Here’s a quick update about Higher Ed Experts, the new community-oriented website I’ve just launched.
First, let me thank you all for your interest and support: more than 100 registered members in 24 hours… This has already expected my wildest dreams.
I would also like to apologize to the dozen of vendors, consultants and other people not working in universities and colleges who registered. As I explained to all of them in an email (I’ve added a notice on the registration form to avoid this in the future), HEE membership is only open to higher ed professionals and executives — for now.
If the HEE community thinks the website should be open to other types of members, they will be given some kind of access in the future.
And, actually, if you are a registered HEE member, I would really appreciate if you could share your opinion on this topic in the forum thread titled “Should HEE be open to consultants and vendors?” (you’ll have to log in first to see the link to the forum). You can also post a comment below if you prefer.
If you do work in a college, school or university, you can register now.
More information about the benefits can be found in my previous post titled:
