UT faculty who have strug-gled to continue their cancer research projects because of an ongoing moratorium on the state’s cancer research in-stitute may get their promised money in the next few weeks.

Wayne Roberts, the interim executive director for the Can-cer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, said there are talks about releasing the 118 cancer research grants totaling $110 million soon. Some say it is likely the grants will be released after Gov. Rick Perry signs a bill overhauling CPRIT, which is currently un-der criminal investigation.

It is unclear whether the criminal investigation on the institute will continue. Perry cut funding on Friday for the Travis County Public Integ-rity Unit, which investigates corruption in state agencies. Travis County could vote to fund the institute, but of-ficials have given no indica-tion of doing so.

Perry froze the research grants after it was discovered the institute had awarded some grants without scientific review. The bill automatically became law on June 16 be-cause Perry did not veto it.

UT researchers said not having their money has pre-vented them from hiring graduate student assistants and beginning certain as-pects of their projects. Al-though UT has provided some money to keep re-search projects afloat, it has not been enough to continue with work as scheduled.

The moratorium has af-fected UT researchers in Austin and across the state. At one point, $108 million

in grants for UT researchers were on hold, including $9 million for UT-Austin.

On top of the frozen CPRIT grants, UT-Austin could lose up to $18 million research dollars this year un-der the across-the-board fed-eral spending cuts known as the sequester.

This crunch on research dollars is raising red flags statewide and has many wor-ried that decreased funding will discourage students and researchers from coming to Texas.

Laura Suggs, an associate biomedical engineering pro-fessor at UT, was supposed to receive about $900,000 for a project aiming to pre-vent the spread of cancer using infrared light.

Without her CPRIT mon-ey, Suggs said the project has not been able to acquire the animals to conduct live

testing and take her research to the next level.

“We have been able to do only benchtop work and not any of the proposed animal studies,” Suggs said.

Suggs said UT has provid-ed temporary funds to help the project, but it has not been enough to continue the project as scheduled. Suggs said she is liable for the mon-ey if her CPRIT grant does not come through.

CPRIT reform bill SB 149, by state Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, aimed to reform the troubled cancer agency by clarifying rules on conflicts of interests, tighten-ing the peer review process to increase scientific rigor, improving methods to moni-tor grantee expenditures and increasing transparency in the grant review process, among other reforms.

Texans voted to create

CPRIT in 2007 and autho-rized it to award $3 billion for cancer research over the next 10 years.

Roberts said the insti-tute is committed to meet-ing the criteria in the bill and working hard to im-prove operations and end the moratorium.

“We are currently devel-oping rules and procedures necessary to implement SB 149,” Roberts said. “We will move carefully and de-liberately in implementing these changes.”

Greg Fenves, dean of the Cockrell School of Engineering, said the

biomedical engineering de-partment has not been able to recruit new researchers because of the moratorium.

Fenves said CPRIT fund-ing has been invaluable in promoting cancer research in Texas and attracting talented

4 OPINION

LAURA WRIGHT, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, @DTeditorial 4MONDAY, JUNE 17, 2013

VIEWPOINT

Perry should let drama die

VIEWPOINT

Last Friday, Gov. Rick Perry vetoed Senate Bill 15, a piece of legislation by Sen. Kel Seliger (R-Amarillo) that would have limited the power of governing boards of Texas public universities by, among other measures, mandating that a board of regents cannot fire an institution’s president without first receiving a recommendation to do so from a chancellor. In a statement issued on Friday night, Sen. Seliger predicted that the veto of SB 15 would ensure that “the conflicts, controversies, and lack of transparency will continue.”

Of course, it was in the name of transparency that Regent Wallace Hall filed a massive open records request with the University on June 7. The request, which was obtained by the Texas Tribune through an open records request of its own, called for President Powers to turn

over an array of documents, rang-ing from emails to Post-it notes.

