New chapter of AAUP to be established at UND After a hiatus of 10 years, a group of faculty who are members of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) is attempting to establish a chapter at the University. There are presently 12 AAUP members at UND, and six of the 12 are members of the organizing committee: Jon Jackson, Lana Rakow, Sandra Donaldson, Douglas Munski, Judy Demers and Curt Stofferahn. If you would like to be part of the effort to establish an AAUP chapter at UND, contact any one of the members of the organizing committee. Faculty may join AAUP at the following URL: http://www.aaup.org/AAUP/involved/join/ The AAUP's purpose is to advance academic freedom and shared governance, to define fundamental professional values and standards for higher education, and to ensure higher education's contribution to the common good.
