The University of North Carolina hired Edwards to head its new Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity a couple of years ago, but that hasn't impressed the Education Trust, which gave the university a "D" grade on educational opportunities for the poor and minorities.

I guess Edwards has been too busy scouring the Wal-Marts of America for the latest gaming devices to fix the problem.

But maybe all that time he's spending in Iowa will give him some insight on how to do his job.