If this request seemed over-reaching to Gov. Perry, his state-ment on the veto of SB 15 didn’t betray that sentiment. In that statement, Perry justified his veto by saying that “limiting oversight authority of a board of regents … is a step in the wrong direction.” But if Hall’s open records request is any indication, SB 15 would have done little to limit the power of regents to influence university business through less-than-official channels. But allowing the bill to pass into law would have allowed us all — regents, administrators, legislators, alumni and students — to take a step away from the mud-dled mess of the Regents v. Powers showdown and focus our energies on the bigger questions plaguing higher education, like the future of

MOOCs and fixed-rate tuition. Wallace Hall is entitled to his

Post-it notes, and Gov. Perry is en-titled to his vetoes, but the students of Texas are entitled to a change of conversation. In a letter obtained by the Texas Tribune from Regent Bobby Stilwell, who expressed concern over Hall’s most recent open records request, to board Chairman Gene Powell, Stilwell wrote, “There is no excuse or cover provided for personal agendas or vindictive actions.” Stilwell was referring to the ‘fiduciary duty’ clause of the regents’ job descrip-tion in particular, but we believe it could well be applied to the entire situation. The veto of SB 15 made it clear that Perry is more inter-ested in winning even the smallest battles than swallowing his pride and letting legislators and students mark down a minor victory.

GALLERY

Of Post-it notes and President PowersRecently, the Texas Tribune uncovered

an open records request made on June 6 by Regent Wallace Hall directed at the office of President William Powers Jr. The extensive request called for “any and all emails, attach-ments to emails, documents, notes, post-it notes” and “memoranda” that had been ex-changed between Powers and a list of indi-viduals that included all current and former

members of the state and national legisla-tures, along with Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and the trustees of the contreversial School of Law foundation, since January 1, 2009. In the spirit of helping Regent Hall as he begins to shuffle through the many documents he’s re-quested, the Daily Texan has taken a guess at some of the riveting post-it notes Regent Hall might uncover in his search.

Journalism junior Alyssa Morin said she is often treated like a paid employee at her un-paid internship. She has her work published and is some-times asked to work extra.

Many UT academic pro-grams require students to complete internships to re-ceive their degrees. Although getting real-world experi-ence is important for post-graduation job searches, some students encounter fi-nancial problems for taking unpaid internships. Various academic institutions na-tionwide believe internships should be paid.

UT students like Morin who work at unpaid intern-ships might find it harder to get one in the future. This month, New York District Judge William H. Pauley III ruled that unpaid internships breach federal labor laws.

Pauley ruled against Fox Searchlight Pictures and said it violated the law when it did not pay company interns who worked on the produc-tion of the Oscar-winning film “Black Swan.”

The judge said employers must either pay interns for their work or directly super-vise their education. Pauley said employers should re-ceive “no immediate advan-tage” from intern labor. He also said employers should follow a six-point memo by the Department of Labor to

ensure interns do not dis-place other employees.

The labor department states that the internship must be similar to training given in an educational en-vironment, the experience must be for the benefit of the intern and the intern must not displace regular employ-ees and work under close supervision of staff, among other provisions.

These criteria only apply to for-profit companies. Non-profits and government enti-ties may still award internships by stating that the intern’s work is an act of public service.

“Footman [the intern] did not receive any formal training or education dur-ing his internship,” Pau-ley said in his ruling. “It is not enough that Footman ‘learned what the function of a production office was through experience.’”

Although she has gained valuable experience through her internships, Morin said her financial situation has made it difficult for her to ac-cept otherwise “exceptional” internship opportunities.

“I feel like fortunate kids with parents who take care of them can go for an unpaid

internship,” Morin said. “I need to pay for groceries, gas and utilities. I’ve been award-ed with great opportunities, but at the end of the day, I can-not continue to work for free.”

On the academic side, a recent survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers — of which UT is a member — found that many universities felt intern-ships should be paid.

Wanda Cash, a journalism professor who coordinates internships for UT’s School of Journalism, said all in-ternships are vetted by the school’s career services office and various coordinators. Valuable internships include those that provide legitimate learning experiences, as well as offering mentorship and feedback, she said.

