Western Governors University Washington, an online university created by the Legislature last year, opened its virtual doors in earnest last week, when Jean Floten became its chancellor in a ceremony in Seattle. Floten previously headed Bellevue College for more than 20 years. WGU is a nonprofit online university founded by the governors of 19 Western states in the mid-1990s. It differs from traditional universities in several ways, and not just because it has no buildings. The university now has an official presence in Washington, which will especially benefit students looking to transfer from the state’s two-year schools.
