Caucus Meetings & Socials
Some caucuses are social, some are working groups. All are important for building community.
Working Families Caucus
The Working Families Caucus formed in response to concerns about the University of Oregon’s family and parental leave policies, as well as other concerns of working family members, like caregiving. Email Lynn Fujiwara at fujiwara@uauoregon.org if you are interested in joining the Working Families Caucus.

Faculty of Color Caucus
The caucus understands its constituency expansively. It is a forum for faculty who care about issues of equity, inclusion, and diversity in the workplace and off campus. Email Lynn Fujiwara at fujiwara@uauoregon.org if you are interested in joining the Faculty of Color Caucus.
Committees
Standing Committees meet regularly and are always looking for new members. If you are a UA member interested in serving on a committee, email us.
