"Democrats picked up more than the 15 seats they needed to gain control of the U.S. House of Representatives in Tuesday's midterm elections, and for the first time since 1994 will steer the chamber's legislative agenda, with plans to push forward on a full range of campaign promises, including several higher-education issues: making college more affordable, training more scientists and engineers, and expanding federal financing of stem-cell research.
The prospects for several other higher-education issues before Congress will also change with Democratic control of the chamber."
