In his July column, ASA Director of Science Policy Steve Pierson highlighted Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Peter Orszag’s call for data on what works and what doesn’t as an example of the Obama Administration’s emphasis on data-driven decisionmaking. Orszag focused on health care and education as two areas where more data is needed. While all eyes are on health care this summer, Pierson thought it would be helpful to look forward to one of the next debates: education. Therefore, he is spotlighting the administration’s education secretary, Arne Duncan, this month.
