[edit] Accreditations, et al.

I am concerned about the number of external links (see accreditations), when we should be linking within Wikipedia first, right? samwaltz 13:09, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I do not believe that Chris Walla is an alumni of this University; I believe he attended a community college in Bellingham. I'll fix this within a week unless somebody responds. -anonymous user

Chris Walla got his BFA in sculpture at Western in 1997. He attended Whatcom CC as well. See [1] 20:11, 1 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Public Ivy

The university is known as a Public Ivy, an American term for state-funded institutions of higher learning considered to have academic excellence equal to that of the Ivy League.

This statement is untrue. I'll be removing it. I imagine the person who added this is mistaking the WWU for the University of Washington which is considered a public ivy. 140.160.66.83 21:11, 10 May 2007 (UTC) Joe in Bellingham
