    The problem of workplace bullying requires the involvement and committment of politicians and lawmakers. They can be motivated by the people they respresent. The problem of workplace bullying is very hign in higher education. Statistics show that something like 50% of UK academics have experienced bullying. There is at present a petition against bullying in higher education. If you are a UK citizen or resident please sign the petition at http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Justice-Bullying/
