The AAUP is concerned with all aspects of faculty appointments and the evaluation of faculty for reappointment, promotion, and tenure. The Association's staff regularly advises faculty members about the nature of their concerns under Association standards, and whether and to what extent the Association can be of meaningful assistance to them in helping to resolve their complaints. In addition to providing advice to individual faculty members, the staff works with the AAUP's national committees to develop statements of policy dealing with faculty personnel matters.
