Association of University of Wisconsin Faculties. Eau Claire (Wis.) Chapter.

The Association of University of Wisconsin Faculties (TAUWF) exists to promote the general educational welfare of University of Wisconsin System universities and to promote the economic welfare of their faculty. The organization was founded in the 1920s as the Association of Wisconsin Normal School Teachers, and gradually transformed into a labor union for faculty and academic staff. TAUWF represents faculty and academic staff members employed by all the University of Wisconsin System campuses except Madison. The Eau Claire chapter records date back to 1963, although the chapter appears not to have had a formal constitution until 1966. The local chapter addressed faculty concerns about tenure and promotion, faculty and staff salaries, and representation in university and UW System governance.
