Panel addresses
WRC concerns
■ The University Senate Review Panel focuses attention on
University and community voices relating to the WRC
By Kristy Hessman
Oregon Daily Emerald
The letters W-R-C have created
quite a bit of controversy on the
University campus in the past sev
eral months.
Last May, in an attempt to quell
this controversy, President of the
University Senate, Professor James
Earl, established a subcommittee to
monitor the
Worker Rights
Consortium. It
also will ad
vise the Uni
versity Senate
as it looks over
the issue this
fall.
■“It is a three
■ ■
Worker
Consortium
person com
mittee,”
David Frank, the Committe’s Chair,
said. “We are expecting some fruit
ful discussions and through our re
search we hope to provide the Uni
versity Senate Committee with
guidance on how to handle this de
bate.”
The committee, which is now be
ing referred to as a University Sen
ate Review Panel, is currently in the
process of gathering information
and opinions from people associat
ed with the University.
“There is a mailing going on in
which the panel is seeking informa
tion from alumni and trustees,”
Duncan McDonald, vice president
for public affairs and development,
said.
The goal of the solicitation is to
gather the thoughts and concerns
people have with the issue.
“It is an invitation designed to en
courage people to codify opinions
that will be submitted to the Senate
for review,” Frank said.
Including the responses from
university affiliates, the panel is
also researching letters to editors,
relevant articles in periodicals, fac
ulty member input and advice from
knowledgeable experts in the field.
“We are looking at all of the is
sues raised and being raised in
monitoring products with the Uni
versity of Oregon insignia,” Frank
said.
After the panel has completed
their research, they will present the
information before the Senate.
“We will probably meet with the
Senate sometime during the fall
quarter and have a discussion about
what we have discovered,” Frank
said. “We want the Senate to be able
to have a good, clear, rational de
bate.”
In addition to the panel members
learning more about the outside
views oa the issue, the members
themselves said they are also learn
ing the depth of this issue.
“I am discovering how complex
this issue really is,” Frank said.
Director

again establishes the goal to have
the position filled in time for fall.
Erica Fuller-Schindler, a doctor
al student from the University of
Florida, was one of the original ap
plicants for the position. After pre
sentations, interviews and discus
sions, the committee named
Fuller-Schindler as first choice.
However, for personal reasons,
she declined the position.
This past week, Fuller
Schindler notified the committee,
expressing her interest again in the
position. An informal group in
cluding representatives from the
ASUO, Office of Multicultural Af
fairs and the hiring committee met
Wednesday to discuss further
progress.
“I’m very glad the search is com
ing to a conclusion, and I antici
pate the students will be very hap
py as well,” said Randy Choy,
Assistant Director of the Office of
Multicultural Affairs.
The strengths discussed in
Fuller-Schindler’s candidacy in
cluded her prior work with stu
dents and an overwhelming sup
port from the University student
constituents.
With her reapplication, Fuller
Schindler was informed the cur
rent opening is now for an interim
director, rather than a permanent
director.
“Erica understood that we’re
looking for an interim director,
and would love to fill it,” said Pe
ter Larson, a representative from
theASUO.
Another benefit of the possibili
ty of hiring Fuller-Schindler that
was discussed was the availability
to make the transition from inter
im director to permanent director
without conducting another full
fledged search.
According to Larson, if Fuller
Schindler filled the spot and it
was decided there was an interest
in her continuation into a perma
nent position, the documented pa
perwork from the previous nation
al search would be sufficient.
If selected, Fuller-Schindler’s
plans for the MCC would be to
serve as director for a period of five
years, before opening her own or
ganization to work with mothers
who demonstrate financial need.
“Additional people need to be
consulted,” said Director of Stu
dent Activities Greg Lobisser. “My
goal is to make this hire at the
soonest possible point, hopefully
before the week is out.”

finding a cure for the disease,”
Long said.
U-Lane-0 employees will also
recognize the project by wearing T
shirts that highlight the cause.
“Every little bit helps,” Castillo
said. “We are hoping to raise about
$2,000-$3,000.”
Dave and Lynn Frohnmayer
founded the Fanconi Anemia Re
search Fund in 1989. They have lost
two daughters to the disease and it
now threatens their youngest
daughter, 13-year-old Amy.
“U-Lane-0 does many of these
types of projects,” President Dave
Frohnmayer said. “It is really a
grass roots community effort. It is
very heartwarming.”
Since the foundation of the
Fund, more than $8.5 million has
been raised to help support med
ical research. From this research, at
least eight genes responsible for the
disease have been discovered, and
survival rates for certain types of
bone marrow transplantations
have dramatically improved.
