Dear Gary Rhoades, Greg Scholtz, Irwin Yellowitz, and Robert O'Neil, AAUP:
Below [not copied here] is re-confirmation, dated August 29, 2010, that Professor Artur Grabowski wishes AAUP to investigate the violation of his academic freedom by SUNY at Buffalo. His communication also re-affirms that Professor Grabowski wishes myself to represent him at AAUP.
As I have said, it should be a sterling case, what with Professor Grabowski already having tenure at his highly reputed university, FOUR American teaching awards as an adjunct to American universities including a Fulbright and three Kosciuszko's, a clear violation of his academic freedom implemented here on the specious claims of a single person (the Director of Polish Studies), and 'good' student evaluations at SUNY at Buffalo for his first-semester teaching! I will assist in any manner possible and am ready to answer any questions.
-----
The UUP Chapter Board at SUNY at Buffalo has been paying careful attention to the Professor Grabowski's case. Yesterday at its monthly meeting, it unanimously passed a resolution directed toward AAUP and calling for your investigation of Grabowski's case:
- "The UUP Chapter Board for the SUNY-Buffalo Center requests that AAUP very carefully investigate the violation of Professor Artur Grabowski's academic freedom by the State University of New York at Buffalo."
I know that UUP Delegates expect AAUP affiliation to help sustain, in practice, academic freedom at SUNY and each campus.
Thank you for your careful consideration.
Paul Zarembka
