Higher Ed Mag Po
Since before there was even much of an Inside Higher Ed Web site, there has been.....the Inside Higher Ed Poetry Magnet. With all the changes taking place in higher education, we think it's time to work up a new list of higher education words. Perhaps "furlough" in place of "retire"? We turn to you, loyal readers of Inside Higher Ed, for inspiration. Send us your suggestions for words that define higher ed today. If we include your word on our new magnet, we'll send you one after they're printed (be sure to give us your mailing address). E-mail your suggestions to publisher@insidehighered.com by Thursday, August 13.
