Cuts to Oregon's oldest public university pit financial problems vs. institution's 'soul'

Administrators say it’s a necessary move to protect the financial health of the university, and a way to keep the 165-year-old institution affordable for prospective students.

The fuzzy future of Oregon politics east of the Cascades was unveiled to the public last week

SALEM — The fuzzy future of Oregon politics east of the Cascades went public last week — no diagrams, charts, data — really nothing tangible at all to show how new legislative and congressional districts will be drawn. “We don’t have any maps,” said Rep. Andrea Salinas, D-Lake Oswego, chair of the House Redistricting Committee. “We don’t have any numbers from the census.” Salinas and her Senate counterpart, Sen.

The hearings are collateral damage from the constitutional car crash headed to the Oregon Supreme Court.
