Guaranteed Education Tuition faces new hurdle
Guaranteed Education Tuition faces new hurdle
Washington universities won authority last year to vary undergraduate tuition rates according to what different degrees really cost. But before they start charging future engineers more than English majors, schools are grappling with how it would affect the state's prepaid tuition program.
To protect the solvency of the Guaranteed Education Tuition program, state and university officials and lawmakers are considering imposing new fees to help pay for expensive degrees -- fees that wouldn't be covered by GET.
State Sen. Jim Kastama criticizes it as a potential "bait and switch" for parents who were told buying 100 GET units would cover a year of their child's education no matter how high tuition climbed.

No more higher ed cuts, lawmakers say
Legislators visiting the Tri-Cities on Thursday vowed to dig in their heels and fight against any further cuts to higher education in a coming special session.
But the reality is that cuts are likely and could run deep.
"As you know, we have very serious funding problems," said Rep. Larry Seaquist, D-Gig Harbor, chairman of the House Higher Education Committee. "We are looking at very serious budget cuts -- in higher ed maybe cutting one-third of the budget."
Focus on reading spells success for Kennewick
Focus on reading spells success for Kennewick
As superintendent of Kennewick schools, I feel compelled to respond to the Sept. 25 In Focus. It was a classic example of taking data points out of context, which was misleading to the reader. The main argument posed was that since 7th grade reading scores have declined in Kennewick over the past four years, having a goal that students read on grade level is a failed policy.
To begin, readers might be interested to learn that Kennewick 10th-graders have exceeded state averages in reading for ten consecutive years and in writing for eight of ten. We certainly look at checkpoints, like seventh-grade reading scores, but we are most interested in the results students get when the test they are taking is a graduation requirement, and they exert their very best effort.
But, let's take a look at those seventh-grade reading scores locally and across the state. Since 2007, every Mid-Columbia district along with the entire state has seen their seventh-grade reading scores drop, in some cases dramatically. Does
Whitman aims to teach civil rights
Whitman aims to teach civil rights
WALLA WALLA -- Noah Lerner doesn't remember hearing much about the civil rights movement when he was in public school. Now a senior at a Whitman College in rural Washington, Lerner aims to ensure some students learn more about a key moment in America's history.
Whitman College is partnering with the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit civil rights organization based in Montgomery, Ala., to help its students teach schoolchildren about the civil rights movement in Walla Walla.
The small city known more for its sweet onions and wine in the state's southeast corner might seem an unlikely place to engage students in the topic of racial justice: Blacks make up less than 3 percent of the population and even less at the college, and Washington sits many miles from the movement's heated center in the Deep South.
