The Oregon Daily Emerald Board of Directors looks forward to meeting with the newsroom staff Thursday morning, with the goal of ensuring the staff’s participation in the continued publication of the ODE.
Steve Smith, who had been offered the position of interim publisher by the ODE board, has withdrawn. The board intends to undertake a national search for a publisher.
The editorial independence of the ODE continues to be of paramount concern, and at no time has the board attempted to undermine that.
In addition, the board remains committed to its responsibility of overseeing the financial stability of the ODE.
We look forward to a prosperous future of providing news to the campus community, as well as a valuable educational opportunity for University students.
Signed,
The Board of Directors
