The Association of Academic Professionals is a group of academic professional employees at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and is attempting to organize for the purpose of collective bargaining. The AAP is affiliated with the Illinois Education Association and the National Education Association. We are part of a national movement of academic professionals who seek collective bargaining rights.

In order to maintain and improve on the benefits of working at this great university, we believe that we need to organize so that our voice commands attention when administrators make decisions that affect our jobs.

The AAP seeks to ensure certain rights such as:

  • clear paths for career development and advancement
  • third-party resolution of disputes with supervisors
  • fair, timely, and consistent evaluation procedures
  • safeguards against arbitrary dismissal
  • rewards for good job performance
  • compensation for mandatory overtime
  • paid and unpaid leaves
  • a meaningful voice in decisions that affect our employment
