DeWine signed Senate Bill 126 into law, also known as Collin’s Law. Collin's Law is Ohio's Anti Hazing Act, enacting a number of changes intended to end hazing and any cultural issues that allow hazing to persist. The law is named for Collin Wiant, an Ohio college student who died as a victim of a hazing incident.

In compliance with this new law, Youngstown State University has developed a 20-minute online training course to educate you to Recognize and Prevent Hazing.

All YSU students are required to complete this course prior to joining a student organization (Greek Life, Club Sport and all other registered student organizations) or university program. University programs include Student Government, Student Media, Marching Pride, theater, music ensembles, athletics, and Honors College, among others. Students who are already members of these groups are also required to complete the training.

The deadline to complete this course is October 6, 2021.

WHAT IS HAZING?
Hazing means doing any act or coercing another, including the victim, to do any act of initiation into any student or other organization or any act to continue or reinstate membership in or affiliation with any student or other organization that causes or creates a substantial risk of causing mental or physical harm to any person, including coercing another to consume alcohol or a drug of abuse, as defined in section 3719.011 of the Revised Code.
