Q: How do you plan on helping stu
dents afford college when scholarship
funding in this state is being cut?
A: By not cutting it. I think we have
to grow the scholarship funding. It’s
the flip side of the tuition question.
We have to make sure education is af
fordable for all students and I want to
make sure every single Oregon stu
dent has access to a college education.
That means adequate scholarship
funds. It’s about growing the Oregon
economy so instead of 8 percent un
employment we go down to 4 per
cent. We’d have a lot more revenue in
the state that we could deal with, and
make education our top priority.
Q: Oregon universities are facing
record enrollment rates, and at the
same time binding is being cut. How
do you propose Oregon Universities
keep a high quality of education?
A: We can’t keep on cutting the
binding of it and expect them to
keep a high quality of education. We
have to look at higher education as
one of the most important invest
ments we make. It is an investment
in our economy as well as an invest
ment in our students. As we grow
the economy, we have to invest
more in education, and even before
we grow the economy we have to
treat higher education as a top prior
ity. I think that’s the right attitude.
Q: How do you plan on making
yourself accessible to students if
you're elected?
A: I would expect to continue vis
iting university campuses, I would

expect to appoint students to serve
on various boards and commis
sions, I would expect to regularly
seek out opportunities to meet with
students and I would expect to have
a very aggressive and significant in
ternship program that got students
active in working in my offices.
Q: Do you think Oregon's educa
tion system is adequately preparing
students for college?
A: I think there’s a lot of wonderful
teachers doing a good job. But we are
not doing a good enough job. All
around the state you have teachers
who I think are doing heroic jobs to
prepare students. And I think the re
sult is: Many, many students come
out of our system very well prepared.
We have high SAT scores, on average,
and there’s a lot of things we should
be proud of. So individually, many
schools are doing an excellent job of
educating students. But overall, we
are leaving too many students behind.
Q: What should this state do to
keep Oregon’s top students at in
state colleges and universities?
A: It has to offer the programs that
make people want to go to school
here. We have to have a university
system that offers the range and
quality of programs that make stu
dents believe this is the place they
want to choose. You can’t force peo
ple to come here; you have to con
vince them they want to be here.
