participated in the organization's pro
grams. Ihe University offers about 80
study abroad programs, including the
AI1A programs, in 50 countries. Mills
said about 700 University students
spend time abroad each year.
While the group's employees are
now University employees, AHA will
keep its office in Portland and will
operate independently from the Of
fice of International Programs.
Al LA's International's Executive Di
rector Bob Selby said AI 1A was former
ly unable to give students — especial
ly those from universities outside the
consortium — credit for classes they
take while abroad. Now, students will
now be able to get University credit.
"We hope to vasdy expand our na
tional audience," Selby said. 1 le added
that AI 1A will benefit the University by
bringing an extensive network of oth
er schools, saying AI lA's high enroll
ment numbers and support base will
allow it to keep expenses low and sup
port its programs for many years.
AI lA's Director of Finance and Ad
ministration Harmony George said
the partnership also allows AHA to
be more independent and work with
committees at individual universities

to develop new programs.
"We hope to offer courses for a
broad range of students who might
have special interests," George said.
She added the organization also
wants to work with professors and
departments to facilitate special
study programs that cater to partic
ular academic needs.
According to George, AHA chose to
seek a closer affiliation with the Univer
sity because of proximity and a long,
rich relationship with the University.
George said the University has
been AHA's biggest client, and the or
ganization would benefit from the
stability of being associated with an
institution of the University's caliber.
"We have worked long and well
with the University and the Office of
International Programs," she said.
In the same vein, Selby said AHA
recognizes the University's commit
ment to international education.
"It's identified right at the top of
the list of the University's mission,"
he said.

Economy
continued from page 1
the non-state funding goes toward paying graduate stu
dent research assistants and technical support staff. Lin
ton also dted a U S. Department of Commerce report
which showed that for every million dollars spent in
academic research in Oregon, 47 jobs are supported.
"That makes for quite a few jobs that $75 mil
lion is supporting," Unton said.
The University of Oregon Factbook states that the
University is Lane County's largest employer and con
tributes nearly $400 million a year to the Eugene
economy through direct spending, employee payroll,
construction contracts and student spending.
Research at the University spurred the creation
of start-up companies that help support 250 jobs
at the Riverfront Research Park, Linton said, adding
that the University is on the verge of creating sever
al more companies that will contribute to Eugene's
growing economy.
"I think there is a growing spirit of partnership

and cooperation with the University and Eugene,"
Linton said. "We're working more with local
groups and businesses to increase recruitment and
business within the area."
The Milken report also cited economic diversity,
high standards of living, and the presence of pri
vate, government and university-based research
laboratories as significant factors of healthy
economic development. The report can be viewed