“If we find that an intern-ship doesn’t offer valuable, journalistic experience to our students, we remove that employer from our list of ap-proved placements,” Cash said.

Cash said she believes professional experience is es-sential for a successful under-graduate career, but believes all internships should be paid.

It is not clear if the ruling will survive on appeal.

faculty to UT. “It has funded truly innova-

tive advances in cancer diag-nosis and treatment,” Fenves said. “I hope the program continues with the need-

ed changes to assure its integrity.”

James Tunnell, an associ-ate biomedical engineering professor, has also been un-able to recruit new research-ers, which he says has de-layed his project to develop a method for a noninvasive

diagnosis of skin cancer. “If the funds come in, we

won’t have appropriate over-lap and training of the new researchers,” Tunnell said. “Knowledge will be lost, and it will take significantly more effort to get these projects up and running again.”

Nearly 8,000 miles away and a full day ahead of Austin, UT student Muba-riz Hayat’s Pakistani par-ents each work two jobs to support their son’s tu-ition. His parents face fi-nancial problems and are doing all they can to give him an education. He’s not alone.

Getting into UT as an in-ternational student is not easy — and for many stu-dents, the challenges do not end there. International stu-dents at UT can pay as much as $25,000 more per year in tuition than in-state resi-dents, and the cost continues to rise each year.

Some face other obstacles, such as adjusting to Ameri-can culture, having trouble making friends and finding food they are familiar with. Even finding a job after grad-uation can be difficult be-cause of language proficiency and citizenship status. Yet many international students and their families say the struggle is worth it.

“We have to increase and diversify our sources of in-come to pay for our child’s college, but the cost is worth the quality of education he is getting,” Mubariz’s mother Sarah Hayat said.

There were a total of 6,393 international students and visiting scholars enrolled at UT in the 2012-2013 aca-demic year, according to UT. Deana Williams, UT’s assistant director of admis-sions, said UT has a high profile overseas and attracts students from more than 125 countries, a majority from China, Korea, Mexico and India.

Despite UT’s impres-sive reputation, Williams said international students only make up about 3 per-cent of the freshman class because of restrictions in Texas laws. 90 percent of the class is from Texas and 7 percent is from other U.S. states.

“[This makes] internation-al admissions highly compet-itive,” Williams said.

In addition to facing com-petitive admissions, interna-tional students also pay large sums in tuition.

Brittany Ruetzel, an ad-ministrative assistant at UT’s International Office, said international students pay about $16,000 or $17,000 a semester in tuition, depend-ing on what college they are in.

“There’s really not a lot available in financial aid for international undergradu-ates and most scholarships are set up so they have stipu-lations that they’re reserved for citizens and/or perma-nent residents,” Ruetzel said.

Ruetzel said this results in few scholarship op-portunities available to international students.

In contrast, American stu-dents studying abroad might face a completely different situation. Andre Mikhail, an American student transfer-ring from Harvard to UT, described his experience as an international student at the American Univer-sity of Cairo, Egypt as a “financial relief.”

“My international tuition in Egypt was significantly less than my local tuition both at Harvard and UT,” Mikhail said.

For some internation-al students in America, the financial pressure and

adjustment to a new country becomes a dilemma. Hyun Kyung Kim, a public rela-tions sophomore and inter-national student from South Korea, said even though her parents can afford her full tuition, she is guilt-stricken about her parents being “burdened” with the cum-bersome tuition. To help her parents, she said she tried to look for on-campus jobs, which were not readily avail-able to her because of her international status.

Kim has also had prob-lems adjusting to Texas. She said she felt scared and lonely when she first came to UT last semester. Kim said she was intimidated to talk to American people because of her weak English language skills and did not know what common topics to talk about. Until recently, Kim said she had mostly Chinese and Ko-rean friends and almost no

local friends. Kim also had trouble ad-

justing to American food and called her experience “painful.” She said she was used to eating Korean and Chinese food back home and lost more than 15 pounds during her first semester at UT.

