WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is asking the vice president’s wife to convene a White House summit on community colleges.

Biden, who teaches English at Northern Virginia Community College, just outside Washington, is set to introduce Obama when he signs into law a measure increasing Washington’s role in student loans.
