UO gets $6M to endow family counseling and speech clinic

6/28/2016: UO gets $6M from Marin Community Foundation to endow family counseling and speech clinic. Andrew Theen has the good news in the Oregonian:

“Our long-term vision is to expand the college’s clinic and capabilities to become the educational and social-services equivalent of a modern teaching hospital,” UO President Michael Schill said in a statement. “This very generous gift is a game-changing step toward achieving that goal.” Services at the clinic average $15 per client, according to the university, giving Eugene and Springfield residents access to therapy at a lower cost.

    It’s nice to know they are going to renovate.

    There’s nothing more wasteful than demolishing a perfectly useful facility.

    Think of where we might be now as a research university if Allyn Ford hadn’t sacked Lariviere — no Gottfredson, no Berdahl, no Coltrane….

      Troll. We all know Kitzhaber gave the order, and then Donegan, Pernsteiner, and Triplett happily did the firing.

    To President Schill

    Its not high speed computing that scientists want. Its

    a) high PERFORMANCE computing

    b) A strong scientific computing support group – for example

    UO Matters bait. Baseball team lost 1.7 million in fiscal year 2015, not counting the $780,000 debt repayment for the year.

      Drop baseball, and we’d have more than enough to cover the hole Coltrane dug for CAS Humanities.

      • Dog says:

        Oh come on UOM – Coltrane has held it together, as has been his previous praise. How could have have dug this hole? Did he have a shovel or was he just looking the other way when the dogs dug
        deep into the ground …

    $13M for two solid academic causes in one month. Not bad. Any news on how much of the $20M for Lillis and Bean’s sports spires of excellence programs has been raised?
