2014 – This paper summarizes the working group discussions, which took place at the Cyberbullying at Canadian Universities: Linking Research, Policy, and Practice symposium.  It also briefly summarizes the research presentations delivered at the symposium.  In this first of two papers, the definition of the issue of cyberbullying and the challenges it represents in the context of higher education are addressed. Some of the points addressed include: the many blurred lines that exist when attempting to circumscribe this issue, reasons for under-reporting, and impediments to moving forward on this issue.
