Summary

This book reveals the hidden problem of unacceptable student conduct towards faculty, principally in light of gender relations. It draws on first-hand empirical research funded by the Nuffield Foundation.

The book seeks ways to understand unacceptable student behavior, sexual relations in universities, and bullying. How can the poor management of students' bad behavior be improved-something the research shows to be sorely needed.

This original book on a topical subject will interest readers in North America, Europe, and Australia. It should be required reading for faculty, staff, and administrators, and will be helpful to university employees working in human resources and staff development. It will also be relevant to students in the many disciplines that offer courses in gender relations in the workplace, sociology, post-compulsory education, management, and human resources training.
