Norm Pollard, Ed.D Addressing Bullying on the College Campus October 24, 2012 ACUI

Learning Objectives Creating a framework for identifying bullying on college campuses. Develop appropriate educational and conduct approaches to address bullying and related behaviors. Provide appropriate resources to support students who may experience bullying and other acts of micro-aggression.

Bullying on Campus Definitions Connection between bullying and bias Connection to campus Impact of bullying Ideas to think about

What is it? Repeated actions or threats of action directed toward a person by one or more people who have (or are perceived to have) more power or status than their target in order to cause fear, distress or harm. Bullying can be physical, verbal, psychological or any combination of these three.

What is CYBERBULLYING? Intentional and repetitive mistreatment perpetrated through the use of technology.

How is CYBERBULLYING different? Anyone can “bully” Causes as much or more distress: oAnonymity intensifies cruelty oInvisibility lessens empathy oVictimization is 24/7 oImpact is instant, far-reaching

Bullying and Bias Bullying and cyberbullying intersect with bias and hate-motivated behaviors Motivation for bullying is often bias or is identity-based Imbalance of power exists Bullying unchecked can contribute to an environment where bias is acceptable Precursor to more destructive, hateful behavior

Bullying on campus? Campus climate surveys reflect harassment, intimidation or other bullying-related behaviors Workplace bullying: NIOSH found 1/4 of companies reported bullying in the past year

Cyberbullying University of New Hampshire study-10-15% of students reported receiving repeated insulting and harassing electronic messages Working to Halt Online Abuse-reports an average of 100 requests a week from people 18+ Sites which promote cyberbullying behavior among college students Reports of faculty and staff being cyberbullied are rising If there is bullying, there are bystanders

Impact on target Depression Isolation and loneliness Anxiety Poor performance in school Health-issues Low self-esteem Marginalization Thoughts of suicide

Misdirection and Reminders Misdirection Equating bullying with normal conflict Responding with conflict resolution/peer mediation Putting burden on target Simple, short-term solutions

Misdirection and Reminders Reminders Promote ally behavior and culture of responsibility Equip staff with ability to recognize bullying and support targets Campus codes of conduct include bully and cyberbullying

Emerging campus trends and best practices in response to bullying Prevalence on campuses According to Mark Chapell’s 2004 article, Bullying in College by Students and Teachers, in the journal Adolescence – 33.4% of the 1,025 undergraduate students witnessed a student bully another student in college once or twice, 24.7% reported seeing bullying occasionally and 2.8% reported seeing bullying very frequently

Emerging campus trends and best practices in response to bullying Campus student conduct officers are reporting an increase of bullying incidents College students were more likely to bully if they had been bullied in Elementary or High School Gender is not a difference in college bullying –Males tend to be more physical –Females tend to be social

Bullying Response Plan Response should be multifaceted –Prevention –Policy –Reporting –Education and Programming –Intervention –Support –Enforcement

Prevention Efforts must be campus wide –both systems oriented and individual oriented –and reflect campus values Design programs based on a thorough needs assessment using objective data. Establish a set of measurable goals and objectives linked to identified needs.

Prevention Implement prevention activities that research or evaluation have shown to be effective in preventing bullying and violent behavior. Use evaluation results to refine, improve, and strengthen the program and refine goals and objectives as appropriate.

Policy Definition of bullying for the code of conduct can be broad –and sanctions can be specific for groups and/or individuals Often times a campus code of conduct will not use the term “bullying”, but define behavior as harassment or intimidation Make sure policy includes cyber-bullying –the modern means of communication provides a readily available venue for students to bully

Policy Example: Bullying and cyberbullying are repeated and/or severe aggressive behaviors that intimidate or intentionally harm or control another person physically or emotionally, and are not protected by freedom of expression – NCHERM Model Code of Conduct

Reporting Multiple means of communication –Anonymous as an option –Web based –“hot line” to campus police –Identified personnel to receive reports –Promote by-stander reporting

Response Give students the opportunity to file conduct charges –Decide on the appropriate type of hearing –Appropriate consequences Educational Meaningful Beneficial
