Remembering David Gruber …
We are so happy that we were able to enjoy
these AAUP award ceremonies honoring David Gruber in spring 2005. He died on August 3,
2005, and we miss him very much.

present the Tacey Award to David Gruber, professor of philosophy (center).
David Gruber,
professor of philosophy, received the Tacey Award from the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) May 9 in the SUB
Spanish Room. Tom Guild, chair of the Assembly of State Conferences of AAUP
presented the award to Gruber. The Tacey Award is presented to an individual for
outstanding service to a conference during a number of years. Conferences
nominate individuals and the executive committee of the Assembly of State
Conferences decides who should receive the award. If the committee decides a
nominated individual should receive the award for that year, only one award is
given nationwide. More information…
In recognition of the outstanding leadership of David F. Gruber

Association of University Professors (AAUP) established the David F. Gruber
Leadership Development Award. On March 23, 2005, President Dixon
presented Gruber with the Missouri Conference’s plaque, which commemorates the
naming of this award in his honor. More information…
