Louisiana proposes mandatory hazing training after student's death in 2025 hazing incident.

In January 2026, Louisiana’s Caleb Wilson Hazing Prevention Task Force concluded its work, recommending mandatory annual hazing prevention training for students and staff, stronger reporting systems, and annual legislative reporting with penalties for noncompliance. The proposals follow the 2025 death of Southern University student Caleb Wilson, who died after an off-campus fraternity hazing incident. The task force, formed after widespread outcry, also called for stricter enforcement and accountability across campuses. Wilson’s family continues to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit, while the state awaits final legislative action on proposed reforms.
