When there is bad news for our state budget, we
can expect ongoing struggles over the basic support we need to
do our jobs. Should we prioritize airplanes or libraries? Athletics
or scholarship? Food courts or manageable class sizes? Pay raises
for a few or paid family leave for everyone? We need a voice in
such difficult decisions.
When our legislature contemplates insulating classrooms
from controversy and correcting perceived political imbalances,
academic freedom is at risk.
When administrators invite high-priced efficiency
experts to assess the allocation of university resources, we should
worry about the autonomy of our departments and programs.
The AAUP is the nation’s largest and oldest
organization representing university faculty. The national organization
has already given us crucial support. With a large and active
local chapter, we will be able to draw on national’s extensive
network of resources and expertise.
Annual membership dues depend on your status:
$44 Part-Time
$87 New Non-Tenured,
$173 Full-Time Tenured
Other options and term definitions are located

We see this as a powerful investment in the future
of Ohio University, our profession, our academic freedom, and
the advancement of higher education. Please join us.
