The following list of sections should serve as a loose guideline for developing the body of your article. The works cited in references 2-5 are all fake; their purpose is to serve as a formatting model for your own citations.
History
Founding
The American Association of University Professors was founded in 1900 due to the decision of Mrs. Leland Stanford to fire economist Edward Ross. Ross’s opinion on immigrant labor and railroad monopolies did not sit well with the co-founder of Stanford University (AAUP.org). After the incident, Arthur O. Lovejoy and John Dewey organized a meeting in 1915 to form an organization to guarantee academic freedom for faculty members, which gave birth to the AAUP (AAUP.org).
Current objectives and activities

AAUP supports increased sate revenue to maintain suitable funding for higher education. Supports state aid to students attending public colleges and universities. AAUP supports many different aspects of public employees dealing with labor laws and women and minorities (Michigan Conference of the AAUP).
