WHEREAS, Then Governor Evans, members of the 1967 Washington State Senate and House of Representatives, members of the Temporary Advisory Council on Public Higher Education, members of the Board of the Southwest Washington State College Committee, and the presidents of the four-year public colleges and universities demonstrated farsighted vision in founding The Evergreen State College, and in determining that the new school should take advantage of the best of current knowledge about effective teaching and learning methods; and
WHEREAS, In response to the Legislature's mandate that this new college meet the needs of the students of today and of the future, the early planners restructured the delivery of higher education and developed an innovative alternative approach to the delivery of education; and
WHEREAS, That restructuring has proven to be successful, not only in effective teaching and learning, but also in efficiency of delivery; and
WHEREAS, These founding principles and the college's unique focus on teaching and learning have guided Evergreen through twenty-five years of making a profound and positive difference in the lives of thousands of students; and
WHEREAS, Evergreen has become nationally and internationally recognized as a center for innovation in higher education, has been consulted in planning new public universities, has been studied by scholars of education, and is the model for educational reform in K-12, in colleges and universities, and in workplace education; and
WHEREAS, Evergreen's collaborative, interdisciplinary approach to learning and problem solving is increasingly the model for many forward-thinking workplaces; and
WHEREAS, This month marks the passage of thirty years since enabling legislation was signed into law creating The Evergreen State College;

Senator Goings: “Senator Heavey, thank you very much for the question. In drafting this legislation, which did have very bipartisan support, and working with members on both sides of the aisle, it was our indication that in order to address this legislation properly, not to invade anyone’s personal privacy, and to encompass all RCWs appropriately, we would cover and make sure the inmates rights were sustained in some areas, but the public’s right to know, also, when it comes to a death row inmate. Off the top of my head, I cannot give you the specific meaning of those RCWs. I appreciate Senator Heavey asking that question and I am sure we all found it informative, but again I would urge adoption of Substitute Senate Bill No 5188. Thank you, Mr. President and Senator Heavey.”
