About Change
Change is a magazine dealing with contemporary issues in higher learning. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching accepted the invitation to assume the editorial responsibilities for Change after the dissolution of the American Association for Higher Education (AAHE) in June 2005.
Established by Andrew Carnegie in 1905, the Carnegie Foundation's original charge was "to encourage, uphold, and dignify the profession of the teacher and the cause of higher education." Over the succeeding century, this focus on teaching, educational improvement, and reform has been reflected in the Foundation's pioneering and influential policy studies, research programs, and other programmatic initiatives. Thus Change's focus on these same issues made the magazine a natural fit with the Foundation's work.
Among Carnegie's responsibilities are the selection of and support for the editor-in-chief. Margaret (Peg) Miller, president emerita of AAHE and a professor of higher education policy at the University of Virginia, is the current editor of Change, having served in that capacity before Carnegie became involved. Carnegie's role is to work with the editor to generate the content of the magazine--identifying themes and topics, locating authors, vetting and editing submissions, and maintaining high standards. This is done in consultation with Heldref Publications, the magazine's publisher, but with primary responsibility and authority held by the editor and editorial board working under Carnegie's auspices and direction.
