Online classes paying the way - JAKE ELLISON, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER
Raymond Zahler couldn't get into the University of Washington the usual way, not with state colleges packed and the grade-point averages of entering students shooting up. Instead, Zahler paid extra for online and evening courses that don't depend on the Legislature for funding. Online distance-learning and evening courses are opening doors to higher education for more students in this state than ever before. And, education officials say, while this access has been state-supported and designed primarily for place- or time-constrained students, more traditional students are taking self-supporting courses because they can't get what they need any other way.
