The In and Out List

Did last year fly by or what? It's a safe bet that 2014 will also be a whirlwind for higher education. So Inside Higher Ed's reporters, editors and bloggers decided to pause and reflect on what went down in 2013 as well as what to expect for next year.

Below is our second annual in and out list. Please let us know what we got wrong (or right) in the comments section. Happy New Year.
