Council of Academic Professionals
NAU employees help move the university forward
The Council of Academic Professionals consists of employees of NAU in the category of Academic Professional.
The purposes of CAP are to:
- address the professional interests and concerns of council members and be a collective voice for members on issues related to the conditions under which members practice their professions
- be the collegial body through which members participate as professionals in the shared governance of the university library
- provide for the participation of members in the shared governance of the university by the election of a Faculty Senate Representative, election to university committees as appropriate, and by recommending to the Dean and University Librarian representatives of the library to elected university committees, and in other appropriate ways
- provide for peer participation in personnel decisions related to its members, including appointment, retention, continuing status, promotion, salary adjustments, and related professional concerns
