Recently, there has been a steady trickle of bad news about America universities.

Now we have learned of new research suggesting some students are learning next to nothing at college.

Jenna Johnson at the Washington Post tells us about a book released earlier this year, titled, “Academically Adrift: Limited learning on college campuses.”

As part of their research, co-authors Richard Arum of New York University and Josipa Roksa of the University of Virginia administered a standardized test to 2,300 college students at two dozen schools during their first semester, then again after their second year.

It turns out over 45% showed no improvement over that time.

Check out Ms Johnson’s blog post on the subject, worth a read. Unlike the students in the study mentioned above, you will likely learn something!
