In 2015, Quad Partners acquired a controlling interest in the publication.[5]

The publication also hosts several blogs on education topics, including "Confessions of a Community College Dean", "Conditionally Accepted" and "GradHacker".[6] It also publishes Admissions Insider, an online publication about college admissions and enrollment news. In 2018, Inside Higher Ed began publishing supplemental reports in addition to its regular news and editorial offerings.[7] Inside Higher Ed publishes a weekly podcast, "The Key with Inside Higher Ed", in which editors and reporters discuss the challenges posed to higher education by the pandemic and recession, with a particular focus on lower-income students.[8]

Since 2012, Inside Higher Ed and Gallup have partnered to annually survey higher education professionals.[9] In addition, Inside Higher Ed publishes the American Association of University Professors' (AAUP) Faculty Compensation Survey data.

Inside Higher Ed's content regularly appears in other publications such as Slate[10] and Business Insider.[11] Inside Higher Ed has been recognized by the Association for the Study of Higher Education[12] and the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators' Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education.[13]
