Thanks to all who attended the chapter meeting on Tuesday, April 28, 2026! Minutes will be sent to all members in advance of the next chapter meeting in September 2026 – EXACT DAY & TIME TO BE ANNOUNCED – please contact us in the meantime with questions, suggestions, concerns, etc.

Our PRIORITIES AND PROMISES petition was submitted to the President of Sarah Lawrence College on April 22, 2026 with the following statement: On October 28, 2025, SLC AAUP convened a faculty forum to discuss the financial and budget crisis announced to faculty and staff on October 7.  Early in this spring semester, we launched the Priorities and Promises campaign, based on subsequent discussions in meetings of faculty groups, standing committees and the SLC AAUP chapter.  We submit here the Priorities and Promises Petition and ask that you present it to the Board of Trustees.  Background information accompanies the petition to further illuminate its importance as you finalize budget plans for the coming year.
