A senior official at the U.S. Department of Education will step down next month, the department announced on Tuesday.
Jamienne Studley, deputy under secretary and acting assistant secretary of the Office of Postsecondary Education, will leave on December 18 to "go back home to be with her family in the Bay Area," said an email from Ted Mitchell, the department’s under secretary.
Ms. Studley has been influential in the department’s accountability efforts, which Mr. Mitchell emphasized in his message. "While at the department," he wrote, "she led projects of enormous consequence, including much of the work on the new College Scorecard, our 2014 College Summits, and recent executive actions on accreditation."
