The University of Oregon is a public university located in Eugene, Oregon. The university was founded in 1876, graduating its first class (five students) two years later.
The school colors are green and yellow, and its mascot is an adapted, specially-designed Donald Duck [1].
In the 2007 edition of U.S. News and World Report's America's Best Colleges, the University of Oregon ranked highest in academics among national universities in the state of Oregon. The University is one of 60 elected members of the Association of American Universities. The Carnegie Foundation classifies the University of Oregon as "Doctoral/Research Universities-Extensive" one of four such universities in the Pacific Northwest region.
Former Oregon Attorney General David B. Frohnmayer is the president of the university. UO receives much of its funding from the UO Foundation[2], an independent not-for-profit organization.

[edit] Colleges and Schools
The University of Oregon is organized around six professional Schools and Colleges in addition to an Arts and Sciences College and an Honors College. Full department listing: University of Oregon Department Index
- School of Architecture and Allied Arts, founded in 1914 by Ellis F. Lawrence,[1] is comprised of various different departments and programs, including the Department of Architecture, Department of Art, Department of Art History, and the Department of Planning. The Department of Architecture offers NAAB accredited degrees in both undergraduate and graduate architecture programs, as well as landscape and interior (accredited by CIDA) architecture. The bachelor of architecture is a five year program and the master of architecture has three options (Option I offered to students already with an accredited architecture degree, Option II offered to students with a four year unaccredited architecture degree, and Option III offered to students without any architecture degree). The department of art offers an array of fine arts including Digital Media, Ceramics, Fibers, Metals and Jewelry, Photography, Painting, and Sculpture. Selected works by students are frequently placed on display in Lawrence Hall's Laverne Krause Gallery.
- College of Arts and Sciences covers a large array of departments in the arts and sciences. [3] The more prominent departments of the sciences include psychology, neuroscience, marine biology, nanotechnology and computer science.
- Charles H. Lundquist College of Business was founded in 1884 and offers varying programs in the field such as accounting, decision sciences, finance, management, and marketing. The two more well known departments within the college are the Lundquist Center for Entrepreneurship, and the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center. The College of Business is housed in the Lillis Business Complex opened in November 2003, which is well known for its sustainable design.
- College of Education was established in 1896 as a branch of the Department of Philosophy and later merged with the Department of Science and Arts in 1900. It wasn't until 1910 that the School of Education was established as an independent college. Eight years later, the school is accredited by the Northwest Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.[2]
- Robert D. Clark Honors College is a small college intended to compliment the existing majors already in place at the university by joining select students and faculty for a low student to teacher ratio (25:1 maximum).[3] The students are challenged further and is held to a higher academic standard than the rest of the university. Admitted students in 2005 held a mean unweighted GPA of 3.93 and a mean SAT of 1355 (of 1600).[4]
- School of Journalism and Communication, well known for its concentration on ethics, gave birth to eight of the nine Pulitzer Prize winners from the University of Oregon.[5] The school is one of the oldest Journalism schools in the United States, beginning as a department in 1912 and later becoming a professional school 1916, receiving accreditation from the ACEJMC[4].
- School of Law was formed in 1884 in Portland is relocated to Eugene in 1915.[6] It was admitted into the Association of American Law Schools in 1919 and receives accreditation from the American Bar Association in the first year possible in 1923.[7]
- School of Music and Dance was initially just the Department of Music in 1886, and developed into the School of Music in 1900 It was admitted to the National Association of Schools of Music in 1928. As one of the largest music institutions in the western United States, the school offers over 20 ensembles in vocal and instrumental music, giving approximately 200 public performances a year.[8]
[edit] Library System
The multi-branch University of Oregon Libraries serves the campus with library collections, instruction and reference, and a wide variety of educational technology and media services. The UO is Oregon's only member of the Association of Research Libraries. The main branch, Knight Library, houses humanities and social sciences, Learning Commons, Music Services, Government Publications, Maps and Aerial Photos, Special Collections & University Archives, Media Services, and the Center for Educational Technologies. Other branch locations are the Architecture and Allied Arts Library; Portland Architecture Library; John E. Jaqua Law Library; Science Library; Mathematics Library; and the Loyd & Dorothy Rippey Library at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology.
