Former Senior Fellow Elected President
From the CU Silver and Gold Record, “PROFESSOR EMERITUS CHARLES King of Spanish and Portuguese at CU-Boulder was elected president of the Colorado Association of Scholars, the local chapter of the National Association of Scholars (NAS), at a meeting on the Boulder campus April 13.”
For those unfamiliar with the NAS, the Silver and Gold Record goes on, “The NAS, which has more than 3,000 members, opposes the intellectual dilution of the curriculum, political correctness and favoring ethnic and gender diversity over individual and intellectual merit. The NAS has been involved in recent efforts to strengthen Western civilization studies at universities, and it has worked to overturn the use of racial and ethnic quotas in admissions policies and hiring. The association also worked to persuade the National Council on Teacher Accreditation to drop “social justice” as one of its criteria for accrediting teacher training programs at schools of education, according to materials provided by King.”
Congratulations Charles, we are all very proud of you!
