Former Gov. Gary Locke named interim president of Bellevue College
Former Washington Gov. Gary Locke was named interim president of Bellevue College on Thursday.
Locke’s duties will begin June 15.
Locke will replace Jerry Weber, who resigned in March after a campus mural about Japanese incarceration during World War II was altered, as reported by The Seattle Times.
“Working closely with faculty, staff, students, and the community, we must focus on bringing healing to the campus and continuing to provide enriching education despite this challenging environment of COVID-19 and financial crisis,” Locke said in a statement.
Locke served as the U.S. Secretary of Commerce under President Barack Obama and later as the U.S. Ambassador to China.
