Testimonials
Here's what some Inside Higher Ed readers and advertisers have to say about us.
Readers
"Inside Higher Ed's ability to report on recent studies/meetings/speeches, add historical and contextual connections, obtain quotes from concerned parties, and pull it all together so engagingly is remarkable. Thanks for providing such an important news source for those of us in higher education." Anne-Marie McCartan, Ed.D., Executive Director, Council of Colleges of Arts & Sciences
“I've introduced Inside Higher Ed to my administrators and colleagues --all are astounded by the range of information made accessible to all segments and disciplines in higher ed. Your coverage allows us to view our local challenges in multiple contexts - within and across disciplines and institutions and states and so enriches our perspectives. As chair of the Two-Year College English Association (TYCA) Research Committee investigating community college writing programs, I have forwarded articles to my national committee and quoted them in my national talks (CCCC/NCTE). Inside Higher Ed is providing ways for community college faculty to participate in discussions with 4-year scholars and has always made it clear that what's happening at community colleges is significant in any assessment of U.S. higher ed. We are much indebted.” Jody Millward, Santa Barbara Community College
“Inside Higher Ed is a must-read for me every day. The quick, concise headline list takes me right to the stories I need—and frequently share with colleagues. Thanks for such in-depth and provocative writing and reporting.” Susan Havlish, Sales & Marketing Manager, Vanderbilt University Press
“Inside Higher Ed has become a valued and well-used source of information for me. I particularly like its focused, concise reporting and its highlighting of best practices. I’m on the road a lot and it helps me make productive use of layover time in airports. Keep up the good work.” Doug Whitlock, President, Eastern Kentucky University
"I simply love Inside Higher Ed. It's swiftly become my chief source of information on everything related to higher education. Whatever else I can or cannot read on any given day (as a college president, I travel many days a week), I always read Inside Higher Ed. So, please keep up the great work.” Robert Oden, President, Carleton College
"I find at least one useful item in every edition and, while I used to have to e-mail articles to many of my colleagues, more and more of them are also subscribing. I start each day with a review of your newsletter. I find it energizing. Dorothy J. Umans, Program Director, Extended Learning Services, Montgomery College
“It is the only source (that I use) of reliable information on the happenings in the realm of college affairs. Without INSIDEHIGHERED, I would be isolated, operating in a vacuum. As it stands, I look into INSIDE every day at work (first thing!) and copy off the items relevant to what is happening at Wind River Tribal College. Everyone on the faculty and in the administration gets their copy of their (relevant) articles.” Ms. Helen Z. Knudsen, Librarian, Wind River Tribal College
“I think Inside Higher Ed has pioneered solid informed coverage of higher education issues. I start my day with it each morning, often forwarding articles to my colleagues. I would no more miss it than my cup of coffee.” Russell Olwell, Eastern Michigan University
“Inside Higher Ed is one of the most informative news writings that I have ever read. My staff now reads it and so do my colleagues at other educational programs and Universities. I look forward to reading it every day and if I miss it, I try to read it as soon as possible. The news I receive is usually before it gets to the mainstream newspapers and gets my day off to a great start!” Donald R. Doffoney, Lafayette, Louisiana
"As a source of news on Higher Education specific issues, in my opinion, you remain first, and more perceptive on issues that I think are real and significant. Two examples. The early days of the student loan kickback story, soon picked up by major media, and not taken seriously inside the profession at first. Your consistent early breaking news on research related issues, most recently the CDC compliance instances at Texas A&M and UT. We (HEd) may not like the new regs, but we must follow them.” Thomas J. Linney, international education consultant
"I have been an avid reader of Inside Higher Ed for the last two years. As a passionate advocate of higher education, I frequently search for news and magazine articles that address issues in higher education. Inside Higher Ed always delivers great information. I have even used articles from IHE as sources for research papers that I have written. Thank you for providing valuable sources of information on a daily basis." Adriana M. Silva, Admissions Counselor, St. Joseph's College

Our provost's office purchased Inside Higher Ed's reasonably priced unlimited posting package as a way to do national advertising at no cost to individual departments. Now the Equal Opportunity Office is paying for the package. We're now getting many applicants via Inside Higher Ed and our advertising expenses have really dropped. The unlimited posting package is a great value and I'd definitely recommend it as a way to reduce advertising expenses without lowering the quality or quantity of applications coming in."
