Great news for UO finances

Update: And here’s still more good news from Hannah Hoffman in the Statesman Journal: PERS almost fully funded after boom year. PERS earned 15.8% (Compared to the UO Foundation’s 13.8%).

4/2/2014: Eugene rents are far below most cities where our prospective out-of-state students might go, and the rate of growth is zero. With steady enrollment and many new student apartments coming on line next year, the total cost of attending UO is far below comparators and likely to fall in relative terms. UO’s Board of Trustees has responded by raising out-of-state tuition, and it looks like there’s going to be plenty of room for future increases. This information will make the bond market very happy. Someday President Gottfredson may even consult with the SBC on how much he intends to borrow, and what he will spend it on.
