AAUP

Despite its former name (AAUP-KSU), the Kent State faculty union is not a chapter of AAUP in the way in which that notion is commonly understood. Our union is an independent entity that voluntarily affiliates with AAUP rather than a dependent, local unit that owes its very existence to AAUP. From time to time over our history, the leadership of Kent State's faculty union has questioned whether continuing the affiliation with AAUP is in the best interest of our union. We once again find ourselves in such a time. The discussion we need to have as a union about the possibility of disaffiliation is a complex one-too complex to cover in a single communication. Below is a series of communications sent to faculty taking a deeper dive into the question facing us... We are pleased to continue our tradition of service to faculty, and we hope to hear from you with your comments, concerns and suggestions for the future of the Association. Feel free to contact us - we look forward to hearing from..
