I think you folks are forgetting that Lariviere is an employee of the state of Oregon. Lariviere has systematically gone against his superiors' orders. How many of you have a job where you can go against what your boss says AND NOT be fired? The REAL president of the University of Oregon is Phil Knight- and it says a lot that he is furious with Lariviere's dismissal- Knight no longer has a sock puppet.

Hey Govenor - the other schools are not his problem he is the president of the U of O, he doens not give a rip about any other college. He acted in the best interest of what he thought for the school. You and your school board make me sick. You talk of conflict of interest how about you and your girlfriend? You hypocryte!

It's "Doctor No" what do you expect? Not someone who will listen to what is happening with the universities and not some power hungry board members. If only 7% of the funding for the university comes from the state (and why do they cut education funding when they are in a pinch anyway?) then the decision should be influenced by the places the funding is from. Perhaps there is a real reason Phil Knight was upset?
