California Community Colleges chancellor to take temporary job with Biden administration
LA TimesCalifornia Community Colleges Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley will join the Biden administration in a temporary role advising U.S. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona on higher education policy, the system announced Monday. In an interview, Oakley said he would help advance the Biden administration’s top higher education priorities. A coalition of 24 higher education associations, organizations and advocacy groups launched a national campaign last week to double the grant by the program’s 50th anniversary next June, Inside Higher Ed reported. “This should be directly supporting the kind of students that we serve in community colleges, CSU and UC — more first-generation students and low-income Americans — to help pay for the total cost of education,” Oakley said of the Pell Grant campaign.