Homesickness becomes an issue for Kim when her peers leave Austin to visit their families on holidays and breaks. She said the airfare to return home is typically more than $1,900.

Kim said she is very doubtful about finding a job in America because she has seen her brother, also an in-ternational student, struggle in the American job market after his graduation. Despite his business degree from the University of Michigan, Kim said her brother was rejected from several jobs even before an interview because he is

not an American citizen or permanent resident. After spending a year job-hunting in America, Kim’s brother re-turned to Korea.

Kim is afraid she is go-ing to end up in the same situation.

Hayat, an economics and computer science senior, said he found the Austin environ-ment welcoming and became president of the UT Pakistani Student Association. How-ever, Hayat echoed Kim’s fears about job prospects after graduation.

“From my involvement and experience with the in-ternational students’ alumni network, I have seen a fairly recurrent trend that unless they have an engineering or IT-related degree, most international students end up returning to their home countries because they can-not find jobs in America,” Hayat said.

Not all international students have a hard time finding jobs. Technology companies are eager to hire international and immigrant graduates in math, science and technology and have pushed immigration reform over the last year.

A bill in the U.S. Sen-ate, SB 744, would make it easier for immigrant stu-dents who graduate with de-grees in science and math to obtain residency.

Despite the challenges, Williams said international applications for this year are up from last year.

Going to school in the U.S. is a challenge, he said. But the benefits of graduat-ing from an internationally renowned school increase job prospects at home and around the world.

“It makes the challenge all the more worth it,” Hayat said.

It seems like everyone knows him here.

Tarell Brown shakes dozens of hands and signs hundreds of autographs after running his sixth football and cheerlead-ing camp in Mesquite since beginning his NFL career. He’s joined by for-mer Longhorn teammates Michael Griffin, Michael Huff and Aaron Ross — four of the 13 Longhorn defensive backs that have been drafted since 2002.

“It’s a fraternity,” Huff said. “At Texas, us DBs pride ourselves in being a family and keeping the tra-dition going. Any time one of our DBs have something going, we’re going to be there.”

After spending an hour signing autographs for the throng of adoring young campers, Brown, Huff, Ross and Griffin proudly put on shirts that pro-claimed “Texas Football is the new DBU.”

Brown has done a fine job upholding that “DBU” leg-acy, but his path to success hasn’t always been a smooth one. He partially tore his ACL after his rookie season and spent his first four years in the NFL as a backup.

One of two Heisman Tro-phy winners for USC, Matt Leinart went into the fourth quarter of that season’s na-tional title game without a touchdown pass.

That changed with 6:42 left, when Dwayne Jarrett rose over Brown and Griffin

and plucked a Matt Leinart pass out of the air as Grif-fin and Brown collided and Jarrett’s outstretched arm crossed the goal line to give USC a 38-26 lead.

Griffin was fine, but Brown, who made a career-high 10 tackles in that game, suffered a broken right fore-arm. He was forced to watch Vince Young lead the Long-horns to a scintillating 41-38 victory on the television in the locker room.

“I was going for the ball and I just got hit. That’s all I really remember,” Brown said. “I remember breaking my forearm and my whole

right side going numb. I knew something was bro-ken. We did a great job fin-ishing the game off.”

Eight years later, Brown had a much different cham-pionship experience. In his second season as a starter, Brown helped the San Fran-cisco 49ers reach their first Super Bowl in nearly two decades.

Brown, who the 49ers drafted in the fifth round of the 2006 NFL Draft, was part of a secondary that boasted the fourth-best pass defense in the league. But Baltimore Ravens quar-terback Joe Flacco picked

it apart to the tune of three first-half touchdown passes. Brown forced a momentum-swinging Ray Rice fumble in the third quarter that led to a field goal but San Francisco fell to Baltimore, 34-31.

