  1. Bullying Diversity and Climate at UWM: A Campus Conversation March 11, 2011 Brian Altman Dissertator, Urban Education Doctoral Program

  2. Bullying targeting college students: “As a student in college you are being bullied when someone who is more powerful than you deliberately and repeatedly tries to hurt you by: (1) attacking you verbally, using harmful words or names; (2) attacking you physically; (3) making obscene gestures towards you; or (4) intentionally isolating you or excluding you from a social group.” (Chappell et al., 2004, p. 57)

  3. Workplace bullying definition – employees targeted: “Bullying is defined as repeated and persistent negative acts towards one or more individual(s), which involve a perceived power imbalance and create a hostile work environment(cf. Einarsen, 1996; Hoel & Cooper, 2000; Zapf et al., 1996). Bullying is thus a form of interpersonalaggression or hostile, anti-social behaviour in the workplace.” (Salin, 2003, pp. 1214-1215, italics in original)

  4. Bullying in Higher Education • Students • Received more attention after Tyler Clementi tragedy • Overall is under-researched (Coleyshaw, 2010) • Employees (called workplace bullying) • Student to employee (McKay, Arnold, Fratzl, & Thomas, 2008) • Instructor to student (Chappell et al., 2004)

  5. Bullying and College Climate • In a study of faculty, instructors, and librarians in Canada: stress, negative emotions, exhaustion, turnover (McKay et al. 2008) • Student perceptions of faculty incivility associated with student dissatisfaction with a nursing program and some students indicated feelings of anxiety or depression as a result (Marchiondo, Marchiondo, & Lasiter, 2010)

  6. National Models • This is a new area • We don’t really know much about what is effective yet • Example of a campus that is ahead of the curve – Westfield State University in Massachusetts: • policy • workshops (students and employees) • consequences • reporting processes
