Food for thought…
Our mission is to promote and uphold AAUP principles on faculty rights and responsibilities, particularly the principles of shared governance and academic freedom.
The Association of Governing Boards, of which WFU is a member, recently issued a statement highly supportive of shared governance. It highlights the 1966 AAUP Statement on Government of Colleges and Universities, which recognizes the faculty’s primacy in certain areas: “curriculum, subject matter and methods of instruction, research, faculty status, and those aspects of student life which relate to the educational process.” In addition, “the faculty should actively participate in the determination of policies and procedures governing salary increases.”
Announcements:
All are invited to the NC AAUP’s annual conference, which will take place at UNC Greensboro on Saturday, March 24. The conference is open to AAUP members and non-members alike.
The theme of this year’s conference is Protecting Academic Freedom & Free Speech on NC Campuses.”