“There’s nothing like playing in the Super Bowl,” Brown said. “It’s all about winning. I remember the national championship a lot more because we won. The Super Bowl was great. We had a great run. We just couldn’t finish it at the end.”

Brown has come a long way since starring at North Mesquite High School, where he rushed for more

than 3,000 yards in his last two years and established himself as one of the top cornerback prospects in the country.

He returned to Mesquite last weekend for his camp, which he doesn’t charge for because he couldn’t afford to go to such camps as a child.

“I always thought it was something important for my community,” Brown said. “This was always big for me, always something I wanted to do, just to give something back to the kids.”

Maybe next year he’ll come to the camp wearing a Super Bowl ring.

WOMEN’S DIVING

After she dislocated her right elbow at the 2011 NCAA Championships, diver Maren Taylor opted to redshirt what would have been her third year, the 2011-12 season, to heal. Now that she has recovered, she is back on the board and headed to Spain to com-pete in the FINA World Championships.

Taylor earned a spot in the individual three-meter diving event at the Cham-pionships, which begin July 19 in Barcelona, Spain. She will be the only American woman to compete in the event and is the first Texas

diver to represent the U.S. in international competi-tion since Laura Wilkinson in 2008. Texas diving coach Matt Scoggin will join her as an assistant coach on the team.

To qualify, divers com-peted in the 2013 USA Div-ing World Trials and had to earn a minimum of 903 points, with a combined de-gree of difficulty of 14.8 in the finals. Taylor finished with a 905.50 points and a 14.8 difficulty level on her five dives.

Scoggin said the meet was successful and proved what Taylor could do.

“What Maren did to-day was exactly what we thought she’d be able to do

in the three-meter event at the NCAA Champi-onships,” Scoggin said. “Her three-meter finish at NCAAs was disappoint-ing, but she was able to shake it off. That’s a big key to her success. She moved on, prepared for this meet and knew she could do this today.”

During the season, Tay-lor brought her Big 12 title total to three and was se-lected as the Big 12 Diver of the Year. She earned All-American honors in the one-meter and platform events this year at the 2013 NCAA Championships, giving her All-American awards for each year she has competed. Thom, Hoagland make USA team

as Horns earn highest-ever ranking

By Brittany Lamas@brittany_lamas

Texas women’s softball standouts Taylor Thom and Taylor Hoagland have been selected to play for the 2013 USA Softball Women’s Na-tional Team. The decision was announced early Friday afternoon by USA Softball and the Amateur Softball Association of America.

Both are coming off a successful Texas season which saw the Longhorns make their third trip in pro-gram history to the Wom-en’s College World Series Semifinal and their high-est post-season ranking,

finishing No. 3 in both the USA Today/National Fast-pitch Coaches Association and ESPN.com/USA Soft-ball final polls. Texas has never ranked higher in the NFCA final poll and tied with the 2006 squad for its highest ranking in the last USA Softball poll.

Hoagland’s second USA roster selection after three invitations will finalize what was an outstanding career as a Longhorn, while Thom, a junior, will be playing with the national team for the first time, before return-ing for her senior season at Texas.

The USA women’s softball

team will begin play for the World Cup of Softball in Oklahoma City on July 11 until July 14, before compet-ing in events throughout the summer in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.

In 1978, director Richard Donner, along with Christo-pher Reeve, convinced their innocent and believing au-dience that a man could fly. After seeing “Man of Steel,” I can tell you this: Zach Sny-der and Henry Cavill did the improbable and made it nearly possible for our modern, skeptical world to believe that a “man” can fly.

I use the term “man” very lightly here — Superman is in no way a man. He is a god and this is why many people can’t connect with the char-acter. Unless you shoot a kryptonite bullet through his heart (which isn’t as easy as it sounds), there’s no way to defeat him. He’s invin-cible. He’s unwavering. He’s everything we Americans strive to be: honest, just and good.

