'''Accuracy in Academia''' (AIA) is an American non-profit organization, which monitors and targets what it claims is liberal or communist “indoctrination,” on campus and and defends the 'rights' of politically conservative students and staff.<ref>Aby, Stephen H. 2007. The academic bill of rights debate: a handbook. Greenwood Publishing Group, ISBN 0-275-99244-6</ref> It says it “wants schools [i.e., [[colleges]] and [[universities]] in the United States] to return to their traditional mission-the quest for truth.”<ref>http://www.academia.org/about-aia/</ref> <ref>Hunter, James Davison, Culture Wars: The Struggle to Define America, New York: Basic Books, 1992 ISBN 0-465-01534-4</ref>

The [[American Association of University Professors]]<ref>Benjamin, Ernst, et al. 1985. On "Accuracy in Academia" and Academic Freedom. Academe, v71 n5 p1a Sep-Oct 1985.</ref> has claimed that the AIA is a threat to academic freedom due to the group’s efforts to recruit students to report professors alleged to “disseminate [[misinformation]].”

The AIA was founded in 1985 by columnist and former Federal Reserve economist [[Reed Irvine]] as an outgrowth of [[Accuracy in Media]]. It is run by executive director [[Daniel J. Flynn]], the author of the book ''Why the Left Hates America''.
