The UConn AAUP Representative Assembly
Representing the individual and collective concerns of their constituents.
About the Representative Assembly
The Chapter maintains a Representatives Assembly to support the chapter across all units and departments.
Representatives support:
- Keeping their constituencies fully informed of AAUP activities and representing the individual and collective concerns of their constituents to the Representatives Assembly, the Executive Committee, and the staff.
- Serving as a point of contact for the grievance issues of their constituents.
- Forwarding concerns to the Executive Committee, the Contract Committee, and the staff on contract bargaining.
- Encouraging colleagues to actively participate in the activities of the AAUP and recruiting colleagues for service in the Chapter.
- Attending Chapter meetings and orientations for representatives.
The Representatives Assembly shall make recommendations to the Executive Committee regarding issues facing the union. The Assembly shall also review the recommendations of the Contract Committee regarding terms to be sought in the contract agreement, and shall assist in gathering the
data necessary to support such recommendations.
