The AAUP Constitution sets forth the officers, Council members, and Executive Committee members. A constitutional amendment proviso approved by the 105th Annual Meeting as part of the AAUP’s restructuring plan, along with 2020 Emergency Election Rules addressing the COVID pandemic, provided for a transitional Council that during the period from the 2020 officer and Council elections (which concluded on July 20, 2020), through the close of any Council meeting held in or before June 2021, would consist of:
(a) the three AAUP officers and the two at-large Council Members elected to four year terms in the 2020 officer and Council elections,
(b) the previously directly-elected Council Members whose terms expire in June 2022, and
(c) the members of the AAUP-CBC Executive Committee whose terms expire in June 2021
At the June 2022 biennial Association Meeting and every four years thereafter, one at-large Council Member and the five regional Council Members shall be elected to four-year terms, and there will be no transitional members.
