An ad-hoc FAUW committee, including three research professor colleagues, met over a two-year period to understand the challenges that unrepresented research professors face and to discuss the potential pathways for FAUW to formally represent them. On the recommendation of this committee, the FAUW Board voted at its October 24, 2019 meeting to move forward with the process of seeking to represent research professors. The project was put on hold at FRC during the pandemic but FAUW is eager to resume working on this.
