We are pleased to announce that the AAUP will be moving forward with organizational changes after affirmative votes at last week’s AAUP annual meeting and AAUP Collective Bargaining Congress regular meeting. Both bodies voted overwhelmingly to proceed with a package of changes that combines the AAUP-CBC and the AAUP. The AAUP-CBC will no longer exist as a separate entity and its programs will be transferred to the AAUP. This will streamline our governance and organizational structure to ensure that we are using our resources to support our chapters and conferences.
These changes grow out of the shared priorities and organizational vision of the AAUP and the AAUP-CBC. The elected leadership of both bodies believes that we are one profession, regardless of institution type, tenure status, rank, job title, or collective bargaining status. We are strongest when we focus on building and supporting chapters and empowering our members to effect change at the campus level. We are excited about these changes and believe that they will result in a stronger AAUP, one that is best situated to thrive for another hundred years.
Later this summer, we will be sharing more information to help our chapters best implement these changes. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
