Membership
Who is eligible?
Membership in the chapter is open to all full-time faculty who are members of the Bargaining Unit. Today, more than half of UD's faculty are members of the AAUP.
If you are not a member, the time has come to support the organization that supports you. The more members we have, the greater our bargaining power.
Why join?
The AAUP has enhanced the value of its membership by sponsoring a variety of additional services.
Membership Benefits include:
- Catastrophic Medical Expense Plan
- Group Hospital Income Plan
- Professional Liability Insurance
- Accident Insurance
- Disability Insurance
How much are dues?
Faculty who join the UD-AAUP pay no dues until September 15 of the year following their enrollment. Just as a matter of information, if you were paying dues in 2009-10, the cost would be $12.92 per paycheck, the lowest dues of any comparable AAUP chapter.
See the breakdown of dues per paycheck in the table below:
| Classification | Existing Member | New Member |
|---|---|---|
| Tenured or member 4+ years | $12.92 | $12.92 |
| Non-tenured, member 1-4 years | $12.92 | $12.92 |
