President’s Newsletter – Winter 2021 – AAUP Louisiana Conference

Dear Colleagues,

The minutes of the January 30 meeting are up in this site under Minutes (tab to the left), and will be mailed out over the listserv. Our April 24 meeting will be virtual due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation. News of our resolution on higher education boards, and our letter to the University of Kansas administration is forthcoming, and we have committees working on COVID-19 as well as media/outreach strategies. Committee A has a case on the language of faculty handbooks, that will affect us all.

In Louisiana we have 249 members at this time, and a new chapter has formed at the University of Holy Cross. I am hoping we can increase membership this quarter, replacing anyone who retires or moves, and pushing beyond that 250 mark.

I wish you the best this semester, and hope to see you in the spring.

In solidarity,

LESLIE
Leslie Bary
2020-2022 President
