WASHINGTON — A key member of the Obama administration’s higher education team is departing, diminishing the chances that much of substance will happen in federal postsecondary policy making until the president is either re-elected or ousted.
James Kvaal, who came to the Education Department as deputy under secretary of education a little over a year ago after a stint at the White House National Economic Council, is leaving to join the campaign to re-elect President Obama. Kvaal could not be reached for comment, but a department spokeswoman confirmed his plan to move on.
