Professor Loraleigh Keashly, academic director of CULMA's Master's in Dispute Resolution (MADR) program, is extensively quoted in a story about workplace bullying, an issue she has been researching for more than 10 years. A study performed by the College of Urban, Labor and Metropolitan Affairs in 2000 indicated that one in six employees reported being victims of "harmful" mistreatment by fellow employees. "They become disabled in a way," Keashly explains. "It inhibits a person's ability to do their job and becomes problematic for the organization."
