Higher Education Report
Between 1983 and 2018, the ASHE Higher Education Report Series (formerly ASHE-ERIC Higher Education Reports, 1972-1982) provided researchers, scholars, and practitioners with timely and substantive information on the critical issues facing higher education.
Each monograph presented a definitive analysis of a higher education problem or issue, based on a thorough synthesis of significant literature and institutional experiences. Topics ranged from planning and diversity to performance indicators and curricular innovations.
The series linked the higher education research and practice to inform decision making and policy in a format designed to help busy individuals keep up with the higher education literature. Authored by scholars and practitioners in the academic community, each report included an executive summary, review of pertinent literature, descriptions of effective educational practices, and a summary of key issues to consider in efforts to improve educational policies and practice.
Members of a National Advisory Board of ASHE scholars and practitioners provided peer review of invited manuscripts. On average, six monographs, each approximately 120 pages in lengths, were published each year through Jossey-Bass and John Wiley & Sons publishers, and are available online to subscribing institutions through Wiley InterScience. The series was guided by editors Kelly Ward, Lisa Wolf-Wendel, Adriana Kezar, And John D. Fife its 35-year history.
