  • UUP to offer free bullying webinar

    To help combat the growing problem of workplace bullying in higher education, the Buffalo Center Chapter of United University Professions is hosting a webinar titled “Academic Bullying: Workplace Bullying and Civility in Academia” from 2-3:30 p.m. April 27 in 31 Capen Hall, North Campus.

    The webinar is free to all UUP members. Presenters will explore workplace bullying as an extreme type of social stress and discuss how the academic culture can create an antagonistic environment. Job stress will be examined as an antecedent and a consequence of bullying dynamics among and between faculty members, administrators, students and other academic employees.

    Attendees will learn about potential interventions into bully workplace cultures and how to identify and address bullying here at UB.

    Space is limited. Call 645-2013 or email cmblack@buffalo.edu to reserve a seat. For more information, click here.
