More Info: Several weeks ago, when the staff of the Spokane Valley GED Center learned they needed to vacate the University Center, it seemed like bad news. Summer quarter was in full swing with 58 students enrolled. However, according to instructor Bill Bussard, that unsettling news turned out to be an unexpected blessing.

Question (from CindyH): Do you think there’s a bias against folks who receive a GED certificate instead of a traditional high school diploma? A lot of the students I spoke with were concerned that employers might think a GED wasn’t as good as a diploma.
