"A basic essential to the permanent peace is a decent standard of living." F.D.Roosevelt
 

"Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures."                              J.F.Kennedy

 

“It should never be forgotten that peace resides ultimately not in the hands of governments, but in the hands of the people. For unless peace can be made real to men, women and children of the Middle East, the best efforts of negotiators will come to naught.”  
“ We aim to build a better future under peace: to change the pattern of life for our people from despair and hopelessness to honor and dignity. We want all voices to be heard in shaping a new regional order.”  
King Hussein

The Rationale
The Need
AUP Mission


The American University of Palestine, Inc (AUP), a nonprofit organization, was founded by American educators, professionals and businessmen committed to a peaceful and economically thriving Middle East with Palestine and its People, key players and contributors thereof.  It is established to help enhance the cause for Peace in the Middle East via equitable opportunities for all to education and subsequently to the economic gain that education provides. The University will also serve the region’s burgeoning economy through curricula, which include the knowledge most needed by Middle Eastern countries.

The American University of Palestine (AUP) is a pure American University established in the Commonwealth of Kentucky under United States Law, and will operate under IRS Code 501 (c) (3). Its academic accreditation will come through United States/American sources.

 AUP will provide for deserving students judged on a purely academic context to attend without regard to national origin, ethnic persuasion, religion, sexual orientation, or politics.  In fact, differences in the student body will be encouraged for the purposes of inclusion, conflict resolution and the promotion of Peace through opportunity.

The financial solution to the AUP operating budget is planned through the AUP’s FANUES Foundation to generate long-lasting revenues for the life of the AUP.  The pristine character of this “American University” will be guaranteed by locating in a central area in the Middle East close to Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
