Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying is a broad range of behaviors or actions in which a person uses technology in a way that is perceived as aggressive or threatening to another person.

• You should let the person know that what they are doing is not okay and ask them to stop. Make it clear that the contact is unwanted.
• Unfriend/block the person on social media or phone.
• Make a report through the Dean of Students Office: https://deanofstudents.arizona.edu/accountability/students/student-accountability
