Confronting Campus Bullies: How Bullying Shows up in the Halls of Academe, and What We Can Do about It
Myers, Virginia
Education Digest: Essential Readings Condensed for Quick Review, v77 n9 p45-48 May 2012
Everyone knows the playground bully: that big, cartoonish oaf towering over a scrawny school mate before he delivers a gut punch and knocks the lunch money from his victim's pockets. What ever happened to this menace? According to some, he's moved down the hall--the hall of academe. Once thought to be bastions of collegiality and high-mindedness, college campuses turn out to be no more immune to bullying than an average workplace or grade school. It may not be called "bullying" here--more likely, the term will be "incivility"--but the aggressive, manipulative, intimidating behavior, when it escalates, can create the same sort of misery. This article shares some tools to help institutions, individuals, and unions address bullying in higher education.
