ABSTRACT
Since educators became concerned with the effects of face-to-face bullying in primary and secondary school populations many years ago, suggested solutions frequently speak to the need for appropriate policy development or reform to address the concerns. This chapter attempts to make meaning of having one type of policy or another governing cyberbullying behaviour, whether a student conduct policy, a human rights policy, or an information communications technology (ICT) policy. It discusses recommendations for values/elements to consider when developing policy to address cyberbullying at the institutional level, as gleaned from the literature, our own studies' findings, and from the reflections of contributors. In order to achieve the desired policy intent of effectively addressing cyberbullying issues at the university level, one question which can emerge is whether using the law instead of policy might prove to be a better approach.
