AFT Higher Education Community
About AFT Higher Education
The AFT represents approximately 400,000 academic workers (full-time and part-time faculty, academic professionals and graduate employees) at public and private colleges and universities in all 50 states. With more than 400 affiliates across the United States, we are the largest and fastest growing higher education union in the country.
Real Solutions for Higher Education: Through the work of the Real Solutions for Higher Education campaign, the AFT and our affiliates engage in focused, visible and meaningful organizing to reclaim higher education as a public good by:
- Fighting for increased investment in higher education.
- Defending campus free speech and academic freedom.
- Improving job security and ending contingent employment for academic workers.
