Memberships are also open to retired faculty members.
The major goal of the organization is to maintain and advance the ideals and standards of teaching and research in higher education. Some of the chief interests lie in areas such as academic freedom and tenure, the economic status of the profession, the status of women in higher education, professional ethics, student rights and freedoms, and college and university government. The local chapter holds approximately two meetings each year centered on topics of importance to higher education in general and to this institution and its faculty in particular. All members of the faculty are welcome to attend. Go to next section.
