Duncan, Barnes Answer Questions from College Students

Last week Secretary Arne Duncan and White House Director of Domestic Policy Melody Barnes participated in a live chat with HuffPost College.
They answered a number of questions, including…

  • How does the White House plan to encourage high school minority students to pursue higher education?



  • How can the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act, which takes effect in 2014, help students who are in college today?



  • What can the federal government do about the ever-increasing cost of higher education?


  • Questions came from HuffPost College’s network of college newspaper sites across the U.S.
