The AAUP Council voted by secret ballot in November to elect Henry Reichman as second vice president. As noted in the fall 2019 Academe, this election was necessary because of the resignation of first vice president Brooks Ellwood in July and the succession of second vice president Caprice Lawless to the position of first vice president in accordance with procedures outlined in the AAUP Constitution. Reichman’s term ends in June 2020, when a new officer election will take place at the biennial meeting.
