AAUP Strategic Plan
The Association's current strategic plan was accepted by the AAUP Board of Directors in late 2006 and distributed to the members of the Association in early 2007. The process of developing a new strategic plan for AAUP had begun in June 2005 under the leadership of then-President Lynne Withey, director of the University Press of California.
The AAUP strategic plan reconfirms the association's mission: to assist its members through professional education, cooperative services, and public advocacy. The association recognizes that the landscape in which this mission is conducted is changing dramatically. This new landscape includes new technologies that have brought change to every step of the publishing process, new partners—both academic and commercial—who are spearheading new experiments in scholarly communications, and shifting markets for the products of scholarly publishing.
