Codes on varsity harassment, but not bullying

-

Do universiti­es safeguard against harassment while bullying goes unchecked? Yes, according to a recent study in the US. Two researcher­s at Murray State University analysed 276 faculty codes of conduct and found only eight that mentioned bullying. Most mentioned their organisati­on’s aversion to harassment — particular­ly on the basis of race, religion, sex or other factors prohibited by law.
