About the AAUP awards at the UW:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Beginning 2013, the UW Chapter of AAUP began its award program, recognizing outstanding contributions of UW faculty members and others to the mission of AAUP.\u00a0The AAUP\u00a0 awards include the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Academic Freedom<\/li>\n
  2. Excellence in shared governance<\/li>\n
  3. Leadership<\/li>\n
  4. Defender of higher education<\/li>\n
  5. Courage in pursuit of social justice<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The\u00a0Academic Freedom <\/strong>award is given to the faculty member who should be recognized for an outstanding contribution to academic freedom, preferably during the preceding year. This person may have demonstrated an effective use<\/em> of academic freedom, or may have defended the academic freedom of others\u2014perhaps in a particular case, or in terms of developing policy or mechanisms that protect academic freedom.<\/p>\n

    The\u00a0Excellence in Shared Governance<\/strong> award is intended to recognize the outstanding person who has promoted shared governance in an important way. The commitment to shared governance would be reflected the ability of the candidate to work with multiple constituencies (please provide supporting evidence or examples), the capacity to bring about effective change, and the ability to communicate to multiple constituencies about the importance of shared governance.<\/p>\n

    The\u00a0Leadership <\/strong>award is intended to reward outstanding contributions in chapter leadership that advance the mission of the organization, or the capacity to carry out that mission.<\/p>\n

    The Defender of Higher Education <\/strong>award is intended to honor outstanding work to defend public higher education from erosion, either of funding or mission. This would likely be a person external to the UW who serves in the legislative or other policy making arenas where higher education policy is made.<\/p>\n

    The Courage in Pursuit of Social Justice<\/strong> award is not necessarily given every year, but when appropriate we will confer this award on the person who stood up for truth, justice and fairness in defense of principle even at some risk to career.<\/p>\n
