Why Join NFA?
 A
strong NFA chapter of the American Association of University Professors helps ward off faculty workplace problems by establishing the visible
presence of a group known nearly a century for its diligence and vigilance. Nationally,
for more than 80 years, the AAUP has promoted and
protected faculty interests. Tenure, due process, academic freedom,
and shared college governance are higher education employee rights that have been kept alive and
strengthened by its activities. Although some AAUP affiliates have negotiated collective bargaining agreements with their colleges and universities, including the Truckee Meadows CC chapter of NFA, NFA/AAUP is not a labor union; it is an advocacy organization dedicated to promoting and preserving the integrity of
the faculty profession at NSHE institutions. In many respects, if you are a CSN faculty member, NFA is as vital to your professional
existence as is any professional discipline organization to its members.
Membership
in NFA puts you in consultation with colleagues at the national,
state, and local campus levels who can help you keep the
fairness, freedom, and safety rights you already have as a faculty member. Your membership tells
everyone that you care enough for your profession to stand up for its
rights and to stand with your colleagues to preserve those rights. Your elected leaders of your CSN Chapter of NFA are concerned
with those issues that are important to you. Please never hesitate to
call upon your chapter board or bring your concerns or suggestions to a monthly meeting. It’s our
combined efforts uniting in one voice that makes a beneficial difference for us all.
Being a member of NFA is not just the smart thing to do, it’s
the right thing to do.
