UB Warns Students: Cyberbullying Will Be Reported to Police

Over the weekend, the University of Belize issued a statement addressing recent incidents of cyberbullying. This follows reports of fake social media accounts created using the university’s logo, where pictures of students were posted alongside inappropriate and humiliating statements intended to embarrass or harm them.

In its statement, the university made it clear that it strongly condemns these actions. “The University of Belize is committed to maintaining a safe and respectful online environment for everyone,” the university said. “We remind all students that cyberbullying is strictly prohibited on any university platform or social media associated with the university.”

The university also warned that students found participating or encouraging cyberbullying could face serious disciplinary action, including possible suspension. The university made it clear that these reports will be forwarded to the Cyberbullying Unit of the police department for further investigation. 

The university urged students to report any incidents of cyberbullying to the administration or counselling services.
