The overpaid and undereducated JH administrator who approved this hideous abomination should be charged with incitement to riot:
Thanks of sorts to a friend for reminding me of everything that drove me crazy about UO. Old post on the Pioneer Father here.
My initial thought: that Duck looks like a Thinkuh! They should get replicas into that Euro art scene before it gets decolonialzed. I mean Hollywood-class places like the Uffizi — right next to David — that Sistine place — the gondolas in Venice a La lago — the Louvre. Class all the way!
Go Ducks!
I think the copper in that would be better utilized in ammo casings (and I’m not a gun fan)
Yeah, artillery shells for Ukraine.
At least they put it outside the Business school — not Willamette or the Honors College.
I had a chance to watch it last week — people really like it — lots of family pictures — each one representing beaucoup tuition dollars — to my surprise, I kind of enjoyed it — ask me after 3 months of rain.
I assume that this statue got run through the official approval processes the same way as the duck by the alumni center. The campus planning committee approved it on a close vote. The committee that makes decisions on locating art decided they had no jurisdiction, as it clearly wasn’t art.
I think it brings some joy to campus.

When I was accepted to grad school here, lo these many years, a friend who went to Penn State said, “Our football team’s chant is ‘Roar, Lions, roar!’ What’s yours? ‘Quack, you bastards, quack!’?”
I think of that every time I see our cartoon mascot.
