Workplace bullying is becoming an increasingly popular topic in research (see Branch, Ramsay & Barker, 2013) and the media (e.g., Time, Belsky, 2013; and Wall Street Journal, Silverman, 2013), perhaps reflecting public awareness of bullying as both prevalent and problematic. A specific area of employment in which bullying has been consistently documented, manifesting in various forms and across positional hierarchies, is higher education. A specific resource outlining research and practical information, issues, and interventions relevant to bullying in higher education is Workplace Bullying in Higher Education (2013), edited by Jamie Lester, PhD, Associate Professor of Higher Education at George Mason University
