American Association of University Professors

The AAUP is a nonprofit membership association of faculty and other academic professionals. Headquartered in Washington, DC, the association has members and chapters based at colleges and universities across the country.

Established on September 8, 2005, the chapter membership is open to all current and retired Augusta University faculty members as well to currently enrolled Augusta University graduate students. Chapter membership requires membership in the national association. Join now - or contact our recruitment chair, Andrew Balas. Our chapter generally meets on the third Friday of every month during the Spring and Fall semester.

 

Academic Freedom for a Free Society

AUP'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.

In Loving Memory of Dr. William A. "Bill" Reese II (1947-2020), a chapter founder
