The National Association of Scholars (NAS) is an American non-profit organization which describes itself as "an independent membership association of academics working to foster intellectual freedom and to sustain the tradition of reasoned scholarship and civil debate in America’s colleges and universities."〔(Who We Are ), from the National Association of Scholars website.〕 The NAS is generally viewed as a politically conservative advocacy group,〔〔 although it rejects the label. ==History and organization==
Originally called the Campus Coalition for Democracy, the National Association of Scholars was founded in 1987 by Herbert London and Stephen Balch〔 with the goal of preserving the "Western intellectual heritage". Peter Wood is the president.〔( NAS Contact Us )〕 The advisory board of the NAS has included several notable conservatives, such as Jeane Kirkpatrick, a U.S. ambassador and adviser to Ronald Reagan. Chester Finn helped to form the conservative movement's education policies.〔 Irving Kristol, founder of the neoconservative movement, "characterized multiculturalism as 'a desperate strategy for coping with the educational deficiencies and associated social pathologies of young blacks.'"〔(Bob Campbell, Colorado Springs Independent, "State Education Commission Coming Under Fire," 24 May 2001 ) Accessed 04 June 2008.〕 According to the association, it has affiliates in 46 states, as well as in Guam and Canada.〔( NAS Affiliates )〕
