Some members of the Progressive U Alumni Association serve as moderators on Progressive U. Membership to the Progressive U Alumni Association is by invitation only. To receive an invitation to join the Association, you must be recommended by a current member and/or be in the top 1% as far as number of posts and comments. Association members must also have a clean recent record on the site, which mean no one who's spammed other users, violated the Terms of Service, or had valid complaints made about them during the past contest.
In addition, any person that is listed as being a member of the Alumni Association's Faculty is ineligible for the Blogging for Progress scholarships. There is a separate incentives program for Faculty members.
The Alumni Association Faculty is divided into several teams. Each of the teams has its own forum at the bottom of the forum page, where comments should be directed.
The teams have the following responsibilities:
Editorial Team: Reviews and promotes posts, explains good blogging and journalism practices, provides guidelines for rating posts and making the most out of your writing, etc.
