The Sandbox, a weekly newsletter, is a benefit for Insider Premium subscribers designed to help higher ups in higher ed do their challenging jobs. It’s a place to play and create, share ideas, and allow leaders to say what they really think. We strive to provide a Saturday morning read that is both insightful and entertaining. And we rely on current and past leaders to write to and for us. Contact author Rachel Toor if you want to share feedback and jump into the conversation.
The Sandbox is sent each Saturday morning. Not receiving it? Email us at membership@insidehighered.com.

Some of the hardest work can be providing emotional support to everyone.
If you're been having a hard time doing your job this week, well, yeah.
What it's like to live in the president's house when you're not the president.
Many presidents have left this year, so loads are coming out of retirement to act as interims (and sometimes clean house).
Making the choice to follow your heart, even at the expense of disappointing your parents.
“These are lonely jobs that loss can make lonelier. But real life happens.”
