Frohnmayer
Continued from Page 1
Care System in Bethesda at 9 a.m.
PDT where he was admitted into
the Intensive Care Unit and listed
in critical condition.
The president’s condition from
the arrhythmia — an interruption
of the heart’s normal rhythm —
was upgraded to serious over the
weekend, according to a statement
released Saturday by his family.
“He will undergo a series of tests
to determine both the cause and the
treatment,” the statement read.
Frohnmayer, 59, had no history
of heart-related medical problems,
said University Provost John
Moseley, at a Friday press confer
ence. In Frohnmayer’s absence,
Moseley will assume all adminis
trative duties associated with the
role of president.
“He is a very energetic and
hard-working guy,” Moseley said.
“We never had a hint at any time
that he had a problem.”
hi a letter to the campus, ASUO
President Wylie Chen wrote Fri
day, “News of his medical condi
tion has been received with shock
and concern. The ASUO will pro
ceed with respect for the Frohn
mayer family as we offer our
thoughts and wishes to them.”
University spokeswoman Mau
reen Shine said her office was
working with student leaders to no
tify the greater University commu
nity as his condition is updated.
“We want to be sensitive consid
ering the subject matter,” she said.
“We’re taking it one day at a time.”
Frohnmayer has been on the East
Coast attending a series of confer
ences since Monday and arrived in
Bethesda on Wednesday for the
event. Frohnmayer served on the
National Institutes of Health advi
sory committee to the director.
Before coming to the Universi
ty, Frohnmayer was a former Ore
gon Attorney General, serving for
11 years until his resignation to be
come dean of the University’s
School of Law in 1992. Deputy At
torney General David Schuman,
who worked with Frohnmayer at
the Attorney General’s office and
as a law professor at the Universi
ty, said the news of Frohnmayer’s
condition quickly spread through
the office.
“He is clearly one of the most in
fluential and public figures of the
state,” he said.
Attorney General Hardy Mey
ers, who called Frohnmayer a
friend, said, “I know I speak for all
members of the Department of Jus
tice in saying that our former col
league Dave will be in our
thoughts and our prayers.”
A Medford native, Frohnmayer
lives in Eugene with his wife,
Lynn, and three children. The
Frohnmayers are founders of the
Fanconi Anemia Research Fund,
Inc. based in Eugene. Two of his
three daughters, Kirsten and Katie,
both died of Fanconi Anemia.
The Frohnmayers are also
founders of the Fanconi Anemia
support group, for similarly af
flicted families around the world,
and Frohnmayer is one of the
founding directors of the National
Marrow Donor Program.

Community reaction
Continued from Pagel
hearing the news. “He’s been a wonderful friend to us
at Lane and a leader to all of us in education. ”
As of Sunday afternoon, Frohnmayer remained in
serious condition after having been improved from
critical on Saturday, officials at Suburban Healthcare
System in Bethdsda,Md.,said.
Gov. John Kitzhaber, who was in Portland when he
heard of Frohnmayer’s heart attack, “was shocked to
hear the news,” spokesman Jon Coney said. “His
thoughts are with the Frohnmayer family.”
As the news of Frohnmayer’s condition spread
across campus Friday, University students and fac
ulty reacted.
“Certainly everyone in the School of Journalism
and the University community is thinking of the
Frohnmayers, and our prayers and wishes are with
Dave,” Tim Gleason, dean of the journalism school
said. “We certainly hope for a speedy recovery. ”
ASUO President Wylie Chen issued a statement on
behalf of the student body:
“In his years as our president, Frohnmayer has been
dedicated and responsive to student issues. We en
courage students to support the Frohnmayer family
through this difficult time. He will continue to be in our
thoughts, and our condolences go out to his family.”
Frohnmayer has spent the last week off campus, at
tending conferences around the country including
the American Association of Universities in Colum
bus, Ohio, on Monday.
“He’s all the way in Maryland, and that’s horrible,” *
Melissa Unger, vice chair of the student board for OS
PIRG, said. “I think that President Frohnmayer and
the administration have done a good job of making
sure that there is a solid administration on campus.”
The Frohnmayer family expressed gratitude for the
support of the community in a statement released Sat
urday.
“Our family is profoundly grateful for an over
whelming outpouring of support. We continue to be
touched deeply by these expressions of concern.”
