Posting this to gather best practices in university searches for academic administrators (provosts, deans, etc).  Those of you who have practices that fulfill the AAUP guidelines, what do your search committees look like? What is the composition? How do they operate?

We are still beaming from the #AAUP2026 Higher Ed Summit & Biennial in Chicago where AAUP delegates from across the nation approved a package of critical proposals that will serve as a sweeping strategic blueprint for the AAUP to build structural power and go on the offensive against the political and economic threats to higher education we are facing in this moment. As a whole, this platform represents a unified offensive to reclaim higher ed from corporate & political control & build the necessary collective power to defend #academicfreedom & worker rights while recentering public education as a democratic good. The proposals commit the AAUP to: • Building a wall-to-wall organization—uniting faculty, staff, and student workers. • Fighting for a system that serves the public through free public higher education & debt-free pathways for students; dignity, security, & fair compensation for all higher ed workers; reinvestment in research; equity & sustained support for under-resourced campuses. • Acting in coalition w/ labor & social movements to defend civil liberties, resist political interference in education & research, & challenge the consolidation of authoritarian control. • Fighting for a multiracial, inclusive democracy, and advancing policies that expand access to healthcare, housing, education, & economic security. • Asserting that AI is a labor, governance, & public good issue—subject to collective bargaining, controlled through shared governance, & regulated to prevent de-skilling, displacement, surveillance, inequality, the unbundling of academic work, & the privatization and extraction of knowledge produced by academic workers & students. • Ending the crisis of contingency by building a higher ed workforce grounded in stability, equity, and respect. • Aligning our structure with our ambitions by investing in organizing infrastructure, developing leadership at every level, expanding resources, and enforcing systems of accountability. Higher education is a public good. We intend to fight for it. #AAUP #DefendHigherEd @aaup.wcu @vanderbiltaaup @uam_umd @stjohnsaaup @aauptns @aaup.penn @aaup_nc @yaleaaup @higheredlaborunited

College should not be exclusive to the 1%. It shouldn't burden working class families with life-long debt. And it shouldn't force working class families to delay starting their lives. Sign the petition linked in our bio to join our fight for affordable college.

Billionaire Secretary of Education Linda McMahon doesn’t want your children to have a good education. She doesn’t want students to have good jobs, living wages, or a path to a better life. Whether you’re a kindergartner or a sophomore in college, McMahon and the Trump administration want to make your school worse and your education more expensive. Why, you might ask? We tried to ask her directly at a local Massachusetts school. She decided to cancel her visit and leave the state. Tell Linda McMahon hands off our schools and sign the link in our bio.

NEW TODAY: in the New York Times: In the face of unprecedented authoritarian attacks on our sector, the AAUP is building a powerful and militant resistance movement in defense of American higher education, the freedom to learn, and our democracy. “Demand letters to universities, a compact which is nothing more than a loyalty oath, ideologically driven state houses that are ending tenure and collective-bargaining rights, ending academic freedom — and you’re going to tell me I should be neutral?” AAUP President Todd Wolfson said. “There’s no neutrality on a runaway train.” JOIN US!

Attention all University of Pennsylvania staff: Your unionized colleagues at the Penn Libraries and Penn Museum are sounding the alarm! University management is signaling to our unions a plan to reduce existing benefits like healthcare, retirement, and PTO that would impact ALL STAFF. Peers like Princeton have already done it. As unionized staff, we are protected from management unilaterally reducing our benefits, so we have advance notice and the ability to fight back. We intend to do so. Non-unionized staff and faculty have no such protections. If you are Penn staff and aren’t unionized, you can resist by: Supporting our fight (stay tuned...) Organizing with the Coalition of Workers at Penn (join the CWP at bit.ly/pennworkers)

Marc Rowan—a billionaire responsible for authoring the Trump admin’s devastating loyalty oath compacts—will step down from his advisory role at the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania in summer of 2026! In this clip from our recent AAUP TV episode, “Building a Broad Higher Ed Coalition,” AAUP President Todd Wolfson discusses the November 7th action at Rowan’s headquarters in New York City, where we protested his nefarious role in restricting academic freedom and making college unaffordable. This coalition included several higher ed unions and student organizations, including @psc_cuny, @thedebtcollective, @aaup.penn, @solidaritydept, @sunrisemvmt , @fordhamaaup , @nyuaaup , and more. In the afternoon of November 7th, immediately following our action, Penn announced that Rowan will step down from his advisory role at Wharton. This is a step in the right direction, and it shows what organized collective power can achieve! Let’s keep up the fight!

Marc Rowan is one of the architects behind Trump’s loyalty oath compact, which seeks to coerce universities to bend to the administration’s ideological agenda. Yet there are universities that have rejected the compact because of organized power from the higher education sector who refused to accept it! Together we can continue to transform the university into a better place for students and faculty!
