An essential resource for institutions looking to tackle diversity and faculty representation issues.
Higher education has a diversity problem.
While colleges and universities have hired more African American, Hispanic and Asian American faculty members than in the past, percentages of historically underrepresented groups among full-time faculty have not changed much over the last 20 years, even as diversifying the academy has become a top goal across higher education. Many of the graduate programs that are educating the future professoriate are not much more diverse than the faculties are. And while colleges have made big strides in the diversity of undergraduate student bodies, the professoriate has lagged.
Amid broad demographic change in our country, and at a time when racial, gender and social inequities are front and center, colleges increasingly cannot afford to ignore diversity. This in-depth report includes insight from experts on the cutting edge of diversity work. It offers ideas and models for institutions that are looking at faculty representation and know they need to do more.
Inside Higher Ed’s new special report, Diversifying Graduate Schools and the Faculty, is available now.

December 11, 2018
Dive deep into the strategic planning process with this essential guide for administrators, trustees and others at colleges and universities.
Challenges to higher education mount ever higher. The global financial crisis, which left institutions trapped in a vise between rising costs, shrunken endowments and curtailed public funding, has given way to a new period of rapidly changing student demographics, intense public scrutiny and disconcerting political unpredictability.
The choices colleges make in this world of escalating demands and limited resources inevitably cost them time and money. Sound strategic planning is critical for all types of institutions -- public and private, rich and poor, community college and research university. This in-depth report details the latest trends in strategic planning and best practices leaders can choose from to build a meaningful process able to motivate key constituencies.

On-Ramps and Off-Ramps: Alternative Credentials and Emerging Pathways Between Education and Work
September 19, 2018
Explore the landscape of alternative credentials and pathways and gain insight from experts and promising initiatives.
The college degree is considered the best ticket to a rewarding career and the middle class. But many say the traditional degree pathway is failing to meet the nation’s postsecondary education and training needs. As a result, a growing number of colleges are partnering with employers -- or brokers who make those connections -- and noncollege education providers to offer alternative credential pathways. This is the focus of Inside Higher Ed’s new special report, On-Ramps and Off-Ramps: Alternative Credentials and Emerging Pathways Between Education and Work.
