Every July the AAUP conducts a Summer Institute that trains faculty in advocacy strategies, financial analysis, media relations, and bargaining techniques. Scheduled by our Department of Organizing and Services, the institute also offers seminars on current issues in higher education. It is held on a different campus every year and seeks to empower new faculty leaders throughout the country.

But we also socialize, take boat trips, and enjoy ourselves. A highlight of the 2009 Summer Institute was a faculty band from Ohio performing original songs about the ironies of current academic life. Visit our web site to hear several of their songs: http://www.aaup.org/AAUP/newsroom/Highlights/AkronBoys.htm

Take It For A Spin

Widespread reports today indicate that House leaders intend to tack a mandatory statewide health care plan for school employees onto a bill headed for OK in the "lame duck" session. The health care provision apparently will surface as an amendment tacked on to the Ohio CORE bill to raise graduation requirements.
