Molluzzo, John C.; Lawler, James; Manneh, Jerry
Information Systems Education Journal, v11 n3 p15-34 Jun 2013
Cyberbullying is a concern for any college or university. Digital harassment incidents are featured daily in the news. The authors of this study examine the perceptions of faculty on cyberbullying at a major metropolitan university. From the findings of a survey distributed to faculty in all schools of the university, the authors learn of high levels of perceptions on incidents as an issue but low levels of perceptions on infrastructural and instructional methods of preemption and resolution at the university. This study will be beneficial to faculty in colleges and universities, as cyberbullying is considered an issue more frequent in high schools.
