AAUP National offers Grant Funds for CBC Chapters

To better support AAUP chapters in their work, the AAUP Council has approved two new grant funds that will provide resources to chapters pursuing key pieces of litigation and organizing their members.

Collective Bargaining Chapter Litigation Fund

This fund provides grants to AAUP collective bargaining chapters to support legal cases of importance to the broader higher education community or that may have significant precedential value for other AAUP chapters.

Collective Bargaining Chapter Mobilization Fund

The purpose of this fund is to provide grants to AAUP collective bargaining chapters to support new member organizing drives and other member mobilization activities such as contract campaigns or issues campaigns.
