About the AAUP and its goals:

     The initials "AAUP" stand for the American Association of University Professors. The organization was founded in 1915 by a group of distinguished educators, including John Dewey and Arthur O. Lovejoy, to promote academic freedom and collegiality in America's colleges and universities. In doing so, the AAUP sought to create an atmosphere compatible with free inquiry and the exchange of ideas in higher education. The AAUP remains committed to these goals, and central to these efforts is the Association's defense of academic freedom & tenure and the professional standing of all members of the professoriate.

Pennsylvania Chapter Service Program

As part of our on-going efforts to better serve our membership, the Pennsylvania Division maintains a chapter service program. If you wish to form an AAUP chapter at your institution, or if you wish to revitalize an existing chapter, we may be able to help. To contact us on this matter, simply click here.
