The NCC Advocacy Chapter (NAAC) of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) was established to help to protect academic freedom and shared governance. The AAUP, founded in 1915, is the oldest higher education national professional organization representing all faculty. For the last century AAUP’s overarching goal has been to ensure higher education’s contribution to the common good. In addition, AAUP has secured many of the landmark policies and standards that have shaped our profession including academic freedom, shared governance and tenure.
