Report: Duncan Would Stay for 2nd Term, Focus on College Prices

WASHINGTON -- Education Secretary Arne Duncan will stay for a second term if President Obama is re-elected -- "unless the president gets sick of me," he told National Journal Thursday. According to the political publication, Duncan made his statement after a K-12 event here, and signaled that he would focus (as President Obama has in speeches and on the campaign trail this year) on trying to drive down college tuitions. “We need to crack the nut on higher education," Duncan said Thursday, according to National Journal. "Middle-class families think college is not for them.”
