We are One Faculty

We are one faculty – no matter our ranks, our contract types, our years of service, or our backgrounds. When we advocate together and work collaboratively, we will strengthen our working conditions, our institutions, and our students’ learning environment.

​Your AAUP chapter is an advocacy chapter. We work with you to advocate on behalf and alongside faculty, students, and staff to improve our institutions. ​

Why join the American Association of University Professors (AAUP)?

We advocate for academic freedom

We work to strengthen shared governance

"The variety and complexity of the tasks performed by institutions of higher education produce an inescapable interdependence among governing board, administration, faculty, students, and others. The relationship calls for adequate communication among these components, and full opportunity for appropriate joint planning and effort."
Statement on Government of Colleges & Universities

Resources on shared governance

We are one faculty. All faculty deserve stable, regular contracts and fair pay.

We promote faculty participation in institutional budget decisions

"The faculty should participate both in the preparation of the total
institutional budget and (within the framework of the total budget) in decisions relevant to the further apportioning of its specific fiscal divisions (salaries, academic programs, tuition, physical plant and grounds, and so on)."
