Indiana Chapter of the National Association of University Scholars

Mission of the IAS

The Indiana Association of Scholars (IAS) is the Indiana Chapter of the National Association of Scholars. We work at the state level to carry out the aims of the national organization by informing the academic and general public about regional trends in higher education, stimulating intelligent discussion of academic issues arising at institutions within the state of Indiana, and promoting constructive initiatives affecting curriculum and faculty development.

The IAS also organizes gatherings and other outreach programs designed to build scholarly networks and create a sense of academic fellowship among those in agreement with IAS goals. We assist student groups and publications addressing educational issues in a responsible manner and organize panels, conferences, and professional symposia on topics pertinent to its concerns
