Committee for Action Through Politics (CAP)
The Committee for Action through Politics is an independent body which helps APSCUF get its views across to political leaders in Harrisburg.
Chair: John Henry Steelman (John.Steelman@iup.edu, x7-4766)
Let’s Face Facts
- State-level decisions regarding the SSHE and IUP (your workplace) are political decisions
- Right or wrong, political influence has greater effect than the logic of our arguments
- Because the SSHE is a state agency its ability to wield political influence on its own behalf is severely limited by law
- Thus, the burden falls on the faculty. APSCUF is, and has been, the major voice for public higher education in our state
- An education-friendly legislature means electing the right candidates
Why Would We, the Faculty, NOT Help Ourselves
- Dedicate $25 of your already-paid union dues to political action. Join CAP today!
- It’s only $25 — that’s less than 7¢ a day
- Help influence the politics of higher education in Pennsylvania
- Fill out and send in your CAP rebate card. Feel good that you are bearing your share of the burden
- Help influence the election of legislators friendly to higher education
- CAP gives the SSHE faculty a “presence” in Harrisburg and around the state