The UO Libraries hosts Scholars' Bank, an open-access digital repository created to capture, distribute and preserve the intellectual output of the University of Oregon. Scholars' Bank uses the open-source DSpace software developed by MIT and Hewlett Packard.
The Libraries' Educational Video Group maintains the UO Channel, which uses streaming media to provide access to campus lectures, interviews, performances, symposia, and documentary productions.
The UO is the founding member and host of the Orbis-Cascade Alliance, a consortium of academic and research libraries in Oregon and Washington. The combined collections of the Alliance exceed 20 million volumes and can be searched via the Summit union catalog.
[edit] Campus
The University of Oregon has around 80 buildings and facilities, including athletics sites such as Hayward Field, which is the site for the 2008 Olympic Trials, and McArthur Court, and off-campus sites such as nearby Autzen Stadium and the Riverfront Research Park.
The university is known for being the site of a pioneering participatory planning experiment known as the Oregon Experiment (which is also the subject of a book of the same name). The two major principles of the project are that buildings should be designed, in part, by the people who will ultimately use them (usually with the help of an 'architect facilitator'), and that construction should occur over many small projects (as opposed to a few large ones).
Deady Hall is the university's oldest building. Completed on October 16, 1876, it was the only building on campus and had an enrollment of 177 students. Deady Hall is now home to many classrooms, offices of mathematics faculty and graduate students, and the mathematics undergraduate lounge. In 1977, Deady Hall was designated a National Historic Landmark. The hall used to be separated by gender. Males would enter on one side of the building and females would enter on the other. This explains the strange room-numbering system where the first floor is 100, but the second floor is 110. The fifth floor is numbered in the 300 range, but the sixth floor is numbered in the 310 range.
Deschutes Hall was completed in 1989 as part of the university's science complex. It currently houses the university's Computer and Information Science department.
Willamette Hall's Paul Olum atrium is the center of the university's hard sciences complex. The construction of the $45.3 million additions of Willamette, Cascade, and Streisinger Halls to the complex was completed in 1989. Additional science complex buildings include Columbia Hall, Klamath Hall, Onyx Bridge, Huestis Hall, and Vulcanology.
Lillis Business Complex is home to the Lundquist College of Business. The complex has a capacity of 196,500 square feet (18,000 m²) and has the largest array of architectural solar glass installed in the Northwest. The Lillis Business Complex is the first university business building in the United States to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification, and was certified LEED-Silver in May of 2005. The two attached building wings have been declared historic buildings, but they are scheduled to be internally renovated under LEED-EB (for Existing Building) standards in early 2007.
Oregon Hall houses the university's main administrative offices. This building includes the Registrar's Office and Office of Admissions.
Villard Hall is home to Theater Arts. Like its sister building Deady Hall, it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977.
Johnson Hall is where offices for higher administration and trustee offices are found. The offices of the University President are housed in this building. Additionally, this was one of main buildings used in the movie "Animal House." An apocryphal story holds that the office of the President was used in shooting of the film (including the shooting of a horse); actually, the administration office filmed belongs to the current Vice President for Finance & Administration, and no animals were injured (or shot) during the filming.
Lawrence Hall is the university's school of architecture. It is one of the last architecture schools remaining to follow the Bauhaus teaching style. Many students dislike this building due to is extremely difficult to understand design, which makes finding offices and classrooms somewhat of a chore.
Allen Hall, which houses the School of Journalism and Communication, was opened in 1954, and is a largely renovated version of the earlier Journalism Building, which was completed in 1923. When Allen Hall opened, the journalism dean bragged that the building's construction came in under budget. It showed: the building's entire interior was generic and bare bones, including only one men's room and only one women's room in the entire building. The only exception was a replication of former Dean Eric W. Allen's home living room as the building's seminar or conference room. The building was further renovated in phases starting in the 1990s, particularly after University Printing moved out of the basement in 1999.
Knight Library was originally erected in 1937. There were additions to the building in 1950, 1966, and a renovation in 1994. By the time of the third addition, the library had increased in size by 132,000 square feet (12,000 m²).
