3. WHAT IS ASHE?
• ASHE was incorporated in Washington D.C. in 1976 as a 501(c)(3) Non-
profit organization, Federal ID 52-1071242.
• The Ad Hoc Committee on ASHE History began in January 2003. The
committee’s primary activity in the past year has been oral history
interviews, conducted by different members of the committee. These
interviews resulted in an accepted session for the 2005 ASHE
conference, “Re-Professionalizing Higher Education Scholarship:
Interrogating ASHE's History,” with presentations by several professionals.
The presentations helped the committee members focus on historical
interpretations of ASHE; just as important, session participants were able
offer valuable interpretations as well as, in one case, memories of ASHE
that captured some substantial changes in regard to gender and the
Association.
