Illinois AAUP Speakers Bureau

The Illinois AAUP encourages chapters to invite speakers to discuss and debate issues about higher education that concern them. Illinois AAUP speakers are generally available free of charge to AAUP chapters, and the Illinois AAUP can sometimes cover additional expenses, but we encourage chapters to co-sponsor events with campus departments and student organizations in order to reach a broader audience and fund these events. We are accepting proposals from experienced AAUP members who wish to serve on this speakers bureau.

Please email info@ilaaup.org if you are interested in hosting any of these speakers:

• Michael Harkins, Illinois AAUP president: Shared Governance and Due Process
• Stephen Macek, Illinois AAUP vice-president, North Central College: Academic Freedom and Tenure
• Diana Vallera, Illinois AAUP secretary, Columbia College: Contingent Faculty, and Collective Bargaining
• Jacqueline Battalora, St. Xavier University: AAUP Principles
• Ribhi Salhi: Politics and Higher Education
• John K. Wilson: History of Academic Freedom, and Institutional Neutrality
