This week’s historic election results signal a pivotal realignment of American politics, one that promises to have a tremendous impact on the world of higher education.
As always, The Chronicle is committed to helping you understand what’s happening, what it means, and why it matters to you, your students, and the institution you serve.
None of us know exactly what's in store for higher education. The sector already faces many challenges: declining student enrollment, campus protests and contentious free-speech debates, and ongoing public scrutiny of the value of a degree.
We've helped readers understand and meet those challenges with insightful, clear-headed journalism and expert perspectives. Now we're uniquely positioned to address the new uncertainties higher-ed professionals face at this crucial moment in American history.
Our team of expert reporters guided readers through the first Trump administration, anticipating the impact of his policies and making sense of a whirlwind of statements and actions.
Let me assure you that The Chronicle will continue to bring you the insights and information you need for the road ahead through our comprehensive combination of excellent, nonpartisan journalism, deep insights, expert perspectives, and helpful solutions.
No matter your role, you will need, now more than ever, to find smart ways to lead your institution into the future. For our part, we promise that The Chronicle will do its best to continue to be an indispensable resource to help you navigate this challenging time.
To make sure we continue to serve higher education well, I have two requests:
•
First, please subscribe to The Chronicle and invest in the nation’s best higher-ed journalism during this critical time.
•
Second, send us an email at solutions@chronicle.com with your feedback: Let us know what challenges you are facing, and how we can best help you solve them.
Onward!
Michael Riley President & Editor in Chief, The Chronicle of Higher Education
