"I have been an avid reader of Diverse: Issues In Higher Education for over 26 years dating back to my days as a doctoral student when it was called Black Issues in Higher Education. Every educational issue involving race that I have been passionate about has always been thoughtfully addressed in this publication. What I especially appreciate about Diverse is its unapologetic and unequivocal dedication to recognizing the importance of the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education for everyone, especially minoritized populations. No other publication dedicated to higher education represents these values more than Diverse. Thank you Diverse! During this time of anti-DEI sentiment, Diverse is needed now more than ever! ”

“Diverse: Issues In Higher Education is a high-quality publication that rivals the Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Education, and others. It is the most insightful publication addressing diverse, equity, and inclusion issues and I consider it a crucial resource. At Coppin State University, we appreciate how Diverse not only illuminates the challenges faced by underrepresented groups, but also celebrates innovative solutions and inspiring success stories from institutions nationwide. Its commitment to amplifying diverse voices is imperative for fostering genuine dialogue and understanding in higher education. ”

“I have read Diverse almost every day for the last 20 years of my career. As an administrator and faculty member who is committed to inclusive excellence, the reporting in Diverse has been essential in helping me support underrepresented students and scholars at my institution. Diverse covers important topics and leadership transitions that other higher education publications do not cover, and their reporters are among the best in the industry. Thank you, Diverse, for your leadership in higher education journalism.”

“I am delighted to read about your upcoming 40th anniversary issue. I have been getting and reading the publication since it was Black Issues In Higher Education before it was the glossy machine that it is today, but I consider it a must read for anyone who is involved in making higher education spaces more diverse. By expanding the scope beyond “Black” people, the publication parallels my own research that a as a Black male has evolved to include
scholarship on Asian Americans, Native American and Latinos and Hispanics. I think DIVERSE exposes us to the plight, the pleasures, practicalities
and the possibilities of those in these marginalized groups.”

"There is no other publication in our country that provides nuanced reporting on higher education issues than Diverse. On topics such as affirmative action, immigration and the nation’s storied HBCUs, Diverse has been a leader and ahead of everyone else."

“I have been an avid supporter of Diverse: Issues In Higher Education since 2011. Working in higher education over 20 years, in the 4‐year private, public and community college sector, this magazine has provided me with resources that have been invaluable to my role every step of the way and education that I've been able to share with my colleagues. DIHE has always shined a light on critical issues of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work; they have been professional, respectable, and current with national news which is needed in the DEI world. I know that I can rely on them!”
