There is no representation from Eugene because …the way I see it is that in a few years the UO will be sold to the highest bidder (and we all know who that is) then the JH greedy slime balls from DF to present day will be the board and a shoe maker will be the CEO/President.
It could be that the legislators have inside information that the UO will become private and they have their own board in line. Clearly they don’t want someone on the outside telling them what to do. And of course…that’s all good!
Any better suggestions? With the history of the UO lately, and with all the suck up greedy back scratching of the JH brotherhood for the last few decades. It’s like writing on the wall. Bought and sold.
So if ya all can get out now…better get-ta-running or ya all be working for the man and his board. ugh…ain’t a pretty sight.
UO is about to be rolled by the Oregon Idea.
