CUPA-HR Policies and Disclaimers

CUPA-HR Content and Communications Policy

CUPA-HR is higher ed HR. We serve higher education by providing knowledge, resources, advocacy and connections essential to achieving organizational and workforce excellence.

As the association for HR professionals in higher education, CUPA-HR provides leadership on higher education workplace issues. We monitor trends, explore emerging workforce issues, conduct research and promote strategic discussions among colleges and universities. As a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, we are committed to providing unbiased support and resources to educate members and enhance their ability to facilitate appropriate decision-making within their colleges and universities.

To achieve our mission, CUPA-HR partners with other higher education and HR management associations to advocate on federal legislative and regulatory issues that impact the higher ed workplace.

CUPA-HR promotes fair and open competition among higher education organizations and discourages discussions or agreements that could be anticompetitive.

CUPA-HR does not offer legal advice or counsel in any of its communications, meetings or activities. Decisions impacting the college or university should always be made with guidance from the institution’s legal counsel.
