Research Blog #8
my main case is that greek life organizations are wrongfully given the axe when sports teams commit the same if not worse violations. 2 great examples i will use are the eric legrand case and the penn state sandusky case. The Eric LeGrand case highlights the contradiction that the school promotes physical safety. They enforce harsh punishments on greek organizations for injury yet glamorize ones such as Eric Legrands. The second case is the Sandusky sexual abuse case. This highlights how sports teams can break the law yet only those responsible for it are punished yet in greek life a whole fraternity will go down for the actions of a few rotten ones.

Frame
The frame for my paper has changed drastically throughout peer review and research. What once began as a compare and contrast has become something else. Throughout my research privatization has become an apparent repetitive connotation when analyzing the treatment of sports teams and greek life on college campuses. I am now analyzing the reasons why this has happened. My paper is about the law statutes that apply in these cases, examples of them from research and news, and how hazing is something that is mistakenly associated with greek life even though it happens just as often in other organizations.

Literature Review #1
Literature Review #1
2)Somers, Nicole. "College and University Liability for the Dangerous Yet Time Honored Tradition of Hazing in Fraternities and Student Athletics." Journal of College and University Law (n.d.): 653-70. HeinOnline. Web. 16 Apr. 2016.
3) This journal is very literal in it's approach and concerns all steps of the judicial process for both the school and the law. It contains a lot of legal jargon similar to a reading I once had in a business law class. It outlines specific case studies that have become precedent for future cases to follow. The cases define the fine lines of liability and the policies that pertain to it.
4) Nicole Summers: Massachusettes Supreme Judicial Court. Being involved in the supreme court's office even at a state level requires vast knowledge and dedication to both the law and the study of it. This authot absolutley is a reliable source, she also attended Harvard Law School.
5) 2 terms- I'd like to define two statutes because they are used as a major part of the paper
1) The
duty of a service provider to render the necessary service to protect another
2)The
University’s duty as a landowner to protect the plaintiff as an invitee against
and foreseeable dangerous conditions on University property”
6) "The jury was perplexed by an undefined legal term and unable to reach a verdict" (Definition of hazing) (658)
"Subpoenas and depositions have been replacing beer cans and pledge paddles on as icons on fraternity row" (661)
""Hazing in college sports has continued and appears to be on the rise" (671)
7) This material helps me explore my research question because of both the history of hazing and more importantly defining what hazing is and the consequences for all parties involved in both greek life and athletic associations.
