Pledge Stone Foltz’s death spurs changes in hazing rules

TOLEDO (AP) — The alcohol poisoning death of a fraternity pledge from Delaware at Bowling Green State University a year ago has brought on new anti-hazing policies.

The school has hired a hazing prevention coordinator and made it easier for students to alert the school about hazing. The school says that has resulted in more hazing reports.

Ohio also has a new state law that created tougher criminal penalties for hazing.

Bowling Green spent four months developing a plan to address anti-hazing efforts following the death of Stone Foltz last March.

He was found unconscious by a roommate after an alleged hazing ritual.
