Although I've only attended 1 class at the U of O, I will offer a bit in their defense. They are over run by lefties, but no more so than any other public university. It is a beautiful campus and a much cleaner atmosphere than you will get at University of Washington, USC, FSU ect. At least they don't have a statue of Lenin in Eugene. In short, it's an institution worth saving
Although the UofO was used in the filming of Faber College in Animal House, it is also the home of Bill Bowerman, Steve Prefontaine, Len Casanova and Mike Belloti. Men who well represent conservative values and work ethic if not politics.
I remember the great distance runner Steve Prefontaine. I don't know anything about his politics. Does anyone recall the circumstances of his tragic death, before the 1976 Olympics?
