(Then it was that) the WRC scares him because he believes they are anti-free trade. (Now D’Alemberte says) the WRC is an advocacy group, and the university doesn’t join advocacy groups,” he said. USAS national field organizer Amber Gallop, who works with many universities, said joining the WRC is the ethical choice. “I’m confident (FSU) eventually will be able to think about it in a ra tional way,” she said. FSU student government Vice President Patrick Sullivan said his administration supports student ac tivism but disagreed with the pro testers’ tactics. “I think it’s awesome that stu dents are passionate about human rights,” he said. Sullivan added that despite his support of ac tivism, he believes camping was the wrong way to go about inform ing students. Knight applied pressure In late April 2000, Nike CEO and University alumnus Phil Knight pulled all funding from the Univer sity of Oregon and vowed never to give money again — a direct re sponse to Frohnmayer committing the University to the WRC. During that summer, Frohnmay er made a sudden reversal of his prior decisions and joined the FLA. Many students and groups, such as the Human Rights Commission, de cried the decision, saying he failed to act in a democratic way. A week later, University Gener al Counsel Melinda Grier, who ex amined the WRC charter, recom mended to Frohnmayer that the University not pay dues to the group because she said it was nei ther incorporated nor a non-profit organization. Since the University is a public institution, she contended, state law bars it from giving money to a group like the WRC. Following Gri er’s opinion, Frohnmayer an nounced he would not pay the dues necessary to become an offi cial member of the WRC. When stu dents objected, Frohnmayer said the University had never actually been a member of the WRC, and therefore accusations that it was dropping out were inaccurate. In February 2001, the State Board of Higher Education adopted a poli cy saying all schools in the OUS system must “conduct business in a straightforward and politically impartial manner.” The decision negated the University’s affiliation with the WRC and the FLA, barring them from joining such groups in the future, and dissolved the code of conduct drafted by the LCCC for corporations using the University logo. The debate over the Universi ty’s enrollment into the WRC essen tially ended. On March 6, 2001, Frohnmayer officially cut all ties with the WRC and FLA. The following Septem ber, Phil Knight announced he would continue funding the new Autzen project.