Pioneer Statue a likeness of a bearded, buck-skinned, pioneer cast in bronze by sculptor Alexander Proctor in 1919 is located between Fenton and Friendly hall. It is rumored to have inspired the fictional statue of pioneer Jebediah Springfield in the television show The Simpsons. In 1932, the "Pioneer Mother" statue was dedicated in the Women's Memorial Quadrangle on the other side of Johnson Hall; the two statues are aligned so that they can 'see' one-another through the large windows of the hall's main floor.
The university maintains the Riverfront Research Park, a small facility located across Franklin Blvd. from the main campus, next to the Willamette River. The Park is used for creating new technologies, such as research about artificial intelligence at the Computational Intelligence Research Lab and ZFIN, the Zebrafish model organism database.
Prince Lucien Campbell Hall is an aberration on the campus, a persistent urban legend states that its lack of architectural harmony is because of a mix-up of plans with another university in California, but this is false. Students describe "PLC" as "a 9-level dungeon," or as "a monolith" and its dystopian architecture led in part to the hiring of Christopher Alexander and the initiation of "The Oregon Experiment in the late 1970s. The building was also bombed in 1970, but for separate reasons. The 9th floor housing the political science offices has a spectacular view of part of the campus. The buildng is the tallest on campus.
Student Recreation Center is an exercise and recreation facility located on the corner of East 15th and University street. It includes fitness equipment, rock climbing, swimming pool, racquetball, an indoor elevated running track and basketball courts. Covered tennis courts and several turf fields, and newly built outdoor tennis courts within a running track are located near the rec center.
The Erb Memorial Union is the student union on campus, and is a gathering place for campus activities, community interaction and socializing. It is located at East 13th and University street. It contains a food court, restaurants and cafes, student groups, meeting rooms and performance spaces, the campus radio station 88.1 KWVA, and offices for administration. The EMU was built in 1950 by Tucker and Wallman Lawrence.
Chapman Hall houses the Robert Donald Clark Honors College on its second floor, multiuse classrooms on the first along with Honors College Faculty offices, and graduate classrooms in the lower level.
The University of Oregon Bookstore was founded in 1920 as a cooperative and is now run as a not-for-profit organization owned by U of O students and members of the faculty and classified staff.
[edit] Student publications
In part because of the popularity of the University's journalism program, the U of O has a vibrant and diverse array of student-run and student-created media.
The Oregon Daily Emerald, published Monday through Friday, primarily features news items and commentary pertaining to the University community, and is considered the daily paper of record. In addition to the print newspaper, the Emerald publishes its features on a website that is viewed daily by UO alumni around the world. The Emerald has been in publication for more than 100 years and has many distinguished alumni. A court case involving the Emerald's publication of several first-hand student accounts of drug use during the 1960s became the basis for the subsequent creation of the Oregon Shield Law. The paper became independent in the 1970s after editor Paul Brainerd, the founder of Aldus and creator of PageMaker, realized the potential conflict of interest between acting as a watchdog while simultaneously receiving direct funding and oversight from the university. Today the paper is supported by advertising revenue and is distributed free to students because of a subscription fee paid by the ASUO with incidental fees.
The Oregon Voice, the Oregon Commentator, and the Insurgent are three separate student-run and student-funded magazines, each of which publish several issues per school year on independently determined schedules. The three magazines represent a variety of perspectives, and each are funded by the Associated Students of the University of Oregon's (ASUO) incidental fee. In 2000, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in Southworth v. the University of Wisconsin that public universities may fund student publications through mandatory student incidental fees, but that university administrations may exert no editorial control over those publications and that fees must be distributed in a viewpoint-neutral manner.
The Oregon Voice primarily chronicles popular culture in a zine format. The Voice often profiles music acts as they tour through Eugene, and in 1998 the magazine published a widely read interview with Infinite Jest author David Foster Wallace.
The second oldest publication on campus after the Emerald, the Oregon Commentator is a journal of political opinion and humor, modeled in equal parts after such publications as Harvard Lampoon and Reason Magazine. Often, but not always, the Commentator is known for a libertarian or conservative stance. In general its aim is to serve as a contrarian outlet for students resistant to the prevailing trends on campus. In addition to its print magazine, the Commentator publishes its content on its website, where it also maintains a group-run blog frequently linked to by national news outlets. It was founded in fall 1983 primarily by Dane S. Claussen, now a journalism/mass communication professor, and Richard E. Burr, now with The Detroit News' editorial pages.
