Iraq forum deserves thanks
I attended the University forum on Iraq last week and was encouraged to hear the question — of whether the University should take a position — be fleshed out publicly in a civil and informed manner.
I would like to thank the University Senate for organizing the event, as well as University President Dave Frohnmayer and professors McLauchlan, Murphy and Pope for their efforts to examine the issue and answer questions from the
audience. I’d also like to thank the ASUO for doing a good job of publicizing the event, but they didn’t do a good job,
so I can’t thank them for it (a Page 8
story written by an ODE staff member doesn’t count).
Kudos to the University Senate and their speakers, though. And I look forward to Friday’s University Assembly meeting to consider the issue of the University and Iraq.
