The AAUP has awarded its Alexander Meiklejohn Award for Academic Freedom to Patricia Ann McGuire, president of Trinity Washington University. 

The AAUP supports Senator Harkin’s Keep Our Educators Working Act, now being considered by the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. Education jobs are essential to our economic, social, and political health and to our vitality as a nation.

Delegates to the Ninety-sixth Annual Meeting of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) voted on June 12 to place Clark Atlanta University (GA) and the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston on the AAUP’s list of censured administrations. In addition, the delegates voted to sanction Antioch University (OH).

The AAUP supports the National Unemployment Compensation Initiative, designed to help eligible contingent faculty obtain unemployment compensation between academic terms. 

 During his remarkable life, Glenn, Professor Emeritus at Auburn University,  was active in the civil rights movement and advocated for the AAUP at every opportunity. Please consider a donation to the AAUP Endowment Fund in Glenn’s memory. 

Today is the last day for small AAUP chapters and conferences to file their 990-N tax return with the IRS.  

Federal law requires the election notice, which will be part of the mail ballot package, to be mailed to each ASC member at their last known home address.
