2013 AAUP Updates

Hundreds of faculty and students at Bowling Green State University protested yesterday over the administration's plan to slash 100 faculty positions. "That is a mistake that BGSU must not make," BGSU AAUP chapter president David Jackson said. "We will be losing somewhere between 500 and 800 classes to be taught next year."

In a letter to Karen Gould, the AAUP applauds her support of a department's right to co-sponsor a controversial forum.

The administration at Bowling Green State University in Ohio has abruptly announced plans to cut 100 full-time faculty by fall 2013. Help our colleagues at Bowling Green and take a stand for quality education by signing this petition.

A new report examines issues surrounding the participation in governance of faculty in contingent appointments recommends guidelines for inclusion.

The AAUP has issued a revised version of the 1973 Statement on the Faculty Status of College and University Librarians. The revision builds on the earlier statement's call for granting faculty status to librarians involved in teaching and research.
