The AAUP Foundation is excited to announce that it has been awarded a $150,000 three-year grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation to fund costs associated with fall meetings and reports for the AAUP’s standing Committee A on Academic Freedom and Tenure.

"My husband lost his academic job because of the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1953. You're unique in recognizing similar threats today," said donor Courtney B Cazden, Professor Emerita, Harvard University.
