A Word from the CA-AAUP
Steering Committee
2018-2020 Steering Committee Members
President (2018-2010) Claudio Fogu University of California, Santa Barbara "I am proud to join the CA-AAUP steering committee at this juncture, because the battle for faculty rights, academic freedom, shared governance goes hand in hand with the battle for a fairer higher education system, which is also the battle for the heart and mind of this nation against the forces of bigotry and prejudice." 
Alex Zukas National University Vice President for Private Universities (2018-2020) Past President (2016 - 2018) Past Vice President for Private Universities (2014-2016) "With the corporatization of public universities and the rise of for-profit private colleges, I think the CA-AAUP has an important role to play not only in supporting the faculty at California’s private universities in their quest to gain and maintain shared governance, academic freedom, and tenure but in helping build links between faculty at public universities, private universities, and community colleges. Such links will strengthen faculty voices in the curricular and administrative choices facing all institutions of higher education in California and in the public discourse over the future of higher education in our state." |
Secretary/Treasurer (2018-2020, 2016-2018) Past (Acting) President (2013-2014) Past Vice President for California Community Colleges (2012-2013): Mary Ann Irwin Diablo Valley College "In 2012, I agreed to join the CA-AAUP Steering Committee as Vice President for Community Colleges because I know that California community colleges are the beating heart of California's system of higher education. Community colleges are the open door for everyone who wants to learn and grow and succeed, and they need our support, now more than ever." 
Vice President for California State Colleges & Universities (2016-2018) and Past President (2014 - 2016) Rosalinda Quintanar San Jose State University "It was a great honor to serve as the President of CA-AAUP. I have the firm conviction that working with the California AAUP is the best way to protect academic freedom and keep higher education as a common good that will benefit our students and our communities. Education is a very powerful tool to bring forth the free expression of ideas and analysis that will promote social justice. As members of the California Conference of the AAUP, we will work together to maintain a high quality learning environment in our Institutions of Higher Education." |
