UO teaching HS furlough classes

6/4/2012: First I’d heard of this constructive idea, from KEZI:

With plenty of parents worried about how furlough days will affect their child’s education, the University of Oregon is stepping up to help.

A group of UO professors are volunteering to teach low-cost courses on days when local high schools are not in session.

The schedule includes courses on microeconomics, environmental science, introduction to political science, complex ecosystems, advanced political theory, and the founding of the United States.

Organized by Tom Lininger from the law school.
