Abstract	:	Cyberbullying and its consequences are a global challenge. Nigerian universities did not have cyberbullying management strategies to help guide the prevention and control of the phenomenon just like many universities around the world. The purpose of this qualitative exploratory single case study was to explore the Committee of Provosts, Deans, and Directors (COPD) members’ recommendations for the development of cyberbullying management strategies for the staff and students to help control the high prevalence rate of cyberbullying in a southwestern Nigerian university. Data for the study were obtained from three sources, interviews, documents, and archival records of the university. Seven participants were used for the study. The participants were members of the COPD in active employment of the university who belonged to the senior leadership management cadre. The participants had been involved in the development and or review and implementation of policies regarding staff and students’ conduct and acceptable behavior. The documents and archival records were used to ensure trustworthiness of the study and to add depth to the inquiry. The constant comparative method was used to analyze the data. Three major themes emerged as findings in the study. Theme 1 was the staff and students of the university needed cyberbullying awareness raising. Theme 2 was the requirement to survey the cyberbullying situation in the university. Theme 3 was the staff and students of the university needed cyberbullying management policy. These findings may help to make university policy makers aware of the significance of cyberbullying policy in Nigerian universities.
