2/7/2011: People have been asking how giving at UO compares with other schools. The comparison group is the 54 public universities, Carnegie high or very high research research, with from 10K to 30K students, reporting to CAE.
For the 2009-2010 academic year donations for UO athletics were 357% of the average. Donations for clearly academic purposes were 59% of the average.
Again, our ability to do a full comparison is limited by the refusal of UO Foundation head Paul Weinhold to share his data with mere faculty – these numbers just count gifts for current operations.
Oh yeah, one more number: The UO faculty and staff give twice as much to our university as the faculty at these comparators give to theirs. 212%, to be exact.
