We've Been Thinking About Illiteracy in College All Wrong

Are college students really becoming illiterate — or are we asking the wrong question? In recent years, professors across the country have reported that many college students struggle with reading comprehension, sustained reading, and academic writing. But this video isn’t about blaming students or shaming a generation. It’s about examining how our education system made this outcome possible. In this video, we explore: What “illiteracy in college” actually means Why literacy struggles don’t start in college How standardized testing reshaped reading and writing The role of grade inflation and lowered academic expectations Why COVID didn’t cause the problem — it exposed it How AI tools like ChatGPT are accelerating existing gaps Why first-generation and underfunded students are affected the most This video argues that literacy isn’t collapsing because students don’t care — it’s eroding because systems have prioritized advancement, testing, and credentials over deep learning and mastery. If you’re a college student, first-generation student, educator, or anyone questioning the state of higher education, this conversation is for you. Literacy is not a personal failure. It’s a public responsibility. 👍 Like, subscribe, and join the conversation if you believe education should make people more capable — not just more credentialed.
