Cyberbullying Project... University of Wisconsin at Whitewater and community
Whitewater, WI and Janesville, WI
WHITEWATER, Nov 11, 2010 (The Janesville Gazette - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- UW-Whitewater launched a new campaign this week to combat a growing "epidemic" that has raised concern on college campuses across the nation.
Jo Ann Oravec, associate professor of information technology and business education, said the Whitewater Ends Bullying initiative is one that developed after the suicide of a Rutgers student earlier this fall.
The program is designed to raise awareness of bullying issues and provide an outlet for victims to seek help.
"Cyberbullying has become an epidemic," said Oravec, who has been researching the issue since 2003. "So many aspects of technology make it possible for bullies to inflict pain upon victims.
