The AAUP at Purdue Fort Wayne

The higher education system in our nation is a creator of knowledge, guardian of democracy, and engine of economic growth. The American Association of University Professors was founded in 1915. Its mission is to define the values that keep higher education strong and to help the higher education community organize to defend those values.

The Purdue Fort Wayne Chapter of the AAUP was founded in 2016 to promote shared governance, academic freedom, and the well-being of all those engaged in research and teaching at our institution.
