In April, the "New England Journal of Higher Education" ("NEJHE") launched its "New Directions for Higher Education" series to examine emerging issues, trends, and ideas that have an impact on higher education policies, programs, and practices. In this installment of the series, DiSalvio speaks with Richard Arum, co-author (with Josipa Roksa) of "Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses." Arum and Roksa pose fundamental questions about whether undergraduates are really learning anything during their undergraduate experience. For a large proportion of students, Arum and Roksa's answer to that question is a definitive "no."
