#GivingTuesday
Dear Friend,
Happy Giving Tuesday! Thank you for all you’ve done to make 2019 one of our best years ever!
Thanks, in no small way, to the generous support of our members, the National Association of Scholars has continued to uphold the standards of a liberal arts education by promoting academic freedom and the pursuit of truth through our journal, Academic Questions ([link removed][UNIQID]) ; online publications ([link removed][UNIQID]) ; conferences and events ([link removed][UNIQID]) ; and action at the local, state, and federal levels.
What have we been up to? Here’s a quick glance of 2019:
* This Spring we geared up to launch Neo-Segregation at Yale ([link removed][UNIQID]) a report that dives into the Academy’s drive to segregate students by race from housing and clubs to orientation and graduation.
* Our work to reverse Title IX overreach continues its long march leading to President Trump’s signing ([link removed][UNIQID]) of two Executive Orders ([link removed][UNIQID]) significantly curbing administrative decrees. We’ve also hired Teresa R. Manning ([link removed][UNIQID]) to lead a project documenting the implementation of Title IX and offering a path forward to better protect students from sexual assault and egregious violations of due process ([link removed][UNIQID]) .
* Confucius Institutes continue to drop like flies. Since we started documenting the number of CIs operating on campuses, 28 have closed—10 in the last year alone ([link removed][UNIQID]) .
* In January, NAS held its first conference, “Disgrace: Shame, Punishment, and Redemption in American Higher Education ([link removed][UNIQID]) ,” where members and scholars discussed disgrace as a political tactic (cancel culture) and the appropriate disgrace that falls on colleges and universities that countenance such tactics.
We have even more to look forward to as the year (and decade!) comes to an end!
2020 promises even more reports, events, administrative rollback, CI closures, and the necessary fights to defend academic freedom and promote the pursuit of truth. We cannot do this without your support. Will you help us?
If you're even thinking of answering “Yes,” then please consider supporting NAS ([link removed][UNIQID]) with a tax-deductible contribution today!
