Good morning TAUP members,

Thank you for your continued commitment to higher education. You have admirably navigated through another incredible semester. Many transitioned back to work on campus during uncertain times.

I want to especially thank Leanne Finnigan for her service during these extraordinary times. Leanne’s resignation from the organization requires that we find a new Vice President of Operations at TAUP. 

For nearly two years, Leanne committed countless hours of service to the union. Following the birth of her daughter, Leanne returned to work in the library determined to fight for better parental leave and childcare benefits for all Temple workers.

Leanne served on the TAUP/Faculty Senate Childcare Committee and the 2019 contract negotiating team.

Temple Professor Danielle Scherer has temporarily stepped up to fill Leanne’s shoes as Vice President of Operations until we can schedule an election for Leanne’s post. 

Danielle is a professor of political science and the assistant director of global studies here at Temple.

Please contact us, if you – or someone you know – would be interested in a leadership position at TAUP.  The union has future contract talks with the administration. Negotiations will impact the lives of thousands of workers and their families here at Temple. We need your help to make that happen.  

Sincerely,

Will Jordan
TAUP President
