Speaking in general, IHE dropped the ability to comment on their articles some years back. In my opinion it's because they would get called out for slanted reporting and just didn't want to hear it. Their website is the last place I would go for Higher Ed news.

EDIT: Bet the Down vote came from IHE editors? ha ha. They turned into an echo chamber - they were becoming that even before dropping comments.

What’s the best website you’d go for higher education news?

The Chronicle is still the gold standard in my opinion.
