President Michael Schill spoke at the UO Faculty Senate meeting on Wednesday about the new sexual and gender-based harassment complaint policy and about the university budget. Also at the meeting, the Senate voted to make the cinema studies program its own department and the Bias Education Response Team Task Force gave its report. President Schill discussed how he signed the new Student Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment and Violence Complaint and Response Policy that the Senate approved in April. The policy will go into effect on Sept. 15. Schill said the new policy was created to protect survivors as much as possible, while also keeping the community safe. “[The policy] is already being sent around to other universities
as a model,� said Senate president Bill Harbaugh. Provost Scott Coltrane announced that the university has hired 40 tenured track faculty, from a variety of backgrounds and races, as a part of the university’s plan to hire more tenured track faculty. Also at the meeting, the Senate voted to make the cinema studies program its own department starting in July. The cinema studies program, established in 2010, is part of multiple schools and colleges on campus, but will now be a department in the College of Arts and Sciences. Journalism Professor Chris Chavez also gave a report on the BERT, a resource on campus for students to report incidents of bias or racism on campus. Chavez is on the BERT Task

Force that was created in June to observe BERT and see what it has been doing. Chavez said they recommended that BERT refrains from classroom interaction and that they want to encourage students to understand which resource to go to when they have something to report. Chavez said BERT is planning on revising its role at the university because of the report of the task force. At the next meeting, the senate will be voting on a new vice president who will also be the president-elect. This person will serve as senate VP in 2017-2018 and will be senate president in 2018-2019. So far nobody has come forward and volunteered for this position, but current senate president Bill Harbaugh said at the meeting that he is willing to run again if nobody else does.

đ&#x;“– COVER Here’s what you need to know about the tuition increase ➥ MAX
T H O R N B E R R Y, @ M A X _ T H O R N B E R R Y
The state of Oregon is facing a $1.6 billion deficit. It has not been responsive to requests by universities for increased funding. Last November University of Oregon President Michael Schill, along with the presidents of Oregon’s six other public universities, wrote a letter to legislators requesting $100 million for higher education costs across the state. That amount would have kept UO’s in-state student tuition increase below 5 percent. On Thursday, May 25, the Higher Education Coordinating Commission approved UO’s tuition increase for in-state students. This decision came after a months long process of discussion and decision making by administrators and students across the university. The Board of Trustees voted in March to approve the 10.6 percent increase for residents and 3 percent for out-of-state students, totaling $945 more per student next year. The increase reduces UO’s $15 million deficit to $8.8 million. That number is being reduced by $4.5 million in cuts that Schill announced in April. Schill attributes the majority of the budget deficit to: increasing Public Employee Retirement System costs, increased salaries for faculty and disinvestment in higher education by the state. In addition to tuition increases, the university has addressed budget issues by cutting faculty and staff around campus. Schools such as the College of Arts and Sciences have budgets that are made up almost entirely of faculty pay. CAS was one of the first schools to be affected by cuts when the dean of CAS non-renewed 31 staff and faculty members last month. More cuts soon followed as the Substance Abuse and Prevention Program was discontinued for the 2017-18 school year, eliminating 18 more jobs. In addition to balancing its budget, UO is pivoting back to emphasizing its status as a research institution. Non-tenure track faculty members — temporary instructors whom are signed to 1- to 3-year contracts — are being phased out as the university makes more space for tenure-track faculty. Schill hinted that if the tuition increase was not approved by HECC, more cuts would be necessary to address the deficit. The day after the original request was denied by a 4-4 vote, UO spokesman Tobin Klinger confirmed that 54 staff positions would be non-renewed for the 2017-18 school year. “The Higher Education Coordinating Commission’s decision yesterday [May 11] to reject the University of Oregon’s tuition plan is disappointing and creates uncertainty on our campus,� he wrote. “If it stands, we will be forced to make even deeper cuts at the UO than are already anticipated, including cuts that will likely affect student support services, academic programs, and jobs.� Former ASUO President Quinn Haaga and Vice President Natalie Fisher were the only student government representatives from the six public Oregon colleges to approve of any kind of increase. Fisher told the Emerald she didn’t see any better option for the university. She acknowledged that UO needs to balance cutting faculty and increasing PA G E 4

