What is the purpose of our chapter?
AAUP is emphatically dedicated to defending academic freedom and shared governance in higher education. Historically, the Richard Hudson chapter played a significant role in shaping the UCA faculty handbook into a model of shared governance and due process for all faculty.

Today, our AAUP chapter ensures that UCA remains committed to academic freedom and faculty’s right to grieve against violations of shared governance and academic freedom. We serve as an advisory body and an outside vehicle for communication with administration.

What support can AAUP offer to individuals?
AAUP cannot act in an official way regarding individual concerns or complaints about shared governance and academic freedom violations. However, we can provide advice and support for faculty regarding academic freedom concerns or grievances.
