The following video shows NAS chairman Steve Balch speaking about freedom in higher education. He considers what it means to be a "rational animal," and says, "If there is one factor above and beyond all other factors which has brought on our regime of political correctness, it is the ideological anti-freedom monoculture that so afflicts virtually all of our colleges and universities."
Dr. Balch is introduced and speaks in this video segment from approximately 3:00 to 11:35.
