The Western Michigan University Chapter of the American Association of University Professors (WMU-AAUP) was established in 1950 to advocate for academic freedom, shared governance, and the promotion of higher education as a public good. With over 700 board-appointed faculty members, the organization actively champions the importance of educational quality and the welfare of its faculty in alignment with the mission of the AAUP, which dates back to 1915. Throughout its history, the WMU-AAUP has consistently addressed critical issues such as compensation, teaching loads, and faculty rights, reflecting the ongoing commitment to enhancing the academic environment for both faculty and students. As a collective-bargaining chapter aligned with the American Federation of Teachers, the WMU-AAUP continues to play a vital role in shaping higher education policies at Western Michigan University.
