The New Paltz Chapter of the United University
Professions (UUP) represents the interests and concerns of all academic
and professional staff, full- and part-time, at the State University of
New York, New Paltz campus. Officers and Delegates to the three annual
Delegate Assemblies are volunteers, elected for terms of two-years by a
vote of the membership at the SUNY: New Paltz campus. New Paltz is one
of twenty-nine Chapters that represent the various campus types within
the State University of New York. As a Liberal Arts College, New Paltz
joins with other campus types—Graduate Centers, University
Colleges of Technology, Health Science Centers, Environmental Science
and Forestry, and Empire State College. UUP statewide represents 35,000
academics and professionals across New York State.
At New Paltz, the Executive Committee, made up of
the elected Officers, Delegates/Alternate Delegates, and UUP Chairs of
on-campus standing committees, meets regularly during the academic
year. The schedule of Executive Committee meetings and a calendar of
meetings of UUP- and joint-UUP/SUNY: New Paltz committees are available
elsewhere on this webpage. You will find names, campus phone numbers,
and email addresses of UUP leaders at New Paltz.
As a higher education union in New York State, UUP
negotiates terms and conditions for academic and professional staff
with the Governor’s Office of Employee Relations (GOER), creating
a contractual agreement statewide. The Chapter Leadership at each
campus monitors the implementation of the contract locally, and meets
with College Administrators at least monthly to clarify ambiguities in
contractual language. On some occasions, UUP initiates grievance
procedures on behalf of a member to correct procedural errors in the
application of campus rules that affect the member adversely.
