AAUP Newsroom

The AAUP remains the leading organization primarily dedicated to protecting the academic freedom of professors. Faculty members turn to the AAUP for assistance in the thousands each year. Some of these faculty members are well-known figures with resources and support. Most, however, are ordinary faculty members who need guidance in responding to troublesome or threatening professional attacks. Through the AAUP, faculty determine the principles of our profession and the procedures by which to protect them. When the AAUP speaks, it is the voice of the profession.

The AAUP's salary survey provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive analysis available of faculty salaries at colleges and universities around the country. The 2009-10 salary survey will be released in mid-April.


In the aftermath of the shootings at the University of Alabama, news media from across the country have asked the AAUP to provide comments and background on tenure and related topics: the decline of tenure, the process of tenure, the stress of tenure denial, the role of collegiality in tenure decisions, background checks, and general salary information.
