The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) was organized on 1-2 January 1915 in New York, N.Y., to promote the advancement of the standards, ideals, and welfare of the faculty at institutions of higher education. The Association has been most active in the areas of academic freedom and tenure. Thirteen professors at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill organized a chapter of the AAUP in 1916. Records of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Chapter of the American Association of University Professors include committee minutes, committee reports, minutes of general and business meetings, chapter correspondence with national and regional AAUP officers, treasurers' records and reports, and files on the activities of the local chapter. Topics of particular concern to the chapter have been academic freedom and tenure, affirmative action, economic standing of the faculty, faculty welfare, mandatory retirement age, sexual harassment, status of women, and university government.
