Dear John:
The AAUP is excited to announce the publication of the twelfth edition of Policy Documents and Reports, known as the Redbook. The Redbook is a tool, developed collaboratively over more than a century, to defend and strengthen today’s academic communities. If you join the AAUP (or rejoin, if your membership has expired), you will be eligible for a 30 percent discount on the Redbook and several other books as a member benefit.
Order your copy of the Redbook today.
Inside, you will find guidance to inform and bolster faculty handbooks and collective bargaining contract proposals on academic freedom, shared governance, due process, contingent appointments, antidiscrimination policies, online education, intellectual property, institutional budgets, students’ rights, and more. Many faculty handbooks and collective bargaining agreements already incorporate AAUP language about essential concepts from the 1940 Statement on Principles of Academic Freedom and Tenure and other documents, and the principles of shared governance outlined in the Redbook inform decision-making in colleges and universities across the country.
The Redbook is an indispensable resource for working with colleagues to hold administrations accountable for sound academic practice and to protect and defend college and university teaching and research. Its AAUP-recommended best practices provide enforceable policy language that improves faculty working conditions and student learning conditions.
Purchase a hardcover, paperback, or e-book Redbook through the Johns Hopkins University Press website.
Be a part of our fight for higher education!
In solidarity,
Mia McIver
AAUP Executive Director
