MN Committee A Guidelines Faculty who have concerns in these areas should first work with their local AAUP chapter officers and pursue all possible local appeals which may be described in their Faculty Handbooks.
Faculty who have concerns which are not being adequately addressed locally should feel free to contact the MN Committee A. We will not assume that the faculty member is always right or that we can always help those who have been mistreated. As necessary, we will seek the advise of the national AAUP office.
AAUP primarily defends policies and principles, not individuals. The MN Committee A will provide information and interpretations on AAUP Policy Documents and Reports, as contained in the Redbook, and seek to find appropriate relative statements.
Faculty seeking assistance are strongly urged to keep a record of all correspondence and conversations on their case. It is advisable to write a summary of a conversation after each dialogue with administrators, department chairs, and /or campus committees.
