The National Association of Scholars has a report out on what colleges assign as summer reading for incoming freshmen: "Most of the books on the list fit neatly with the agenda of the campus left: anti‐Western, anti‐business, multi‐cultural, environmentalist, and alienated. The books do signal what lies ahead for students in many colleges: a four‐year program of more of the same."

Among the assigned books: Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed, Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto, and President Obama's Dreams From My Father.
