Q: Do you support higher pay for
university faculty?
A: Absolutely. I am keenly aware
of the fact that our faculty, for de
gree and doctoral degree granting
institutions, we’re some of the low
est paid in the country.
Q: How do you plan on helping
students afford college when
scholarship funding in this state is
being cut?
A: Again, it really does come
back to resources. It’s my senti
ment that we stop the cuts that are
occurring in scholarships, but
again, we’re paying the price for
bad fiscal management. We were
not prepared for this recession.
(As governor) I’d have the capabil
ity to help stimulate the economy
and manage things better, and one
of those priorities would be to re
store those scholarships.
Q: Oregon universities are fac
ing record enrollment rates, and at
the same time funding is being
cut. How do you propose that Ore

gon universities keep a high quali
ty of education?
A: Whenever times get bad in the
job market, you have to understand
people will use that as an opportu
nity to go back to school. Unfortu
nately, we were not as prepared for
the recession as we should have
been. When those kinds of situa
tions occur, you have more stu
dents and less money. I would be
wanting to certainly get the econo
my back on track so we can get the
revenues again. There is no quick
fix for the situation. My sentiment,
of course, is we do everything to
keep the quality of our universities
up in every way. I’d say one of the
things that might be appropriate to
do is this: For every kind of infra
structure project you have on cam
pus, issue bonds for those projects;
what can happen is the cash you
have on hand you can use for other
things that you might have used for
the infrastructure projects. So you
can free up cash to use for other
things for the university.
Q: How do you plan on making
yourself accessible to students if
you’re elected?
A: I would first of all look for
ward to coming and visiting the
universities. At the same time, I’d
always be very open as well to hav
ing (students) come to Salem if
they had any issues they wanted to
talk about. I feel it’s very important
to stay in contact with students. It’s
really important to see that there
are some good opportunities for
when people graduate. Just know
that I enjoy visiting the campuses
and will always want to know
what the concerns of the students
are. I do honestly look at it as, you
young people are going to be com
ing out of school and you’re going
to be the people who are going to
move this state forward, and that’s
why it’s important for you all to get
a good education.
Q: Do you think Oregon’s public
education system is adequately
preparing students for college?
A: I believe that it’s doing a de
cent job. You can certainly always
do a better job. With the Certificate
of Initial Mastery and the Certifi
cate of Advanced Mastery, the issue
there is we’re implementing some
thing and not putting any resources
with it. You put a very heavy bur
den on teachers who are already
heavily burdened.
Q: What should this state do to
keep Oregon’s top students at in
state colleges and universities?
A: One of the obvious issues is
cost. If you can help keep the cost
of a good education down at uni
versities, our students are likely to
stay. But as you know, as tuition
goes up, it gets to a certain point
where there’s not much differential
between staying in the state and
leaving to go to college. A big com
ponent comes down to cost, and, of
course, the other component of it is
the quality of instruction students
are going to get. If you’re going to
keep your best students here, you
got to have good programs.
