Ali Bongo Ondimba adds his voice to the list of Lariviere supporters. A good reminder that this fight should be about process, faculty governance, and transparency – not “We Love Our President”. Steve Duin of the Oregonian rips into Kitzhaber: Death penalty for UO faculty and students, but not for…
