“Chronicle of Higher Education style guide”

I went to chronicle.com and couldn’t find their style guide. Can you point me to it? I’d like to see their “style” requirements”.

This is not easy to find and I can’t point you directly to it. I learned this in a historical context. Teresa Sullivan was president at the University of Virginia and ran into major headwinds in efforts to change things around. She survived the brouhaha, but there was massive back and forth for several years. In articles on the matter, many feminist letter writers decried that she ws referred to as Ms. not Dr. The convention I described was explained several times but had to be repeated to each outraged soul.
As she left the University in 2017, the Chronicle reported it

and always used Ms. not doctor. BTW, the University of Virginia also used the term MS in 2018 in recapping her tenure, so it is not unusual to not use the Dr (she has a Ph. D.) See
