MAS Backs Merit‑Restoring Order, Criticize Racialist Lawsuit
May 22, 2026; Maryland—The Maryland Association of Scholars (MAS), a state affiliate of the National Association
The Maryland Association of Scholars (MAS) is dedicated to restoring high academic standards, civil debate, and viewpoint diversity on college campuses. As the anti-DEI policy debate in universities intensifies, we stand up against cancel culture in higher education by advocating for individual merit, academic freedom, and open inquiry.
Through rigorous research reports, individual faculty defense, and public advocacy, MAS works to protect Maryland colleges’ free speech policies and ensure that traditional education values vs. DEI mandates prioritize the pursuit of truth and virtuous citizenship.
