Practice question
A building owner has actual knowledge that hazing is occurring on his property. Without peril to himself or his family, he can promptly report it but deliberately does nothing to prevent it and makes no report. Which statement best applies current section 14?
- Property ownership alone is always sufficient, even without knowledge
- The owner is necessarily immune because he is not a fraternity member
- Only school officials can incur liability for failing to act
- The actual-knowledge and failure-to-act conditions can make him liable as a principal under the statutory rule
- His silence becomes lawful if the victim signed a hazing waiver
