Abstract

The article focuses in the organization Accuracy in Academia. The organization seeking to root out the dissemination of "disinformation or misinformation" by radical professors. The organization's first newsletter reported on an unidentified Midwestern professor whose lectures on Latin American history criticized U.S. policy in the region. The target of A.I.A.'s March newsletter, its third, was Linda Arnold, a historian at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. Although A.I.A. focused on Arnold as a result of a student complaint, the newsletter did not attack anything she said in class.
