Hi there,

I’m Rick Seltzer, a senior writer here at The Chronicle. I write the Daily Briefing, a newsletter available only to subscribers.

The Briefing distills the news of the day so that readers can cut through the noise and start the morning with everything they need to know. Every weekday, the Briefing features the most important news, plus exclusive context and analysis to help you start your day informed and prepared.

Lately, we’ve been breaking down some of the new year’s biggest storylines: national politicians’ attacks on college leaders, a fresh wave of anti-DEI legislation taking aim at higher ed, and the high stakes of artificial intelligence. The briefing was also first among higher-ed publications to hit inboxes with news that California State University faculty members had reached a deal to end a weeklong strike early.

Are you interested in getting the Briefing in your inbox each morning so you can make sense of these stories — and understand what’s coming next? This month is a great time to become a Chronicle subscriber.

Through February 13, you can subscribe for less than $20 to start. Just select a Digital Plus or Print & Digital subscription to receive the Briefing every morning.

New subscribers will also gain access to a digital copy of the Trends Report, our annual deep dive into the major trends shaping higher ed. It’s one of our most talked-about issues of the year. You won’t want to miss the next edition when it drops in March.

Thanks for considering a subscription to support our journalism. I hope you’ll join us soon.
