Details About the Annual Meeting
Dear Colleagues:
Greetings!
I look forward to seeing you at our Annual Meeting on Saturday the 26th of April at ISU (Illinois State University) at Bloomington - Normal. We will meet at Stevenson Hall, in room 101.
The meeting is open to all full and part time faculty, administrators and graduate students. (Only members can vote on resolutions and other motions.) I urge all those who can attend to do so. This will be a wonderful opportunity to:
o Come and meet colleagues and fellow AAUP members;
o Meet and hear from the national and state AAUP leadership;
o Vote on key resolutions;
o Pick up leaflets and important publications at subsidized prices;
o Support AAUP for what it represents.
Remember that AAUP is the voice of Academia. Your opinions do matter. Only with a united voice we can preserve an Academia that values Academic Freedom, Tenure, Due Process and Shared Governance.
See you at the meeting!
Pan Papacosta
President, AAUP-IL
