Anti-Fighting policy/ 2022-2023

 

Fighting is unacceptable for any reason at American University Schools of the Middle East and will not be tolerated. A fight is defined as a physical dispute occurring between two or more students.

 

The physical nature of a fight could include but is not limited to:

Any student who engages in such actions as defined above will be issued a report for disorderly conduct by the Principal. American University Schools of the Middle East will take tough decisions against such individuals.

 

In addition, that student will be suspended from the school for up to 5 days and indefinitely from all school related activities at the Principals discretion.

 

It will be left up to the administrator’s discretion as to whether an individual’s participation in a fight will be considered self-defense. If the administrator deems the actions as self- defense, then a lesser punishment will be issued to that participant.
