Updates and Information from AAUP Advocacy Chapter

Sent as email to all members and full-time faculty from the Executive Committee, April 26, 2024.

Dear colleagues,

As we enter the last weeks of the academic year, we hope the knowledge of your own achievements and those of the students in your classes is carrying you forward with pride and a sense of accomplishment. Despite this year’s chaos, we will soon celebrate our students during Manifest on May 10.

Please see here the minutes from our last meeting, published last week. Note the visual reference to one of the year’s highlights. Do click through to the various links, we covered a lot of ground at the meeting.

We expect the President’s final report sent to the Board on May 2 to be shared with the community.

As the situation unfolds, please continue to voice your concerns to us directly, to your senators, and within your departments.

Our next meeting will be Friday May 17, 11:30am–1:00pm, hybrid, in the 623 building, room 407B, and remote on Zoom. We note that the preference expressed at the last meeting was for a meeting after grades are in but we hope that the last day of that week is fine. It will encourage everyone to get their grades finished by that morning. 😊

A calendar invite will follow. If you join on campus we can decide if we want to go out for a bite afterwards.
