The GWU Faculty Association
Welcome to the website of the GWU Faculty Association, an independent voice for faculty concerned about the university. Use this site as a resource for the news you need about the changes affecting us all. Membership in GWUFA is open to all full-time faculty at the university, where 1 in 4 are already members. Membership is free, but it gives you the benefit of our newsletter, action updates, and a community of fellow faculty who care about GWU’s future. Click below to join us!
GWUFA works in solidarity with SEIU Local 500 Part-time Faculty Union, the GWU Staff Association, and the Progressive Student Union.

Who We Are
We are full-time faculty from across the university, working in conjunction with GWU staff, part-time faculty, alumni, graduate students, and undergraduates who care about the future of our university.

What We Do
We fight for shared governance, which is the basic premise that the university is not just administrators — it is all of us.

Why We Organize
We care about GWU. We care about excellence in research and teaching. We want an intellectually vibrant research university AND more equitable environment for everyone.
About Us
We are a community of members, with an elected Steering Committee. Our leadership in 2019-20 is listed here.
