The Association's Annual Report on the Economic Status of the Profession (known as the "salary survey") is published in the March–April issue of Academe. Other Association reports are published in the Bulletin of the American Association of University Professors, which is included in the price of a regular Academe subscription and is mailed annually with the September–October issue. A subscription to Academe is included in Association membership. Non-members and AAUP chapters may purchase subscriptions. Single issues, including the March-April (salary survey) issue, are also available while supplies last. |
