About

The Gallaudet University chapter of the American Association of University Professors advocates for academic freedom, shared governance, and economic security for all GU faculty. We believe that a strong faculty means a strong university, where our students are best served and the The Gallaudet Promise is fulfilled.

We host monthly meetings, write open letters, and work with UF Governance and faculty groups in our advocacy efforts. We also provide advice and support for individual faculty members who are having contract issues, undergoing salary or workload negotiations, are facing harassment, or need representation at high-stakes meetings with administrators.

#AcademicsNotAdmin

The Gallaudet AAUP cares deeply about Gallaudet and its future. Gallaudet’s faculty ranks have been debilitated by 14 years of flat wages, reducing our uniquely-qualified, bilingual, and majority Deaf faculty to the lowest-paid faculty in Washington, DC . . . To honor Gallaudet’s mission, vision, and The Gallaudet Promise, the Gallaudet AAUP asks the university to prioritize faculty compensation that is equitable for Washington, DC and keeps up with inflation. We ask that Gallaudet be transparent and accountable with its finances and that it direct resources away from enriching the administration and toward academics and the student experience.
