“…A survey of students (n = 414) in one Australian university found that non-heterosexual students were much more likely (30% to 13%) to report bullying than heterosexual students (Davis et al, 2018). Homophobic and transphobic bullying of students is a concern in both face-to-face (Clark et al, 2022;Koehler & Copp, 2021;Rivers, 2016) and online (Pescitelli, 2019) settings.…”

We may think that bullying is a childish behaviour that is left behind on finishing school, or that universities and colleges are too cultured and intellectual as institutions to have room for such behaviour, but these hopes are far from the truth. The research evidence shows that bullying of all kinds is rife in higher education. Indeed, it seems likely that the peculiar nature of higher education actively encourages particular kinds of bullying. This article provides a review of the research on bullying in higher education, considering what this shows about its meaning, extent and nature, and reviews the issues that have been identified and possible solutions to them. It concludes that, while there is much that higher education institutions need to do to respond effectively to bullying, revisiting their traditions and underlying purposes should support them in doing so.

“…Research on discrimination against minority students and staff at higher education institutions points to a diverse set of questions raised and methodologies employed to address the phenomenon. 2 In the UK, it was found that verbal harassment was more prevalent than physical violence towards LGBTI+ individuals which nevertheless creates a 'climate of fear' (Ellis 2009: 727) and places them at increased risk of psychological distress. Other studies demonstrated that discrimination leads to isolation and avoidance of campus and other students with perpetrators being fellow students from LGBTI+ community (Evans et al 2017;Papadaki 2017;Smith et al 2022;Campen et al 2022).…”

This paper discusses the results of the international applied research project ‘UniDiversity – Universities Towards Diversity’ that examined what discriminatory attitudes, beliefs and behaviours based on sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics (SOGISC) exist in the Lithuanian, Greek and Italian academic environment. Specifically, this paper analyses how LGBTI+ individuals conceive of different forms of discrimination in the Lithuanian academic environment. The paper fills the knowledge gap in terms of intolerance and discrimination against LGBTI+ individuals at Lithuanian higher education institutions and provides its theoretical explanation. By focusing on the empirical data collected from survey and focus group interviews, the paper interprets them within the framework of both the sociopolitical context and theoretical debates about heteronormative attitudes. The paper argues that there exists a gap between the declarative openness to LGBTI+ people within Lithuanian universities and persisting stereotypes and discriminatory attitudes towards them.
