Talk:American Association of University Professors

message: I've been looking for the 1915 Statement of the AAUP on academic freedom. The link in the article is dead. I can't find it anywhere on the AAUP's own site - just the 1940 and 1970 versions. The only place I could find it on the web was Campus Watch, a site many may not see as a good source. I added the link, but left the dead one there too, in the hope it returns. Is that too sloppy?

replies: text: There is no link for the earlier statement and it is not available on the AAUP website.  However, there was an earlier statement.  Althought I have no original source, the article references O'Neil (2005) for a discussion of the 1915 Statement.  It would be great to have the actual statement, but I have not yet gone out of my way to find it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.33.126.247 (talk) 18:32, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  1915 Statement 

message: The AAUP is apparently registered as a labor union, or at the very least, has a labor union registered in its name, dating back at least through 2000. It has at least three related organizations: AAUP the association, AAUP Foundation (nonprofit/charity) and AAUP-Collective Bargaining Congress (AAUP-CBC). It appears that the association is the one registered as the union, as is apparent by a quick reading of the association's 2013 Constitution.
I've been going through several US union articles to add basic statistics, and would have done the same here, had not the article counterintuitively indicated AAUP itself to be a charity.
It has 37,844 (2013) members. The majority of members are classified as "full time," composing of the total membership around 81%, or 30,747 members. The second largest classification is "part time," with 13%, or 5,106 members. The others are "retired," "graduate," and "associate," with 2%, 1% and 1%, respectively. "Associate" members are ineligible to vote in the union. AAUP contracts also cover a significant number of non-members, known as agency fee payers, which number comparatively about a quarter of the size of the union's membership, with 9,122 non-members paying agency fees. There was formerly also a classification of "entrants," which by the numbers appears to have been merged into "full time" in 2011, thus consolidating 17% of the membership.
As you can see, I've prepared info and a graph of reported membership and finances ready to go. Please insert this information into the article as appropriate! :) djr13 (talk) 06:08, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

message: I believe that this article should be edited to reflect more or better sources. The article almost exclusively relies on citations that originate directly from the subject of the article itself. Even with that being the case, large portions of the article are not cited at all, particularly in the sections on focused on collective bargaining and contingent faculty, although other information that is not appropriately cited exists.

thread_title:  Citations and Sources 

message: It should be mentioned in the article that in recent years the AAUP has seemed to be very eager to get itself involved in issues such as BDS and the IHRA definition of hatred of Jews, and some of these interventions were overall poorly conceived and poorly received. AnonMoos (talk) 22:16, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Well we could certainly mention specific cases, such as the AAUP's support of anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists like Joy Karega,  and Ward Churchill. The AAUP has also supported faculty who engage in threats and violent acts such as Melissa Click, Eric Clanton, and, Tariq Khan.  HoundofBaskersville (talk) 20:52, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
