The nation’s three largest teachers’ unions, the National Education Association, the American Federation of Teachers and the United Federation of Teachers, have endorsed Obama.
But some experts are reluctant to endorse his platform. Dr. William Tierney, director of the Center for Higher Education Policy Analysis at the University of Southern California, says, “Senator Obama is terrific, but I don’t think there’s a lot of substance, yet, with regard to fostering the transition from high school to college and ensuring that the research capacity of U.S. universities receives the support necessary to carry out the needed work that will enable us to be competitive.”
Diverse will cover the Republican platform in a later edition.
