Research Group Honors 'Inside Higher Ed'

The Association for the Study of Higher Education gave Inside Higher Ed its special merit award Friday, at the research group's annual meeting in Denver. The award, which is given only in years in which the association's members believe it is warranted, honors an "influential academic leader, group or scholar outside the field of higher education who has offered a valuable perspective for studying and understanding colleges and universities." The publication was recognized for its timely and sophisticated coverage of research on higher education and of the higher ed enterprise generally. The editors of Inside Higher Ed appreciate the award.