tuition. A compromise was found by the Tuition and Fees Advisory Board — on which Fisher serves as a student representative — that a 10.6 percent increase would be sufficient to meet the needs of the university. According to Fisher, an increase of 20 percent would have solved the university’s deficit problem and allowed it to retain its current number of faculty. Current ASUO leadership disagrees with its predecessors. External Vice President Vickie Gimm told the Emerald that Haaga and Fisher did not represent her because they are graduating seniors who “should not be speaking on behalf of the students who will be affected by this decision.� She said the tuition increase affects low-income students of color at UO. The HECC disagreed. Documents show it determined that UO met the criteria of determining “clear and significant evidence of how Oregonians who are underrepresented in higher education, including low-income students and students of color, would benefit more under the university’s proposal than one that stays within the 5 [percent] threshold.� In its report, the HECC wrote that UO guaranteed that its Pathway Oregon program would continue. Qualifying students are considered “low-income students� as one requirement is to be Pell Grant eligible. HECC noted that 42 percent of Pell Grant eligible students at UO are students of color. Despite meeting four of the five criteria set by the HECC, the initial vote failed, resulting in a petition from UO that was approved last week. Between the two votes, Haaga and Fisher along with incoming Faculty Senate President Chris Sinclair sent letters to the committee. Haaga and Fisher’s letter urged committee members to reconsider its decision. “Over the past four years, we have experienced first-hand the consequences that are derived from a lack of faculty and staff� The letter went on to say the effect of the cuts is seen. “through multiple week waiting periods to schedule counseling appointments, larger class sizes and inconsistent advising that has as [sic] times led us down the wrong academic paths. We fear that these issues and many more will increase at an exponential rate next year, further disadvantaging all students, especially those that cannot afford to take an extra term or even extra class.� Sinclair wrote that fewer class options and larger class sizes are two side effects of the current budget crunch. “Faculty are all too well aware that the price of tuition increases fall on the backs of our students, especially on low-income and underrepresented student populations. We wish it were not so,� he wrote. “We wish the state prioritized higher education so that we could provide affordable, high quality education to Oregonians without unduly burdening those in challenging economic situations.� Noah Mcgraw, Miguel Sanchez-Rutledge, Emma Henderson, Alec Cowan, Emerson Malone and Will Campbell contributed reporting.

Ducks advance to College World Series after comeback win ➡ COLE
KUNDICH, @CKUNDICH
Oregon entered the seventh inning against Kentucky looking like they’d be heading to an all-decisive Game 3 on Sunday. Instead, the Ducks scrapped together their largest comeback of the season to win 6-5 and advance to the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City for the fourth time in six seasons. “Our team just fought, and fought, and fought,” said head coach Mike White. “It just shows the character to come back from three runs down against a very good pitching staff.” After winning game one 4-0 on Friday in Eugene, the Ducks could not break through during game two’s first six innings. Playing as the road team on Saturday, the Ducks went into the top of the seventh inning down 5-2. A pair of singles and a walk loaded the bases for Nikki Udria. The Ducks’ cleanup hitter delivered, driving in Danica Mercado and Alexis Mack with a 2-RBI single to cut the deficit to 5-4. Mia Camuso delivered the go-ahead knock the Ducks were looking for all afternoon. A 2-RBI double brought home Gwen Svekis and Udria, giving the Ducks their first lead of the game, and bringing a sold-out Jane Sanders Stadium into a frenzy. “It was pretty special to get that hit because I had been struggling for a bit,” said Camuso, Oregon’s freshman first baseman. “You just got to keep swinging and pull through. I was glad to be able to do that for my team.” A ground out to third baseman Jenna Lilley ended the game and started an on field celebration, including hats that read “OKC bound.” Kentucky’s lead started early when the Wildcats got on the board first with a pair of runs in the bottom of the first inning. With one out and a runner on first, Brooklin Hinz singled down the left field line. Ducks left-fielder Alexis Mack misplayed the ball,
allowing Hinz to advance to third, and the Wildcats Katie Reed to score all the way from first. Alex Martens then doubled to leftcenter to bring home Hinz from third. Abbey Cheek gave Kentucky a 3-0 lead with a solo blast to lead off the bottom half of the fourth, her 13th home run of the season. The Ducks began their scoring in the fifth, starting with a single from Alexis Mack, followed by a pair of walks to Svekis and Udria which loaded the bases with one out. An illegal pitch from Meagan Prince - who had just entered the game - advanced all three base-runners, allowing Mack to score from third. The Ducks added one more in the inning off an RBI ground-out from Shannon Rhodes to cut the deficit to 3-2. The Wildcats responded though, taking a 5-2 lead into the seventh thanks to a twoRBI single off the bat of Erin Rethlake. That lead disappeared for Kentucky in the top of the seventh, where the Ducks strung together five straight base runners, allowing them to break through. “You can’t hit the three run homerun with nobody on base,” said White. “That was the message in the last inning - we have to get on base and find a way to put pressure on the defense.” Miranda Elish — who entered in the fifth inning for fellow freshman Maggie Balint — closed the game for the Ducks with a 1-2-3 bottom of the seventh. It’s a drastic reversal from just last season, in which the Ducks were stunned in the NCAA Super Regional by UCLA, losing in three games to the Bruins. Instead, the Ducks will look to bring home the first national championship in program history. “The hardest part is getting there,” said Udria. “We have to be in the moment and never take one pitch off because it could be our last.”
