> Hi Vince...what is AAUP?

Maggie -
AAUP is American Association of University Professors. So it's not exactly
available to everyone. But I think the point is that there are
opportunities to purchase professional liability insurance through various
organizations. The National Education Association offers reasonably priced
professional liability insurance for educators.
