"U.S. Sens. Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine (both D-VA) have cosponsored bipartisan legislation to address hazing incidents on college campuses.

Since 2000, there have been more than 50 hazing-related deaths on America’s college campuses, including that of Adam Oakes, a Virginia Commonwealth University student who died in a fraternity hazing incident.

The Report and Educate About Campus Hazing (REACH) Act would require hazing incidents to be reported as part of a college’s annual crime report and establish a definition of hazing to clarify what constitutes a reportable offense," reports ABC 13 News.