The Insurgent is a journal of radical politics published by a Collective of students and others who express solidarity with such groups as the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth First! organization. Among other causes, the Insurgent rallies for the release of such individuals as Mumia Abu-Jamal and convicted arsonist Jeffrey "Free" Leuers, on the grounds that they are wrongly held political prisoners.
Flux is an annual magazine written and edited by students at the University of Oregon School of Journalism & Communication.[5] It contains in-depth features about a wide variety of topics, many of which are based in the Pacific Northwest but have national appeal and interest.
Other student publications on the University of Oregon campus include the multicultural magazine Korean Ducks, the ASUO Women's Center's newsletter The Siren, and the ASUO governmental newsletter NETMA (acronym for Nobody Ever Tells Me Anything).
[edit] Student media controversies
Controversy has occasionally surrounded the Commentator and the Insurgent. In 2001 the Insurgent gained national attention for publishing a primer on violent methods of ending scientific testing on lab animals, opposite a page detailing the names, phone numbers, and home addresses of science professors alleged to be involved in such practices.
In 2005 members of the Insurgent Collective led efforts to defund the Oregon Commentator on the grounds that it had violated its own Mission and Goals statement by ridiculing a prominent student senator. The ASUO's Programs Finance Committee (PFC) voted to defund the Commentator. Later, three members of the PFC resigned their positions under duress, including one whose criminal record was published in the Commentator. The free-speech advocacy and civil rights organization FIRE threatened legal action against the University, and the Commentator's funding was subsequently reinstated by a reconstituted PFC. In 2006 the Commentator republished the twelve Mohammed cartoons that had sparked riots across the Middle East after first appearing in the Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten several months prior. The Insurgent followed by publishing twelve cartoons depicting Jesus (PDF), some of which featured the deity with a prominent erection. Several groups demanded a public apology or a defunding of the Insurgent, and news outlets including The O'Reilly Factor called for the firing of the University's President David B. Frohnmayer. Both the Emerald and the Commentator publicly defended the Insurgent's right to free speech and Frohnmayer's decision to uphold it, citing the 2001 Southworth decision by the Supreme Court.
The "Emerald" itself is not a stranger to controversy. In the 1970s and early 1980s, the student newspaper published an annual satire supplement called the "Immorald". The 1981 "Immorald" featured the phrase "Give me a fucking break" in nearly all its stories, which led to an angry editorial in the Eugene "Register-Guard", entitled "The Immorald is Not Funny". The phrase had been used earlier that year by "Emerald" political columnist (and former editor) Greg Wasson, which prompted Max Rijken, a member of the Oregon Legislature, to photocopy the article for fellow legislators and demand that the UO administration take action against the newspaper. The co-editor of that year's "Immorald", Mike Rust, went on to co-found the "Commentator" a few years later.
The other 1981 "Immorald" co-editor, Mike Lee, had lightly sparred with the "Emerald" itself a few years earlier, in a mock controversy that had real consequences for the UO mascot, the Oregon Duck. In 1978 the "Emerald" sponsored a student referendum that would officially declare the cartoon character Mallard Drake as UO mascot. Drake, the creation of "Emerald" editorial cartoonist Steve Sandstrom, was a black-feathered duck, closer in spirit to Daffy Duck than the UO's Donald. Lee opposed the referendum through an organization called the "Retain Class in Your Bird" committee, itself a parody of a campus radical group, the Revolutionary Community Youth Brigade. Students ultimately voted for Donald over Mallard, in an election that drew more votes than the student-body president on the same ballot. UO officials later used that election as evidence that students "officially" voted for Donald Duck as campus mascot.
[edit] University of Oregon and Nike
UO track and field coach Bill Bowerman revolutionized the athletic shoe by pouring melted rubber into a waffle iron, creating a prototype rubber sole. Bowerman went on to co-found Nike corporation with UO alumnus Phil Knight. Nike has maintained a close relationship with UO ever since, manufacturing all university logo clothing and uniforms for the football team, including research prototypes for high-tech "smart clothes", such as jerseys with cooling systems.
