Founded in 1915, the American Association of University Professors defends academic freedom and tenure, advocates collegial governance, and develops policies ensuring due process. Membership is open to college and university faculty members, administrators, graduate students and the general public.
The Connecticut State Conference serves as a link between the AAUP chapters in Connecticut and the national office of the AAUP. The Conference also facilitates communication among the chapters in the state, maintains several committees and a chapter services program, provides faculty with educational opportunities on important issues in higher education, and produces the Vanguard, an award winning newspaper.
