Good evening,
- The Lane Community College board censured one of its own members, Zachary Mulholland, for bullying behavior on several occasions. Dozens spoke during public comment. The meeting went on for four hours. And Mulholland apologized. Twice. But signs of discord on the board remain.
- We told you back in July that Ken Kesey’s coast house near Yachats was going on the market. Well, it sold: $750,000.
- Former University of Oregon President Michael Schill said he will resign from the job he left UO to take: president of Northwestern University. Among other troubles, he had come under fire from Republicans in Washington, D.C., for his response to campus activism over the war in Gaza.
- The Springfield Block Party is coming up tomorrow evening. It’s been growing in popularity over the years, and organizers are encouraging attendees to consider walking, biking or taking the bus, instead of driving, to downtown Springfield.
- Bipartisanship is not much in fashion lately, but two Oregon lawmakers — one Republican and one Democrat — are joining forces to try to stop law enforcement officers, including federal ICE agents, from wearing masks on the job in Oregon. Presumably, they could continue to wear masks in the privacy of their own homes. However, some legal experts say it is unclear whether the state has such power over federal agencies.
