Hello colleagues, The AAUP has published a revised version of the 1973 joint Statement on Faculty Status of College and University Librarians. The statement-originally formulated by the AAUP, the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), and the Association of American Colleges (now the Association of American Colleges and Universities)-calls for the granting of faculty status to librarians involved in teaching and research. The new version of the statement adds language about the teaching and information-access roles of librarians and the role of librarians in university governance and outreach, and it reaffirms their need for academic freedom and tenure. Also added to the statement is a recommendation for salary adjustments for fiscal-year appointments. http://www.infodocket.com/2013/01/11/academe-aaup-published-revised-statement-on-faculty-status-for-librarians/ I am attaching the full statement to this email.
