AMERICAN UNIVERSITY of KUWAIT 2007-2008 ACADEMIC CATALOG UNIVERSITY CODE OF CONDUCT The Code of Conduct The Student Code of Conduct governs behavior on or off campus that is illegal according to Kuwaiti law, affects the learning and teaching process in the University and that disrupts or potentially disrupts the learning process of fellow students or the teaching or administrative processes of the University. Because learning and intellectual growth can only be achieved in an atmosphere free of intimidation and coercion, students must observe local and state laws as well as the academic and behavioral regulations of the American University of Kuwait. Examples of violations of Student Code of Conduct include but are not limited to the following: Violations of Student Code of Conduct: 1. CAMPUS WELFARE & SAFETY 1.1 Abuse: Physical abuse, verbal abuse, threats, and intimidation, harassment, coercion and/or other conduct, which threatens or endangers the physical or emotional health or safety of any person. 1.2 Hazing: Persecuting, humiliating, or harassing another on campus. Especially when related to the initiating process of a campus group or organization. 1.3 Fire Regulations: Abuse, removal, tampering or wrongly activating fire and safety equipment. Falsely reporting a fire or dangerous materials on campus, and failure to comply with fire and safety regulations. 1.4 Controlled Substances: Use, possession or distribution of narcotics or other controlled substances except as expressly permitted by law. 1.5 Alcohol: Use, possession or distribution of alcoholic beverages is not permitted by the law and AUK regulations. 1.6 Weapons and Dangerous Materials: Illegal or unauthorized possession of firearms, explosives, other weapons, dangerous chemicals, or other dangerous articles or substances on AUK premises. AUK has a zero tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol use, weapons and dangerous materials brought to campus or any university sanctioned event, and physical altercations. 192

Proceedings under this Student Code may be carried out prior to, simultaneously with, or following civil or criminal proceedings off campus. d) When local authorities with a violation of law charge a student, AUK will neither request nor agree to special consideration for that individual because of his or her student status. If the alleged offense is also the subject of a proceeding before the Code of Conduct Committee under the Student Code, AUK may advise off-campus authorities of the existence of the Student Code and of how such matters will be handled internally within the AUK community. e) AUK will cooperate fully with law enforcement and other agencies to the enforcement of criminal law on campus and in the conditions imposed by criminal courts for the rehabilitation of student violators. Individual students and faculty members, acting in their personal capacities, remain free to interact with governmental representatives, as they deem appropriate. 2.
