AIA

With the approach of the new school year, Accuracy In Academia has named a new executive director.

"Because most students and their parents do not know what they are facing, we want to expose what is going on in classrooms and on campuses in the United States," AIA Executive Director Malcolm A. Kline recently said.

"Mal" Kline comes to AIA after two decades of experience as the editor of the National Journalism Center. At the NJC, Kline worked with students from across the country and around the world.

"From the stories they told me, I got an alarming picture of what undergraduates face on American campuses today," Kline said. Kline says that AIA's newspaper, The Campus Report, is going to do more in-depth coverage of course offerings in colleges and universities as well as controversies surrounding conservative student groups which attempt to bring speakers that reflect their views on campus.

"From college classes on interpretations of Shakespeare that do not actually involve reading the Bard to the attempts of college administrators and faculty members to disrupt talks by speakers who do not share their views, today's students find the pursuit of knowledge to be a frustrating one," Kline said.

Kline has written for Newsmax.com, The National Catholic Register, the Catholic News Service, and Insight magazine. Kline follows Dan Flynn author of Why the Left Hates America into the job.

"Not so incidentally, my predecessor is running into administrative roadblocks in college talks he gives on his book," Kline noted. Kline is the husband of the former Annie-Grace Saungweme, the father of Georgia, and the stepfather of a soon to be college-age stepson, Darryl."Like most parents, I want my children to finish school knowing more, not less," Kline said. A native Pennsylvanian, Kline now makes his home in Triangle, VA. His e-mail is mal.kline@academia.org
