Bullying is a form of harassment, but personal and more intense. It has always been a part of our culture and it doesn鈥檛 just happen on the school playground. In the workplace, bullying is more likely to occur where there is an authoritarian style of management, during times of restructuring and when there are excessive demands placed on individuals. It is a serious affliction that undermines productivity and morale. The worst examples occur in private. The 91探花 Healthy Campus Committee, in conjunction with the Fair Treatment Office, invites all faculty, staff, and students to get involved in the annual Anti-Bullying Day by wearing pink on Wednesday, February 27. One person can change many.
