Meeting with President Tuminez
In February, Chapter President David Knowlton and I, Vice President, were fortunate to meet with our new University President. We talked for about an hour, touching on various issues related to our work on academic freedom, due process, and shared governance at UVU. In advance of the meeting, we sent President Tuminez the following description of our activities: 31 January 2019 A Brief Introduction to the Activities of our Chapter Before there was an organized chapter of the AAUP at UVSC, the college (as do most US colleges and universities) drew on AAUP statements and recommendations ( https://www.aaup.org ) for policies like this one on faculty tenure: https://policy.uvu.edu/getDisplayFile/588a60b23543020f057db59b and this one on Faculty Rights and Professional Responsibilities: https://policy.uvu.edu/getDisplayFile/563a40bc65db23201153c27d . As members of the UVU Chapter, we focus on three issues: shared governance, academic freedom, and due process.
