Good evening,
- The trustees of the University of Oregon got a look today at some bleak data about student enrollment and retention rates at UO, both of which are lower than at peer institutions. Lookout reporter Grace Chinowsky was in Portland covering the meeting, which continues tomorrow.
- A trial has been set for the driver of the SUV that hopped a curb, struck and killed 79-year-old Sharon Schuman while she was jogging on the Amazon path. A judge ordered Scott Shawn Stolarczyk, 51, who has pleaded not guilty, to stand trial in March. Jaime Adame reports.
- Oregon Journalism Project continues its coverage of the use of private equity investments in the PERS pension fund. At a recent meeting of officials who guide state investments, Oregon’s treasurer said critics don’t know that some of those investments took losses because that information is private by law: “It’s really important for people in the public to be aware that there are things we are not able to disclose legally,” Oregon State Treasurer Elizabeth Steiner told the meeting.
- We are looking for high school athletes with interesting stories. Last week we profiled Mylee Johannsen, a female placekicker for the North Eugene Highlanders football team. Who do you know? They don’t have to be the greatest athlete in the world. We are looking for anyone who has a fun or inspiring story? Contact Mike McInally to nominate someone.
