letter from the cap chair
Dear members of the campus community:
Welcome to the website of the Council of Academic Professionals. CAP is an elected body of 22 academic professionals, two each from 11 districts, which was created by the Chancellor and facilitates a dialogue between APs and campus administration. CAP also hears grievances associated with termination procedures.
There are many opportunities for academic professionals to participate in the shared governance of the campus. Membership on CAP is just one way. During the course of the year we will communicate openings for APs on various campus-wide committees and I encourage you to consider participation.
The challenges facing the University are many and it is particularly important that the concerns of and, more importantly, ideas from APs be a part of the conversation. Feel free to contact your unit’s CAP representative with your thoughts. CAP meetings are open to all APs and are held on the first Thursday of every month at various campus locations. Meeting details are included in a monthly newsletter and are also posted on this website.
As you know, APs play a vital role in this institution and in the community. It is our goal that those contributions be recognized and that the issues of importance to APs receive a proper hearing.
Thanks for all that you do and we look forward to hearing from you.
Rick Atterberry, Chair
