Governmental Contact Information

The Michigan Conference of the AAUP encourages faculty members to support their colleagues and higher education in general. While the majority of faculty teaching occurs in the classroom, that knowledge should be shared in every way possible to increase the common good. Therefore, we have compiled a list of state and federal governmental contacts. It is our wish that this list be used to offer educated advice and support positive steps by those officials, not merely to condemn negative actions. Any correspondence reflects only the viewpoints of the authors and not that of the Michigan Conference of the AAUP.
