Accuracy in Academia

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.Aby, Stephen H. 2007. The academic bill of rights debate: a handbook. Greenwood Publishing Group, ISBN 0-275-99244-6 It says it “wants schools [i.e., colleges and universities in the United States] to return to their traditional mission-the quest for truth.”http://www.academia.org/about-aia/ Hunter, James Davison, Culture Wars: The Struggle to Define America, New York: Basic Books, 1992 ISBN 0-465-01534-4 
The American Association of University ProfessorsBenjamin, Ernst, et al. 1985. On "Accuracy in Academia" and Academic Freedom. Academe, v71 n5 p1a Sep-Oct 1985. 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.
AIA operates a sister website, Campus Report Online, which acts as AIA's "online news service in which we document and publicize political bias in education."

Act on Copenhagen

Act on Copenhagen is the UK government's climate change campaign in the runup to the Copenhagen summit. It is affiliated with Act on CO2, a government initiative mainly promoting individual behavioural change to stop climate change. The site asks punters to support DECC's appeal for an 'ambitious' global deal at Copenhagen and links to a multitude of business, NGO and faith initiatives promoting the Copenhagen summit. It portrays the UK government as at the forefront of the push for strong targets, and includes a countdown clock suggesting the urgency and importance of the Copenhagen deal.
It was launched alongside the government's Road to Copenhagen document in June 2009. The site is managed by the Road to Copenhagen team in DECC and the Digital Diplomacy Group in the FCO, with collaboration and support from other UK government departments. Act on Copenhagen About, Accessed 25/11/09
==Activities==
The government's Back the UK bid in Copenhagen campaign defines the 'ambitious' deal and asks people to sign up. The pledge is very general, and can be read to support technology transfer such as Britain's clean coal technology. It makes no mention of the mechanisms which should be used to deliver carbon reductions, and no UK commitment for drastic cuts which will achieve our portion of the cut-backs.
'I call for a global deal on climate change, and I want it to be:
* Ambitious – no more than 2 degrees temperature rise, developed-country emissions to peak in five years; the whole world in ten
* Effective – keep countries to their word, and let money flow to where it will make most difference
* Fair – support the poorest countries to cut their emissions and adapt to climate change.'Act on Copenhagen Media page: Branding, Accessed 25/11/09

Action 4 Employment

Action 4 Employment (A4E) is an agency which in 2009, secured a five-year, £800m government contract to help run the government's Flexible New Deal scheme. According to The Guardian:
:Under the latest government push to get those unemployed for 12 months or longer back to work, participants have to work with private contractors such as A4e, or risk losing their benefits.Katie Allen, Recruitment boss feels the benefits of getting unemployed back to work, The Guardian, 30-April-2010
The Guardian describes the work carried out by A4E: 
:A4e's promotional literature is tremendously upbeat. "We're taking our customers on a journey, a journey back to work. The way they get there is up to them! It's a big statement to make, but we put someone into employment every 10 minutes of every working day. Yes, we really do!" There are a lot of exclamation marks in the pamphlets. And a hippyish theme illustrates the journey back to work concept, alongside a cartoon of Harrison's trademark wide grin.
:This cheerful tone masks the fact that the regime is tougher than before, and those who do not comply risk seeing their benefits cut for up to 26 weeks. "We have a responsibility to make it slightly more uncomfortable for those on benefits, to make them want to get off it," says Jim Knight, minister for employment and welfare reform. "They are not entitled to just spend their life on benefits."Amelia Gentlemen, Work in progress, The Guardian, 30-September-2009, Accessed 06-July-2010.
==Department of Work and Pensions Contracts==
In April 2011 the Guardian reported that A4E had won 5 out of 40 contracts from the Department of Work and Pensions for getting people back into work.Tom Helm & Daniel Boffey, £1.4m-a-year welfare entrepreneur picked by Cameron to get Britons off benefits and into work, The Guardian, 3-April-2011
