The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) is an organization of professors and other academics in the United States. Founded in 1915 in New York City, it is currently headquartered in Washington, D.C.
AAUP membership includes over 500 local campus chapters and 39 state organizations. Your membership in the AAUP strengthens our collective voice.

By becoming a dues-paying member, you invest in the long-term health of higher education and join a network committed to the integrity of the academic profession.
