continued from page 1
the timing of the two visits was
purely coincidental.
Kulongoski spent most of the
hour-long meeting focusing on
education.
“Oregon has not yet figured out
a way to look at education holisti
cally,” Kulongoski said, referring
to what he called a “split between
K-12 and higher education.” He
said the future of Oregon is in
higher education, and he admired
the role community colleges have
taken in being “student-focused.”
But he said that Oregon has not
placed a high enough priority on
higher learning.
The candidate said higher edu
cation’s funding problems are
due, in part, to a heavy depend
ence on K-12 systems as a fix to
Oregon’s problems.
“When families and churches
fail, we’ve asked schools to pick
up the slack,” Kulongoski said.
He added that Oregon isn’t able to
do its job correctly right now be
cause the political system isn’t
working right.
“You cannot govern by the ini
tiative process,” he said. “We take
so much time and energy trying to
defeat them, we can’t focus on the
issues right now.”
Ultimately, Kulongoski conclud
ed that increasing money for Ore
gon’s colleges
and having a
balanced budg
et might in
volve raising
taxes in the
long run.
“What the
governor has
tried to focus
on is the long
term view, and
$830 million
may not be the bottom number,”
he said.
The former lawyer, who has
been a state legislator, Oregon’s at
torney general and most recently
an Oregon Supreme Court justice,
listened as students asked ques
tions about topics ranging from the
pollution of the Willamette River
to assisted suicide.
“To get people to change their
conduct, you have to make them
want to change,” he said, referring
to the farmers and businesses who
are partly responsible for the pol
lution of the river.
Kulongoski also voiced support
for Oregon’s Death with Dignity Law.
“I believe Attorney General
Ashcroft is wrong and will lose the
litigation he’s involved in,” he said.
Jacob DeAngelo, a coordinator
for OSPIRG, said he hopes Kulon
goski will continue to fight pollu
tion in the Willamette River.
“The issue is a problem that af
fects most Oregonians. It’s long
overdue for a major cleanup ef
fort,” he said.
LGBTQA co-director Maddy
Melton said the candidate’s focus
on rights for minorities might earn
her vote.
“I’m interested in finding out
what part he took in an equal
rights bill in the 70s,” Melton said,
referring to legislation Kulongoski
spoke about during the meeting.
Linman said that Kulongoski’s
focus on colleges and universities
was refreshing.
“Oregon has the perception
that we’re supposed to focus on
K-12. Once they graduate we for
get about them,” Linman said.
“To not invest in these people is
utterly ridiculous.”
