vious choice.
"For the last few weeks I've consulted with a
variety of people In those constituency groups
and talked to them about the wisdom of this
idea,” Williams said. "Not surprisingly the presi
dent and I learned the overwhelming ma)ority
share our view about Rich and the appropriate
ness of appointing him to this position."
Brooks said he was flattered to be considered
for the dual role as AD and head football coach,
adding that he was looking forward to facing the
challenge of the added responsibilities.
"I certainly wouldn’t have considered it with
out consulting my wife Karan, who doesn't see
very much of me as it is and will now see less of
me." Brooks said. "But she's enthusiastic about it.
"I believe it is a workable situation," ho said.
"I'vo been hero 15 years. I believe I know the
state well. 1 believe I know our problems well.
And I beliovo wo have a very competent staff that
is going to bo instrumental In making this work —
both football staff and athletic administrative
staff."
Brooks said he appreciated the fact that his and
Byrne's tenure as AD will overlap slightly, giving
him a chance to learn the (oh from Byrne before
he departs.
University President Myles Brand said the
move was in keeping with the national trend for
institutions to have direct oversight of intercolle
giate athletics
"Wo see this as entirely in the spirit of that ac
tivity." Brand said. "This Is an opportunity to
bring athletics oven closer than It has been in the
past to the rest of the mission of the Institution."
Brand said another ma)or factor In Brooks' hir
ing was that Brook* shared Brand's view about
the role of academics in athletics.
“Yes I like to win games," Brand said "But
mostly I like to see the students graduate and do
well And I am confident those values are
shared "
Brooks later affirmed his commitment to aca
demics for student-athletes.
"1 know there will be the nay-sayers who look
at this as the fox guarding the hen house," Brooks
said. “I believe wo havo run a good program on
the football side. Wo hove emphasized and trim!
very hard to make the academic experience of our
students one that ts of quality, and I want to reaf
firm that as athletic director not only for foot
ball athletes, but for all athletes "

struction. Kaufman remains upbeat about where
the College of Education is heading.
"Measure 5 really creates an opportunity."
Kaufman said. "It is actually a message from thu
Martin Kaufman
puDiic mai we can
not continue to do
things the way have
boon. To mo that
seems to be a won
derful climate for
change."
The Idea of
change is exactly
what brought him to
Oregon. Citing Ore
gon's progressive
mentality Kaufman
stated that he wants
to be in on newly re
denned movement in education.
"Oregon Is one of ihe most exciting national
laboratories for educational reform," he said.
“For a person like me who likes to be on the lead
ing edge of Innovation there is no bolter place to
be thnn Oregon.”
Part of the reform Kaufman would like to see is
a shift of emphasis on the fndcral government for
policy and management toward more self-reliance
at the slate and local level He would like to have
universities play a major role in this transforma
tion.
"The only way to make the changes that are so
critically needed, If our education is to succeed,
is from thor bottom up," Kaufman said, "What it
moans for universities is that we must stop think
ing of ourselves as producing products We need
instead to hulp communities and their Schools
build the capacity to integrate education and oth
er human services so they can more effectively
meet the academic, emotional, cultural and sociul
needs of all the children."
Kaufman is also harking forward to working
with a nationally recognized faculty. Considering
the faculty was abln to gurner more than $11 mil
lion worth of fedeml grants and contracts for the
1991-92 fiscal year, it comes as no surprise that
they are well known.
Kaufman will lie replacing Robert ('.llberls, who
will rolurn to being a faculty member in the col
lege’s Division of Educational Policy and Manage
ment after serving for 22 years as the dean.

‘We're obligated to fulfill tho
employment contract If ho
comes to work.” Crier said.
Monson Is also suing for
$221,066 ho was due to receive
from contracts outside the Uni
versity. Under NCAA guide
lines, the University was re
quirod to approve those agree
merits.
However. Grier said the Uni
versity’s only obligation Is to
pay Monson's salary.
"His other agreements are be
tween him and those other peo
ple." Grier said.
Monson piloted the men's
basketball team through nine
seasons. But he was dismissed
as head coach after the Ducks
won only six games during the
1991-92 season.
During his nine years at the
University. Monson posted u
11(1-145 record and led the
Ducks to four winning seasons
and three Nutional Tournament
bids, the last in 19A9-90.
Athletic diroctor Bill Byrne
mentioned the 1991-92 losing
season and a precipitous drop
in ticket sales as factors in
Monson's dismissal.
