Cyberbullying Policy
This sets out the definition, scope, and ideology that all students
have the right to study in a safe and disciplined environment
digitally, free from harassment. We expect the students to treat
everyone with kindness and support each other. The college has a
zero-tolerance policy when it comes to bullying. This policy
especially focuses on cyberbullying, as in the present situation,
the college is running classes online in contrast to physical
classes.
Cyberbullying is
“The activity of sending internet or text messages that threaten
or insult someone”
(Longman dictionary, 2020). United Academy considers cyberbullying
as very serious misconduct. The students found that doing so will
face very serious consequences. The Academy wants the students to
use the internet safely. All the online activities will be closely
monitored by the IT department. The college asks all students to use
the internet safely.
Cyberbullying includes:
- Threatening, insulting, abusing, and uploading inappropriate images in social media sites, email, videoconferencing applications like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams chat, image-sharing sites like Snapchat, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
- It can include provoking a third party to tease someone online.
- Although cyberbullying is not a separate criminal offense, there are laws like the Electronic Transaction Act 2063 of Nepal that apply to bullying and harassment.
