However as you say there are rules - often rules well displayed for detecting and addressing negative behavior like this.

So the questions that beg to be asked then are:

1. Do they not know about these rules?
Perhaps that is an issue FIRST should consider on a larger scale because it will be lost in the flow of this topic.

2. Does the school not publish these rules? As you say many are local law and require publication and in some cases even interactive education. So why take the grievance here instead of down that path?



It's certainly not the entire issue but I take away from it that it's there.
Generally grievances like this are rarely just this one aspect but add this to the great big kettle and stir and sooner or later the mixture can be volatile.
Someone gets bullied and sooner or later it starts attacking their self-worth.
The thing is that you can tread near being a bully, and to a person that is often more seriously bullied it can be a serious blow and their reaction could have reasons but be misdirected.

I feel like, in a situation like this, the worst thing to do is nothing.

Assuming nothing is done, then the situation will fall to something I like to call "Moral Entropy." Which is, in a sense, the law that states that anything when left to itself will get worse.
Basically this means that if we sit here and argue over whether or not there is enough evidence to warrant an investigation, the corruption will get worse and eventually destroy the team in question.
Always consider the worst case scenario, then go with the course of action whose worst possible consequences are less severe.
Assume the OP is making this up and just trying to get someone in trouble. Then an investigation happens, a little inconvenience for the person in question, then they are acquitted and life goes on.
Now assume the OP is telling the truth (which I think he/she is). Then assume no investigation happens. The team remains corrupt and nothing is solved; students remain miserable. Much worse, I think.
And also: the OP asked mainly for advice. Why would they ask falsely for advice, that they would never use, if it gave them no benefit? Doesn't make sense to me.
