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.

“Our people make sacrifices every day so that we can survive together as a whole.”
The old clichés no longer hold true, but some folks just can’t quit them.
Your faithful correspondent realizes “her” presidents are not typical.
Many presidents are first-gen college. But not many started out as undocumented immigrants.
