Do you want to attend a school that does not tolerate bullying or are you thinking of attending Binghamton university.
The Binghamton University administration needs to implement a grievance process to help victims and to punish bullies. Simply ending the practice of supporting and rewarding bullies would be an improvement. Here is a quote from a university report:
“The stories about department climate varied, but they were not even. For every uplifting tale likening the department to a supportive and functional family or even the mythic garden of Eden, we heard distressing tales about disrespect, discrimination, harassment, and bullying. Taken together, the complaints reflected a decided gender and racial bias: women and people of color reported the highest levels of discontent and victimization. To be sure, white men, especially more junior ones, have also suffered, but our conversations revealed far fewer cases of white men being targeted compared to women and people of color.
The least of the grievances concerned recurring reports of women and people of color being ignored, slighted and talked over in various settings, formal and informal, including department meetings. This more subtle discrimination is, in some departments, accompanied by acts of micro-aggression –assaults, verbal and nonverbal, subtle and not so subtle, on the dignity, intellect and sense of self-worth.”
