UAKU PROPOSED CONSTITUTION
UAKU VICTORIES AND DUES INFO

We Are UAKU

We are United. We have worked together to craft a shared Statement of Purpose, signed by a growing majority of our colleagues. We are committed to KU at its best: a university that attracts scholars, staff, and students from all over the world. Our diversity is our strength. When we lose members of our community because they feel more welcome elsewhere, we lose more than valuable colleagues — we lose sight of our mission.

We are Academics. In our myriad roles on campus, we produce and support scholarly and creative work and guide our students down paths of inquiry and activity that enrich their lives and the communities they go home to. Our work is a valuable and vital public good.

We are KU. A university is its people. Students’ time here is designed to be limited. Administrators, too, come and go. Alongside dedicated staff, we sustain the University and fulfill its academic mission. It is our research, our teaching, and our service that earn KU its R1 status and maintain its AAU designation. We are proud of this place and our role in it.

We’ve chosen our name with care and intention: to reflect our unity, to demonstrate our understanding of the wide range of academic positions on campus, and to advocate for job security for all of us.
