AAUP-CO Chapter Service Program

The Chapter Service Program has several components.

• The Colorado Conference allows a $300 seed money grant to newly established or reactivated chapters. Contact Co-Presidents Laura Connolly or Dean Saitta to apply.
• The Conference provides assistance and guidance is given to reactivated or newly established chapters. Contact Co-Presidents Laura Connolly or Dean Saitta.
• The Conference actively encourages chapters to recommend members for attendance at the Summer Institutes put on by the national organization. Partial registration and/or travel assistance money is given with the amounts dependent on the numbers attending. Contact Co-Presidents Laura Connolly or Dean Saitta to apply.
• After a favorable vote by the state Executive Committee and statewide membership, the Colorado Committee for the Protection of Faculty Rights (CPFR) was established recently. The CPFR will be the primary service provider to Colorado faculty at large, both to AAUP members and nonmembers. The CPFR will assist faculty in resolving conflicts with administrations. Under its detailed guidelines, each chapter will be asked to appoint a CPFR Committee Chair to fulfill its functions at their institution.
