The bullying of academics follows a pattern of horrendous, Orwellian elimination rituals, often hidden from the public. Despite the anti-bullying policies (often token), bullying is rife across campuses, and the victims (targets) often pay a heavy price. "Nothing strengthens authority as much as silence." Leonardo da Vinci - "All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men [or good women] do nothing." -- Edmund Burke

Say NO to bullying.
You know it makes sense.

Posting on the bullied blogger
I have been ashamed of colleagues and myself for not having the courage to be a Spartacus but I am far more ashamed of my institution for not having the sense to intervene more effectively for the sake of all parties.

Speak out against workplace bullying

Advice from the bullied blogger...
...pick your fights carefully and on your own territory as far as possible • document everything! note time and place of every insult, keep every email, scan every letter • know your rights (written and unwritten) and discuss these with co-workers • refuse to be isolated • identify and explore possible escape routes
