What we do?
The National Association of Scholars is an independent membership association of academics working to foster academic freedom, and to sustain the tradition of reasoned scholarship and civil debate in America's colleges and universities. The Rhode Island chapter of NAS is comprised of educators, scholars, and policy analysts who regard the Western intellectual heritage as an indispensable foundation of American education and civic engagement. We are committed to defending intellectual diversity and to opposing all forms of political indoctrination and political "correctness" in education and public affairs.

"Understanding ideological and political conflicts in other countries can help enrich public policy debates in the United States" said Dr. Greco. "Learning from the successes and failures of public policy in other cultures can enlighten us as well. However, it is particularly disturbing how the ideology of "multiculturalism" often obstructs a genuine appreciation of the values of our Western cultural and intellectual tradition, and I look forward to defending those values as a contributing scholar with the Ocean State Policy Research Institute."
