The Cornell Chapter of the AAUP represents tenure-track and non-tenure-track faculty, adjuncts, librarians, postdocs, and academic staff at Cornell University. It is open to everyone with a teaching and research position at Cornell (professors, RTE faculty, librarians, postdocs, graduate students).
Are you concerned about …
… threats to research funding on political grounds …
From the gilded age to the present, the AAUP has been at the forefront of fights to preserve the integrity of research and teaching in higher education.
… academic freedom and free expression …
The AAUP has shaped US higher education by helping articulate and disseminate principles of academic freedom, including tenure protections and faculty governance rights.
… political attacks on universities and their communities?
With increasing attacks against our right to teach, research, and advocate, the AAUP aims to organize every campus to protect our students, colleagues, and the public mission of higher education
Our values
