Haha! Good catch. I thought it was from the National Academy of Sciences.
National Association of Scholars appears to be very partisan, right up there with the Heritage Foundation, and guess what? They can pick the speck out of their colleagues' eyes... but I suspect they have logs in their own....
"The California Association of Scholars, a division of the National Association of Scholars, have just released an incendiary report showing that all nine of the University of California’s campuses have been compromised by too many politicized courses and radical faculty members. CAS members include a number of current or past professors from the UC system..."
Findings include a sharp rise in faculty who identify as radicals; a number of whom are openly avowed Marxists. Political activism, which is not supposed to be allowed, is promoted. And very disturbing is the dumbing down with regard to the actual academics which was once so highly regarded at these schools especially with regard to history. "Several departments attempt to erase the study of Western tradition. History majors are now not required to take a survey course in Western civilization on any of the nine University of California campuses. Four more UC campuses have dropped their American History requirements (many UC students cannot even answer basic questions about American or World History)."
"Suppression of free speech is commonplace. Speakers at UC Berkeley who have been shouted down by protesters include Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Secretary of State Madeline Albright, and Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Conner..."

The National Association of Scholars is an independent membership association of academics and others working to foster intellectual freedom and to sustain the tradition of reasoned scholarship and civil debate in America’s colleges and universities. The NAS advocates for excellence by encouraging commitment to high intellectual standards, individual merit, institutional integrity, good governance, and sound public policy.
The NAS has no political affiliation. As NAS President Peter Wood has written: "Both the Left and the Right produce their share of intellectual obtuseness. The NAS is not a partner with either.
