WELCOME MESSAGE
Since its founding in 1915, the American Association of University Professors, has advocated for academic freedom and professional integrity on behalf of academic professionals across a broad range of America's institutions of higher education. Our chapter, CCC-AAUP, represents the full-time tenured and tenure track faculty at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, Ohio. We are affiliated with both National and State-level AAUP organizations.
In accordance with our chapter mission, “Representing the interests of our members with distinction as we advance our profession and share in the success of our students and institution,” we advocate for our students and colleagues through the process of shared governance in collaboration with the administrative leadership at our college.
We represent the collective interests of our faculty, as guided by the statement of faculty principles articulated in our collective bargaining agreement. We believe strongly that the advancement of our profession is a key factor in the success of our students and the overall success of our institution.
Our faculty members at each of the four Tri-C campuses elect a Vice President and Representative(s) every two years who serve as members of the CCC-AAUP Executive Committee. This body meets throughout each academic semester to discuss our advocacy of our members. We hold an annual chapter meeting for our membership and hold educational sessions each academic year to support our members seeking both tenure and professional improvement leave according to our contractual processes.
We are proud of the work we do on behalf of our students and colleagues through our stewardship of our shared governance practices.
