Welcome to the Faculty Union at the San Francisco Art Institute,
a Chapter of the American Association of University Professors

 

. . . As a national organization which has historically played a major role in formulating and implementing the principles that govern relationships in academic life, the Association promotes collective bargaining to reinforce the best features of higher education. The principles of academic freedom and tenure, fair procedures, faculty participation in governance, and the primary responsibility of the faculty for determining academic policy will thereby be secured. Moreover, collective bargaining gives the faculty an effective voice in decisions which vitally affect its members' professional well-being, such as the allocation of financial resources and determination of faculty salaries and benefits. . . .

(From the AAUP's 1973 "Statement on Collective Bargaining" as revised in 1984.)
