Adrienne Anderson Case
This statement by the CU Chapter of the
American Association of University Professors is a formal request that
the national AAUP investigate the termination of Adrienne Anderson, an
eleven-year non-tenured Instructor at the University of Colorado at Boulder
. We believe that Ms. Anderson should be reinstated to her former
post, and promoted to Senior Instructor, as she was being reviewed for
at the time of the abrupt and improper cancellation of all of her course,
and be granted tenure, which is allowable for instructors who bring unusual
skills and demonstrate excellence in teaching, as Ms. Anderson has.
Further, are requesting the AAUP to investigate whether academic freedom,
due process, and the free exchange of ideas at the University are being
implemented within a framework of shared governance and mutual accountability.
We believe that they are not,, as is amply demonstrated in the Anderson
case. Read more >>

National Projects
Committee A
Promotes principles of academic freedom, tenure, and due process in higher education through the development of policy documents and reports relating to these subjects and the application of those principles to particular situations that are brought to its attention. The staff is authorized to receive, on behalf of the committee, complaints of departures from these standards and, where appropriate, to undertake formal investigations. Such investigations may lead to a recommendation from the committee to the Association’s national council and annual meeting that the administration of an institution be censured for failure to adhere to the principles of academic freedom and tenure as endorsed by the AAUP and hundreds of other professional and educational organizations. Read Committee A reports or investigative reports.
