We are an advocacy chapter of the AAUP (American Association of University Professors). That means we work with other stakeholders on campus to advocate for faculty rights and shared governance. See some of the issues we have worked on here. We are not a faculty union, although other campuses do have unionized AAUP chapters. We do no collect chapter dues but encourage all faculty to join the national organization.
