The survey will accept responses until Friday, September 4, at 5 p.m. Eastern. From there the survey organizers will release its results through media and other platforms. Those conducting the survey will maintain control of the results database. We may share overall results and the full database of answers with higher education administrations, faculty, and the media. No information about your personal identity is being collected. All questions are optional, but please answer as many as you feel comfortable with.

One of the questions this year is about accreditation. The AAUP will be hosting a webinar on September 14 at 7 p.m. to update faculty about the current status of the new accreditation body started by the University System of Georgia and the efforts by the AAUP to organize against it. More information will be sent out at a later date.

The Georgia AAUP website has survey results from previous years.

Matthew Boedy is the president of the Georgia AAUP.
