The AAUP's Policy Documents and Reports (widely known as the Redbook because of the color of its cover) presents a comprehensive range of policies, in some instances formulated in cooperation with other organizations. The tenth edition, just published, includes basic statements on academic freedom, tenure, and due process; academic governance; professional ethics; research and teaching; distance education; intellectual property; discrimination; collective bargaining; accreditation; and students' rights and freedoms.
Among the new documents not found in previous editions are statements on academic freedom and electronic communications; background checks preceding faculty appointments; contingent faculty appointments and the academic profession; corporate funding of academic research; and family responsibilities and academic work.
A selection of policy statements is available online.
