The Bridge Research Consortium has published a policy brief outlining how universities can protect their researchers and faculty from online harassment. The authors propose a wraparound institutional support framework that incorporates seven domains of support: physical safety, cybersecurity, mental health and wellbeing, communications/media/public relations, legal, equity and inclusion, and human resources. They state that while many of these domains already exist at institutions, institutions must increase coordination and communication between them. They also note the importance of raising awareness among staff and educating them about offered services.
