New Members-Only Content

By Edward J. Graham

Over the past year the AAUP has worked to strengthen the benefits and services offered to our members and chapters. We now offer webinars throughout the academic year; topics have included making formal information requests, strengthening faculty handbooks, good-faith bargaining, and working with the media. Other resources include guidebooks on navigating faculty appointments, on the Family and Medical Leave Act, and on faculty handbooks as enforceable contracts.

In October, each AAUP member was sent an e-mail message with a unique username and password allowing access to members-only content through the websites of the AAUP and the AAUP Collective Bargaining Congress. In addition to guidebooks and recordings of previous webinars, members can access toolkits designed to strengthen local chapters and help faculty organize around specific issues on campus.
