University of Oregon President Michael Schill is being treated for a serious infection at a local hospital, according to a post on the university s website Tuesday.

Provost Patrick Phillips will serve as acting president of the university while the president is recovering, according to UO. The Board of Trustees has been notified and there is no other operational impact expected.
