MAAC sebelum ini bergerak atas landasan Majlis Persatuan Akademik Malaysia yang telah didaftarkan dengan Pendaftar Pertubuhan dan ditukar kepada Kongres pada 2015 bagi meluaskan lagi matlamat dan fungsi MAAC. - See more at: http://www.utusan.com.my/berita/nasional/maac-payung-kepada-kesatuan-kakitangan-akademik-ipta-1.207559#sthash.lfrGQJWC.dpuf. Another NGO for academic staff. BUT the university still strong and university's leaders are reported unfair in promoting their staff. Some board do not understand about the direction of their university. So MAAC is important to balance all the issues.
