AAUP Bucknell is an advocacy chapter of the American Association of University Professors composed of nearly 200 faculty and staff who are dedicated to promoting academic freedom and workplace democracy at Bucknell University. Regardless of membership, we serve all employees and we welcome your participation.
To fill a budget deficit created by years of their mismanagement, administration has announced austerity. Our coworkers are being fired, positions and whole offices are being eliminated, tenure is under attack. They are siloing information and seek to divide faculty, staff, and students even more. AAUP Bucknell is holding firm in defense of the university. Join the campaign to end austerity!
In 2025 a majority of faculty and staff called on the administration to address our stagnant real wages by providing a cost of living adjustment of CPI+5%. Our petition fell on deaf ears. This year, we are asking you our coworkers to take the pledge to support one another in telling the administration to Raise Wages! Protect Benefits! CPI+6% for all employees! Join your coworkers!
