Student Mistreatment Policy
As described by the Association of American Medical Colleges, mistreatment occurs when "behavior shows disrespect for
the dignity of others and unreasonably interferes with the learning process. It can take the form of physical punishment,
sexual harassment, psychological cruelty, and discrimination based on race, religion, ethnicity, sex, age, or sexual
orientation." Each member of the GAU community is entitled to respect, and all professional relationships, regardless of
status, should be treated respectfully and courteously. All individuals, despite their culture, ethnicity, background or sexual
orientation, should feel welcome in the learning environment

GAU will have zero tolerance for:

- Situations where there is physical abuse or violence
- Humiliating of students whether verbally or physically as justified by reasonable thinking persons
- Threats to fail, give lower grades or submit a poor evaluation based on gender, race, ethnicity, sexual

orientation, religion, or refusal to grant personal favors
- Exclusion from learning opportunities without justifiable reasons

GAU takes allegations of student mistreatment very seriously. These are the steps for making a complaint:
