Issue Briefs-Higher Education Governance
The leadership team of the University of Oregon has created the following issue briefs to serve as a tool for policy makers considering higher education governance changes. Currently, the Oregon Legislature is discussing two bills related to governance: Senate Bill 270 establishes institutional boards for public universities in the Oregon University System and House Bill 3120 restructures Oregon’s system of public higher education. If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Government and Community Relations at (541) 346-5020.
