Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is any communication received via social media or email that seeks to intimidate, harass, threaten, or otherwise do harm to people or to internal or external Information Resources. It also encompasses transmitting materials in violation of the University’s sexual harassment, hostile workplace or protection of minors policies, or that violates the policies of external networks and resources.
Report cyberbullying to the CUIT Service Desk (https://cuit.columbia.edu/service-desk), either by calling 212-854-1919 during daytime hours, visiting the Walk-in Center at 202 Philosophy Hall (daytime hours only), or submitting a ticket at https://cuit.columbia.edu/service-desk.
CUIT will forward cyberbullying complaints to the Director of Computer Security in the CISO office. The Director, working with Public Safety, OGC and Student Conduct and Community Standards, will determine if the offensive material exists on a University resources.
Material stored on external systems (e.g., Facebook, LinkedIn, Snap Chat, etc.) cannot be directly mitigated by CUIT.
Other departments may be involved depending on the target of the bullying.
