Acsup Information

The Association of California State University Professors, ACSUP, has provided over 70 years of service to the members of the State University system. It is an educational and communication network where faculty can learn about and discuss administrative, legal and political developments affecting education and educational policies in the California State University system. ACSUP provides a forum for faculty to express opinions on educational topics such as the joint doctorate or the current proposed revisions of the state Master Plan. Our positions on educational policy are communicated to the Chancellor's office, the Statewide Academic Senate, the Trustees and members of the State Legislature. ACSUP is the only faculty organization recognized by HEERA (Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act) as a bona fide association. As such, we may not be concerned directly with issues of wages and employee monetary benefits, but are able to concentrate our energies and attention to educational policies and the attainment of quality education for the citizens of our state. Through our publication, The Voice, distributed free to all members of the campus community, we attempt to help keep you abreast of current events affecting the educational policies of the State University system. We hold an annual statewide conference at which time delegates from the campus chapters assemble to discuss their opinions, exchange information and formulate positions on educational matters. Our statewide conferences present an excellent opportunity for members to become acquainted with many of the educational issues we face and to report back to their local chapters on these issues. We also sponsor Academic Conferences focusing on specific topics relevant to the concerns of CSU faculty.
