In response to the erosion of shared governance at the University of Michigan, nationwide challenges to academic freedom, and concerns about UM’s COVID-related policies, the UM Ann Arbor chapter of the AAUP was revived on August 23, 2021, with members voting in a new set of bylaws and officers.
(For UM AAUP members: The new bylaws are based on the AAUP‘s basic template.)
The elected officers are…
- President: Kentaro Toyama, W. K. Kellogg Professor of Community Information at the School of Information and current SACUA member.
- Vice President: June M. Howard, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of English, American Culture, and Women’s and Gender Studies, LSA.
- Secretary: Valerie Traub, Adrienne Rich Distinguished University Professor of English and Women’s and Gender Studies, LSA.
