In the aftermath of the Rutgers student suicide, New Jersey lawmakers introduced on Monday the “Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights.” In addition to requiring that school officials complete anti-bullying training and agree to identify harassment as “good cause” for the suspension or expulsion of a student, the bill asks public colleges and universities to include an anti-bullying policy in their student codes of conduct. The Rights, Rules, and Responsibilities guide addresses bullying as an issue under “Respect for Others,” stating that “abusive or harassing behavior” is subject to “University disciplinary sanctions” and suggesting methods for resolution, although it does not specify the consequences for such behavior to the degree posed by the bill.
