Get Involved with UA!

There are lots of ways to get involved with UA! Below are just a few ways that you could help UA to protect academic quality at UVM.

  • Join UA. Joining United Academics is easy. Click here to find out how.

  • Join us at the Spring Members Meeting. Wednesday April 9th from 2:30-4:30pm in Old Mill's John Dewey Lounge. The Negotiating Team will be there, talking with us about the status and progress of negotiations and what we can do next to support our faculty negotiating team and proposals to safeguard and advance conditions for excellent teaching, research, and service at UVM. We'll see you there!

  • Join the Student Outreach Group. UVM is fortunate to have a student body that is committed to social justice at home and abroad. Many students are already committed to helping UA protect academic quality -- they realize it affects not only their faculty, but their academic experience! Contact for more information about the ways UA is working to help student groups across the campus fight for the quality experience they want and deserve.

  • Help the Negotiating Team Get Up-to-the-Minute Information. The Negotiating Team is always looking for input. In the next few weeks the Team will ask all of us to take a few minutes to answer two surveys: one on reappointment, tenure, and promotion (RPT), and one that will help us to show the administration what our work-week really looks like. Keep an eye out for an e-mail from UA Communications announcing these important surveys.

  • Negotiations Proposals -- Do You Have An Opinion? If you would like to see any of the proposals of either UA or the administration, contact , UA's lead negotiator. Feedback on any of the proposals is always welcome, and should be directed to Ross as well.

  • Talk to Your Colleagues About Their Concerns. UA and the faculty Negotiating Team need to hear from you and your colleagues about what issues and working conditions are most troubling or satisfying to you. E-mail the with your thoughts.

  • Become a Department Representative. Department Representatives are an important link between the UA Executive Council, Delegates Assembly, and our members. Check our Department Representatives list to see if your department has a representative.
