The Fine Print
These rates apply to non-collective bargaining members. If you teach at an institution where the AAUP has a collective bargaining agreement, please contact your local chapter to join. If you teach in Nevada, please contact the Nevada Faculty Alliance. Nonfaculty are welcome to support the AAUP's work by joining as associate members.
Start a Chapter
Active AAUP chapters serve the profession on more than 500 campuses by supporting principles and programs that vitally affect the quality of higher education and professional life. Find out how you can start a chapter at your college or university.
Your Membership is Meaningful
Joining the AAUP says that you want to help shape the future of our profession. You want a voice in matters such as academic freedom, faculty governance, career issues, tenure, economic security for contingent faculty, and the overuse of contingent appointments.
