Council of University of California Faculty Associations

The Council of UC Faculty Associations (CUCFA) is the coordinating agency for the ten employee associations of University of California Senate faculty, with a current annual budget of approximately $300,000. CUCFA and its member faculty associations advocate for the rights of faculty in the workplace and for higher education as a public good. CUCFA regularly collaborates with other University of California unions and the Academic Senate to further these goals. CUCFA is a partner organization of AAUP (American Association of University Professors) and a member of Higher Education Labor United.

The organization is currently undergoing a transformation with new leadership and a shift in strategic direction from a service model to an organizing model. We aim to significantly increase the collective power of our chapters through deeper and more sustained faculty organizing and focused workplace campaigns.
