The AAUP is a professional organization dedicated to the interests of academic freedom and addressing issues commonly put before members of the college-level teaching profession. The organization maintains a national office in Washington, DC, with regional offices at the state level, and finally the individual chapter level.

The Georgia Highlands Chapter was established in 1977.  It is one of the few two-year schools that maintains a chapter of the AAUP.  Membership is represented on all of its campuses. For more information about joining, please contact Cindy Wheeler, GHC chapter president, cwheeler@highlands.edu.
