ARTICLE IV

AAUP MEMBERSHIP

Professional Dues Deduction
During the term of this Agreement, the University agrees to deduct monthly membership dues, proportionately each pay period, from the salaries due all members who individually and voluntarily give the University written authorization to do so on the "Authorization of Payroll Deduction of Membership Dues" supplied by the AAUP. The AAUP assumes the responsibility to obtain and deliver to the University said written authorization, or notices of revocation, except the University will have no obligation to deduct or remit the dues payable for the account of any faculty member whose dues deduction authorization form reaches the payroll department less than fifteen (15) calendar days before the semi‑monthly pay day for which dues are to be deducted. The AAUP shall transmit written notices of revocation to the University not more than thirty (30) days and not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of the current "Authorization of Payroll Deduction of Membership Dues" form. The University shall forward such dues for the previous month's salaries to the Treasurer of the AAUP, University of Delaware Chapter, at an address furnished, in writing, to the University by the AAUP on or before the tenth day of each month. The AAUP agrees to release and discharge the University of Delaware, its officers, agents, and employees from any and all liability whatsoever arising as a result of dues deductions. The AAUP assumes full responsibility for the disposition of monies so deducted once they have been remitted to the Treasurer of the AAUP as set forth above.