Snyder made the dif-ficult decision to skip the 30-minute origin story of Clark Kent, instead cleverly intertwining flashbacks that

would thematically match the scenes preceding them. While it seems everyone and their grandmother knows Superman’s origins, Snyder still had to include some form of background for this newly redefined Superman.

Henry Cavill was bril-liantly cast as Clark Kent/Kal-El, bringing his own take on the title character. He’s stated in numerous in-terviews he chose to base his interpretation on the comic books and not the films that came before, which in the end made him a more believable “big, blue boy scout.” While it was doubted he could play a menacing villain, Michael Shannon delivered leaps and bounds above my expectations. His cold and relentless Zod was a perfect foil for Cavill’s man of steel.

This isn’t to say that the film was without its issues. While Cavill, Shannon and Russell Crowe breathed life into their otherworldly roles, Amy Adams seemed forced as Lois Lane. Because

Lois has been very similarly characterized for the past several decades, one comes to expect an actress to fit a clearly defined “Lois” mold. Adams seemed to “phone in” many of her lines, one exam-ple being her confrontation with Lawrence Fishburne’s Perry White. And some of the over-the-top CGI was a little undercooked and stuck out like a sore thumb in some scenes.

Superman may not be the hero we deserve, but he’s without a doubt the one we need right now.

All-star cast’s latest movie proves apocalyptic success

Snyder gives original superhero new life in comic-based remake

With their previous works, “Superbad” and “Pineapple Express,” Seth Rogen and writing partner Evan Gold-berg perfected the formula of the bromantic comedy. The pair’s directorial debut, “This Is The End,” covers similar ground to diminishing re-turns, offsetting the familiar-ity with a hilarious survival narrative and a surprisingly impressive apocalyptic scale.

“This Is The End” deviates from your standard apocalypse film by letting its stars play ex-aggerated versions of them-selves, tweaking their person-alities for maximum comedic effect. Rogen and Jay Baruchel play old friends reuniting for a weekend, their long-standing relationship tested by Rogen’s success and Baruchel’s imma-turity. Tensions mount when Rogen drags Baruchel to a party at James Franco’s house, and the film delivers a revolv-ing door of cameos, including Michael Cera, playing against type as a brash cocaine vacu-um in Rogen’s most demented bit of casting.

Just as Baruchel confronts Rogen, the apocalypse hap-pens, and the pair find them-selves trapped at Franco’s house with a small ensemble of game comedic actors. Of the few survivors, Craig Rob-inson portrays himself as a terrified teddy bear with no idea how to react to impend-ing doom, while Jonah Hill plays against type as the most aggressively friendly guy in the room. Danny McBride is easily the MPV, cranking his caustic screen persona all the

way up and taking his brand of bullheadedness to revolt-ing extremes.

While Rogen and Gold-berg’s previous films have smartly balanced the pathos of male camaraderie with spurts of juvenile comedy, “This Is The End” has trouble keeping Baruchel and Ro-gen’s friendship front and center. Baruchel’s character is consistently unpleasant to everyone around him, and while learning to stop being self-righteous is his charac-ter’s arc, it also makes him hard to root for. It’s easy for the rest of the cast’s rapid-fire joke delivery to overshadow the film’s emotional center.

“This Is The End” finishes strong, and the final sequence of the film steps up the scale in a huge way. While the film was made on a relatively low budget, you can tell where the money went once Rogen and Goldberg unleash stun-ningly impressive and massive monsters on our heroes. Even though the film’s final stretch indulges in the directors’ juve-nile mind-set a bit too often —

especially when dealing with massive demonic genitalia — this is the rare comedy where things get funnier as they get more horrific, and “This Is The End” even manages to salvage its struggling central friend-ship story line in a few genu-inely sweet moments.

“This Is The End” is more or less “The Avengers” of comedy, gathering together a few of the sharpest young actors working in the genre for a hyper-meta ensemble piece that avoids be-ing self-congratulatory. Even though the film has trouble ne-gotiating where its occasional-ly corny jokes and troublesome narrative meet up, “This Is The End” is a top-notch assembly of hilarious jokes, apocalyptic chaos and hysterical perfor-mances, making it a strong comedic counterpoint to the spectacle of summer cinema.

