Marc Ambinder reports on his blog at The Atlantic that Graham Spanier, President of Penn State University, is being considered by the Obama transition team as Secretary of Education in the new cabinet.
Ambinder reports, "For Education Secretary, Democrats say that Graham Spainer [sic], the president of Penn State University, and Ray Mabus, the former governor of Mississippi, are said to be in the running. (If Joe Paterno gets a vote, then maybe it's Mabus.) Others include John Deasy, the superintendent of the Prince George's County public school system, Linda Darling-Hammond, a well-regarded academic from Stanford and an Obama education policy adviser, and Ronnie Musgrove, another former Mississippi governor who lost his bid for Senate. "
The story was picked up by Aubrey Whelan at the Penn State Daily Collegian, who writes a followup.
