Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses by Josipa Roksa.

Do students actually learn anything at college once they get there?  This book discusses how parents, CEOs, and the students themselves question the preparation of high school students for higher education, and the academic rigor, or lack thereof, of 4 or more years of college. 
This book takes a hard look at how we run our institutions of higher learning and what has become the norm for 45% of graduates.  All faculty everywhere should read this!