OFFICE OF THE SENIOR ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT FOR STUDENT AFFAIRS AND DEAN OF STUDENTS

100 West Dean Keeton Street A5800 • Austin, Texas 78712-1100 • 512-471-5017 • Fx 512-471-7833 • deanofstudents.utexas.edu • [email protected]

Date: June 17, 2013To: All Students at The University of Texas at AustinFrom: Dr. Soncia Reagins-Lilly, Senior Associate Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of StudentsSubject: Texas Hazing Statute Summary and The University of Texas at Austin’s Hazing Regulations

The 70th Texas Legislature enacted a law concerning hazing. Under the law, individuals or organizations engag-ing in hazing could be subject to fines and charged with a criminal offense.

According to the law, a person can commit a hazing offense not only by engaging in a hazing activity, but also by soliciting, directing, encouraging, aiding or attempting to aid another in hazing; by intentionally, knowingly or recklessly allowing hazing to occur; or by failing to report, in writing to the Dean of Students or another appropri-ate official of the institution, first-hand knowledge that a hazing incident is planned or has occurred. The fact that a person consented to or acquiesced in a hazing activity is not a defense to prosecution for hazing under this law.

In an effort to encourage reporting of hazing incidents, the law grants immunity from civil or criminal liability to any person who reports a specific hazing event in good faith and without malice to the Dean of Students or other appropriate official of the institution and immunizes that person from participation in any judicial proceeding resulting from liability that might otherwise be incurred or imposed as a result of the report. Additionally, a doctor or other medical practitioner who treats a student who may have been subjected to hazing may make a good faith report of the suspected hazing activities to police or other law enforcement officials and is immune from civil or other liability that might otherwise be imposed or incurred as a result of the report. The penalty for failure to report is a fine of up to $1,000, up to 180 days in jail, or both. Penalties for other hazing offenses vary according to the se-verity of the injury which results and include fines from $500 to $10,000 and/or confinement for up to two years.

HAzing DefineDThe law defines hazing as any intentional, knowing or reckless act, occurring on or off the campus of an educational institution, by one person alone or acting with others, directed against a student, that endan-gers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of pledging, being initiated into, affiliating with, holding office in or maintaining membership in any organization whose members are or include students at an educational institution. Hazing includes but is not limited to:A. any type of physical brutality, such as whipping, beating, striking, branding, electric shocking, placing of a

harmful substance on the body or similar activity;B. any type of physical activity, such as sleep deprivation, exposure to the elements, confinement in a small

space, calisthenics, or other activity that subjects the student to an unreasonable risk of harm or that adversely affects the mental or physical health or safety of the student;

C. any activity involving consumption of food, liquid, alcoholic beverage, liquor, drug or other substance which subjects the student to an unreasonable risk of harm or which adversely affects the mental or physical health of the student;

D. any activity that intimidates or threatens the student with ostracism, that subjects the student to extreme mental stress, shame or humiliation, that adversely affects the mental health or dignity of the student or discourages the student from entering or remaining registered in an educational institution, or that may reasonably be expected to cause a student to leave the organization or the institution rather than submit to acts described in this subsection;

E. any activity that induces, causes or requires the student to perform a duty or task which involves a violation of the Penal Code.

UniveRSiTy DiSciplinARy RUleSThis law does not affect or in any way limit the right of the university to enforce its own rules against hazing under Chapter 14 of the Institutional Rules on Student Services and Activities.

DAngeRoUS oR DegRADing AcTiviTieSActivities which under certain conditions constitute acts which are dangerous, harmful or degrading, in viola-tion of Chapter 14 and subsections 6-303(b)(3) and 11-404(a)(8) of the Institutional Rules on Student Services and Activities include but are not limited to:
