How can Lariviere present this plan with a straight face from the same university that hid a multi-million golden parachute for its athletics director, circumvented the state's agreement on furloughs for classified workers, obfuscated/foot dragged on public records, etc.? And now they want to be TRUSTED with less oversight and in Phil Knight's words, allowed to act as a private university? Knight also says one of the most important things Lariviere will do with this plan in significantly raise tuition for in-state students. How is this helpful to Oregonians, not just UO?

Pres Wiewel makes a great point. The Legislature can and often does sweep tuition that students pay FOR THEIR EDUCATION and uses it for other state agency purposes. That's a shell game we can no longer afford.
