The Fifty-Fifth Senate of Associate Students of Colorado State University (ASCSU) passed Bill 5514 on September 24, 2025: Supporting an American Association of University Professors Fort Collins Initiative. The passage of this bill is a demonstration of ASCSU’s commitment to support the work of the AAUP, and a commitment to raise student voices to fight for change on campus.
This legislation furthers the relationship that the AAUP and ASCSU have built up over the past year. After discussion within the Senate, Bill 5514 ultimately passed with no dissent, highlighting the ASCSU Senate’s support for this initiative. Upon passage of the Bill, several ASCSU members helped the AAUP table in the plaza, and there is a strong interest from the Senate to table with the AAUP again to protect academic freedom, freedom of speech and student services at CSU.
