The Fishbowl, that is. In AT0, here. Two generous alumni have donated $1M for its renovation. Klinger doesn’t explain whether or not that will reduce the student fees that Robin Holmes got through the OUS Board, after a little crooked electioneering. For $115K I expect better reporting skills. But the tone is an improvement from Klinger’s “bullying and presumptuous” letter to the RG, complaining about their coverage of UO’s other Bowl, here.
Update: UO student reporter explains how the donation will affect student fees, in the ODE:
The donation will add to the actively-raised fund in total of $2.5 million, halfway to the $5 million plan. Students will have to pay for the rest of the project through fees every term over the next 30 years, adding up to the total $90 million.
One of the many earlier ODE stories on VP Holmes’s efforts to manipulate the election is here.
Nice to see money being given to this. It dies make me wonder… What substitution do we anticipate seeing in donations if/when Knight’s billion shows up? Surely our most-excellent administrators are on top of this.