Controversy surrounding Nike's labor practice precipitated protests in 2000 led by a group of students calling themselves The Human Rights Alliance. The protests included a 10-day tent city occupation of the lawns in front of Johnson Hall, the main administration building. Protesting students demanded and initially received independent oversight by the Workers Rights Consortium (WRC) of Nike's overseas factories. The University of Oregon joined the WRC but was quickly admonished by Phil Knight in a scathing letter resulting in the rescindence of a US$30 million dollar contribution to renovate Autzen Stadium, and a pledge for no more future donations should the University continue its membership in the WRC. The University eventually terminated the relationship with the WRC within a year of joining, citing "legal complications." Phil Knight later reinstated the donation and increased the money to over US$50 million dollars. [6]
Further controversy ensued in March 2005 with the resignation of track coach Martin Smith. Smith was ousted by the “Lame Ducks”, a group of former Oregon track athletes employed at Nike that raises funds to support the Oregon track program, and by Phil Knight who stated that he would quit donating to the track team as long as Smith was coach. The primary point of contention was that Smith did not focus enough on long distance running events which was a traditional strength for Oregon and Nike shoe sales. Smith was replaced by former Stanford coach Vin Lananna in July 2005. Additionally, former women’s track coach, Sally Harmon sued the university with a US$1.1 million gender discrimination lawsuit which was settled in July 2005.
[edit] Athletics
The mascot of the University of Oregon is the duck; popular Disney character Donald Duck has been the mascot for decades. UO is a member of the Pacific Ten Conference and Division I for athletics (Division I-A for football). Home football games are played in Autzen Stadium. The university intends to build a larger arena to replace McArthur Court, where basketball games are played.
The University of Oregon has produced many world-class track and field and cross country athletes, including Steve Prefontaine. The Ducks have won five men's NCAA outdoor track and field championships, four men's cross country championships, and one women's outdoor track and field championship and two women's cross country championships. The university also maintains a relationship with shoe manufacturer Nike, who also provides uniforms and logo merchandise for the Ducks.
The football team has enjoyed strong success over the past twenty years though the major turning point of the football program was a game in 1994 at Autzen Stadium against the perennial football power and border rival, the University of Washington Huskies. In that game, Oregon held on to a slim lead, but the favored Huskies looked to score late in the game resulting in yet another disappointing loss (Oregon had lost 17 of 20 and five straight to the Huskies prior to this game). Miraculously, freshman defensive back Kenny Wheaton intercepted the football and ran the ball back 97 yards for a touchdown to secure the upset victory. This play became affectionately known as "The Pick" among Duck fans. With this momentum, the team proceeded to win the rest of their conference games, won the Pac-10 title and played in the Rose Bowl Game, losing 38-20 to Penn State. In 1995, Mike Bellotti became the head football coach and took the football program to the next level. In 2001, under the leadership of Joey Harrington at quarterback, the team finished 11-1 including a 38-16 win over the University of Colorado in the Fiesta Bowl. The team finished #2 in the college rankings that year, behind only the University of Miami, who finished the season undefeated; Oregon was the nation's only one-loss team.
In 2005, Oregon had success behind senior quarterback Kellen Clemens and a new spread offense. Unfortunately, during a game at Arizona Clemens suffered a broken ankle. At that point Oregon was 8-1 (their only loss was to #1 ranked USC 45-13), and still in the hunt for a BCS game. Oregon won their final three games and their success led them into contention for a bid to the Fiesta Bowl. However, due to NCAA clauses, they were relegated to play in a second tier game, the Holiday Bowl, where they played an Oklahoma team with only seven wins and four losses. Oregon subsequently lost to Oklahoma 17-14 to finish the season 10-2, tied for second best in school history.
