Higher Education
Higher education organizing has been going full tilt this spring, swelling the ranks of AFT members and strengthening the union’s position as the largest faculty and staff union in the country.
Our Issues
Increasing public funding for higher education will ensure everyone has the opportunity to access affordable, high-quality higher education.
Our colleges and universities must be sites of robust debate, free expression, and the contest of ideas while ensuring a safe environment for all members of the campus community.
Improving job security, pay, and professional respect for all faculty and staff, with the goal of ending contingency of employment, will strengthen our campuses and communities.
The AFT is committed to combating the most recent extremist attacks that seek to reverse decades of progress.
Bringing experiential learning to all students can engage and empower them and make academic material more relevant.
Upcoming Events
The AFT convention is hereby called to convene at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas, on Monday, July 22, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. and will remain in session until such time as it has given full consideration to such matters as legally may be brought before it.
