Dr. Jane Buck, who spent almost her entire career teaching psychology at Delaware State University, the only historically Black college in Delaware, is the outgoing president of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). Having grown up in a family of civil rights activists in Reading, Pennsylvania, it seems appropriate that Buck concluded her presidency with a show of civic disobedience: In April 2006, she and incoming AAUP President Cary Nelson, a professor of English at the University of Illinois, were arrested after demonstrating in support of striking graduate assistants at New York University. In this interview, Buck reflects on her teaching career and on leaving the office she has held for six years.
