Acting Secretary of Education John B. King Jr. and Under Secretary of Education Ted Mitchell will travel, starting next week, to several states to hold discussions about campus sexual assault, campus diversity efforts, the role of historically black colleges and universities in STEM fields, college completion, protections for student loan borrowers, and other issues.
