Air University (AU) Policy on Harassment

Harassment is defined as an unwelcome behavior from a person who holds some kind of power or
authority over the person who is being harassed. These advances may include, but may not be limited
to verbal or physical communication with some sort of overtones, that makes the victim uncomfortable
and affects their performance. This becomes particularly problematic for students or employees when:
 Submission to such conduct is made a term or condition for employment or participation in an
educational program.
 Submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as a basis for employment or academic
decision directly affecting the individual.
 Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an employee’s work
performance or student’s academic performance creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive
work or learning environment.
In order to facilitate an environment that is conducive to learning and is free from all types of
harassment. AU has zero tolerance for any form of harassment that interferes with the work
performance of a student or an employee. In order to prevent sexual and all other types of harassment
on its campus AU has a policy, whose aim is to make the campus free from all sorts of harassment.
This policy is being followed in letter and spirit and AU has established a “Harassment Monitoring
Cell”. If anyone (be it a student or employee) in the AU community feels that they are being harassed,
they can either approach their class advisor, department Chair/Dean or send an email to
tahir.rasool@aack.au.edu.pk. All cases are handled and resolved in a professional manner so that the
confidentiality of all parties is maintained.

solutions which are most feasible. Types of Counseling required for AU students may vary as they
pass through different circumstances during their academic tenure which are not favorable or may
come across various situations which are not ideal.