With the support of its boosters—most notably, Phil Knight—the Oregon football program has among the best facilities[citation needed] in the United States including a newly remodeled Autzen Stadium and a state of the art locker room replete with luxuries such as plasma displays and fingerprint biometric locks. The team has also benefited from the creative work of the University of Oregon's sports marketing department and Nike, with billboards promoting individual athletes, personalized comic books for prospective recruits, and high tech uniforms, logos and mascot. The football team has been criticized by the mainstream sports media, however, for its untraditional uniforms. [7]

The University of Oregon women's softball team, coached by Head Coach Kathy Arendsen, Associate Head Coach Jay Gaudreau and Assistant Coach Mick Hokanson finished the 2006 season 25-29 and ranked 28th in the NCAA RPI. They were not eligible for the post-season NCAA tournament because of their record. A season highlight was the perfect game pitched by Alicia Cook against Stanford on April 28, 2006 at Howe Field. The Ducks had appeared in the NCAA tournament for the previous three seasons.
In 2006, the Oregon women's soccer team, despite finishing second in the Pac-10 and being ranked nationally in the top 20, were not selected for the NCAA tournament field of 64.
[edit] Academic co-curriculars
[edit] Forensics
In addition to its athletic teams, the university also has a competitive intercollegiate Speech and Debate team, directed by professor of rhetoric David Frank. The University of Oregon Forensics program was founded in 1876, at the same time as the university. Initially the program consisted of two student-formed forensic societies, which developed into "doughnut league" inter-dorm competitions in the 1890s. In 1891, the UO began intercollegiate competition with a debate on the topic of labor against Willamette University in nearby Salem. Forensics continued to grow as a staple of the university's community and by 1911, the team was so successful that they could charge admission to debates. Money raised during these events was often donated to the fledgling University of Oregon football program.
Parliamentary debate was integrated into UO Forensics in 1998-99 and the team has been competitive since. In 2001, the UO's Alan Tauber and Heidi Ford claimed a national title, winning the first ever National Parliamentary Tournament of Excellence (NPTE). In 2003, Damon Martichuski and Kevin Stone finished in the country's top four, finally losing in the semi-finals at the formidable National Parliamentary Debate Association National Tournament.
As of 2006, the team is coached by Aaron Donaldson, who debated for regional powerhouse Carroll College 1999-2003, and Paul Hood, who coached the 2000 NPDA national champions at Truman State University. In the 2005-2006 season, the team placed second in the Northwest Forensics Conference, due to regularly strong showings in both individual events and parliamentary debate.

[edit] Trivia
The University of Oregon's 280 acre (1.1 km²), park-like campus is home to more than 500 varieties of trees. Campus legends state that a botanist, who was researching trees that could survive in the Willamette Valley, planted at least one of every kind of survivable tree on the campus. Nearly all of the original trees have survived, though some have been destroyed by natural causes such as windstorms.
Conflicts between students living in the West University neighborhood and the Eugene Police Department's 'Party Patrol' have escalated into large confrontations where Eugene Police used tear gas on student crowds. The last such instance occurred in 1998 around Halloween weekend.
University of Oregon was named the #4 cannabis-friendly college in 2005 times by the magazine High Times.
The film Animal House was filmed on the University campus and the surrounding area, although the building used as the exterior of the Delta House (which belonged to the Phi Kappa Psi chapter at U of O) was demolished in 1986. [8] However, the house used for the Omega House is still used by the Phi Kappa Psi chapter at U of O. Other buildings that were used during filming include Johnson Hall, Gerlinger Hall, Fenton Hall, Carson Hall, and the Erb Memorial Union, in which the Fishbowl was the site of the famous food-fight scene. The Knight Library and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art can also be seen in the movie.
The University's Duck mascot is based on the famous Disney character, Donald Duck. Donald Duck is the only popular film and television cartoon character to appear as a mascot for the sports team of a major American university. In 2002, Oregon tried to phase out the Donald-looking Duck in favor of a new, futuristic mascot referred to as Roboduck or the Mandrake [9]. This was done largely because the University has to pay royalty fees to Disney for all merchandise sold using Donald's image. Walt Disney himself gave Oregon free reign to use Donald. However, after Walt's death, Disney asked for the contract. Oregon was unable to produce because it was a handshake deal, and Disney started charging royalties. Roboduck was largely disliked by the Oregon fan base, and was phased out after one season[10].
