ACTA's Must-Reads

New report, old news
A new report under the direction of Robert Arum, sociologist at NYU, looks at the failure of today's colleges and universities to teach students basic analytical, quantitative, written communication, or critical reasoning skills. The report's appalling results, also picked up by Slate and Inside Higher Ed, come as no surprise to ACTA. Policy Director Michael Poliakoff wrote on the blog a few days ago about Arum's findings and how they further underscore the increasing need for resources like WhatWillTheyLearn.com, our free guide to general education programs and core curricula at over 700 of our nation's colleges and universities.
