Harassment (both sexual and non-sexual), Bullying, and Discrimination are all different.  Bullying is often thought of 
as a k-12 issue with children.

I am thinking that the "cyber" part should be mentioned within an IT policy (AUP maybe).

Can't you use your non cyber policies?  Harassment is harassment...why would the method be a distinguishable factor 
that would make it allowable in one format when it would not be allowed in another?

Hello All,

Does anyone have a specific policy or specifically mention Cyber-Bullying in their policies?  IT Policies or otherwise?

Thanks,
