A recent study published in the Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Practice reveals that workplace bullying is significantly prevalent in higher education institutions, with rates reaching up to 68% at some colleges. This bullying occurs from both colleagues and supervisors, and notably, from students pressuring faculty for better grades, a phenomenon termed contrapower harassment. Faculty members who are Black, Indigenous, or people of color, as well as junior faculty, are disproportionately targeted by colleagues, while senior faculty are more often subjected to grade-related bullying from students. The study surveyed 189 faculty and staff across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., highlighting the detrimental impact on individual well-being and institutional integrity. AI
