Well, there's always Gonzaga...what does "clout" have to do with the quality of the education?

I graduated from the Gonzaga Engineering School in 1980. At the time, we were unaccredited, but a tough program to get through. UW, on the other hand, was accredited but facing probation.

I strongly disapprove of the liberal slope GU is sliding down, but I'd match them up against the Dawgs any day.

btw, a great number of current Business leaders, politicians, Military Leaders and sports greats are Gonzaga products. Of what population basis is this UW "majority" a "majority"?

Mostly a Seattleocentric view. I'm just saying what I'm seeing. I'm not a Washington native so my view is perhaps less knowledgeable (but perhaps more objective) that a native Washingtonian. But as far as I can see, every major business in the state tends to be strongly affiliated with UW (like Microsoft and Boeing). Even when I lived in Kitsap County (for my stint in the Navy) I noticed a strong influence.

Btw, I very much respect Gonzaga. I hear great things about its law program. My brother once considered going there.

Well, Gonzaga certainly has the advantage of not being in the liberal capital of the northwest. I would imagine that the amount of opposition to changes in Gonzaga would be trivial compared to what would be needed to change UW. In my opinion, the only way to change UW is to change Seattle.
