Would love to hear what others think, and suggestions as to how to proceed on the following scenario.
On a particular website ( in-house) as in, only members can log in,its for the students only.
Anyhow there are a few students in particular and one who seems to be the leader who are actively targeting another group.
For example they will organise a night out but specify that the other group are not invited.Obviously there are many groups ,ie the Arts students ,the law students etc who organise nights out,but they do not specify that a particular group are to be excluded.In most cases those who are on other courses wouldn't know anyone on other courses,so wouldn't go,but this is different,in that this group are targeting another group and isolating them.
Let me give another example..
If I were part of a yoga class,and someone else is part of the yoga and pill ates class and I organise a night out but I specify that only the pure yoga people are invited,but I say that I will let the yoga and running class join but no way are the yoga and pillates are to come.
Each and every time the group are mentioned it is in the negative and the undertone is one of,they are a lesser group than us,it can get quite nasty.
The group whom are being targeted did originally think this was just a bit of fun and slagging but now its escalating to being downright nasty.
These are first year students ,and I some of them are beginning to feel the brunt of this.
Should I do something,like talk to the college? Or should I just leave it and let the students themselves deal with it (even though, they are not dealing with it very well)?
