UO Budget Slash - Eugene Weekly

For more than 40 years, the Labor Education and Research Center (LERC) at the University of Oregon has provided a wide range of workshops, training programs, research and consultations for and about Oregon workers. Tens of thousands of worker students have taken LERC’s classes on labor law, collective bargaining, leadership and communication skills, workplace safety and health, race and gender equity, and much more. Now, with one slash of his budget-cutting knife, outgoing UO Provost Jayanth Banavar has decided to ignore that history of service and cut LERC’s budget so deeply that it will severely cripple the program. https://eugeneweekly.com/2019/05/02/uo-budget-slash/
