“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!”
