The school will reduce Axline's salary to half time for his supervision of clinical work without the liti gation component. The law school will continue to offer a strong environmental curriculum. With private funding, the law school will be less vulnerable to the caprice cuts from 1990's Ballot Measure 5. The Environmental Clinic suffered a near extinction in May 1992, when faculty ( on vened for an emergency meeting to cut 20 percent of the law school budget. 'Many of the faculty have a negative view of the environmental program and clinic," said Student Har Association President Chuck Mundorff. "They feel the spotted owl litigation has antagonized the business community and dried up funds available to the school." Dave Evans, former co-director of Land Air Water, a student environmental organization, agrees. "Potential sources of funding from the private business sector are more likely to step forward with the clinic de-coupled from the law school." he said I .aw school Dean Dave Frohnrnayer and the law school's development coordinator. Eloise Stubr, have brought in a record $2.5 million in donations and grants, including a $500,000 endowed profes sorship in business law from the president of Bohemia Inc . a major wood products company Other aspects of the environmental program stand to benefit from this funding infusion. Mundorff ( redits Frohnrnayer lor making a conscious effort to end antagonism within the school by lending administrative support to the Innrnal of Environ mental Low and Litigation for the first time in nine years. Although some question the politics of the off campus move. Advanced Environmental Clinic par ticipant Mike Wach is quick to recognize the advari tages of an independent environmental litigation clinic. ' The clinii will have the opportunity to take on more r ases and have more students involved, along with the opportunity to generate now and more sources of revenue, rather than being limited by Measure 5.” he said. j » * WMMBrag - AffltKMutlaJi Q** Omk* i/M, 8** m l(T A lkmX*6>ffUUfi*vdtt ilM 3 W, P,m*rtk**,m usa t* Bu* m UyU>u,d & liT BacktM Suprr Tim Mufkxfrnxw DafUy UPi \fJr iCk inlutli Cenlm'm 610 * ®. fy(4t Btutc Cotor Monitor C Affik KxImJat KrybcarJ II fUOl Right ikm; yrxi can get substantial savings on these Macintosh' personal computers.
