Campus Journalism in the Shadows: Publishing What Colleges Won’t

Student journalists often do the work of professional reporters: digging into campus finances, tracking misconduct, documenting protests. But many of these efforts never reach publication. Stories are pulled, reworded, or delayed—especially when they touch on administrators, donors, or internal disputes.

The Higher Education Inquirer is creating a space for this kind of reporting. We will publish student work rejected by campus editors, including pieces withheld out of fear or pressure. Submissions may be anonymous or credited, but all will be reviewed for accuracy and relevance.

This isn't about embarrassment—it’s about access. Students know their institutions from the inside. They see what official channels miss or avoid. By giving these stories a platform, we aim to bring useful information to light, help protect whistleblowers, and support independent inquiry.

We invite students to submit now. If your story was blocked, it still has a place to be heard.
