now prescribe birth control after the patient
completes a 20-question risk-screening as-
sessment. In June, Brown signed another
measure that requires insurance companies
to cover up to 12 months of birth control at
a time, allowing women fewer visits to the
pharmacy.
Under a so-called motor voter law, an
Oregon resident who interacts with the
Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Divi-
sion, but hasn’t’ registered to vote, will
automatically receive a ballot in the mail
at least 20 days before the next statewide
election. It’s expected to add about 300,000
new voters to the rolls.
Lawmakers also managed to expand
background checks for private gun sales
in May and approved a bill requiring com-
panies with at least 10 employees to give
their workers paid sick days so employees
will no longer have to choose between re-
covering from an illness or preserving their
paycheck. Both bills were signed by the
governor.
The Oregon Legislature is expected to
return in five months to begin next year’s
session.

New Dean Brings Diverse Experience
Warner Pacific
names new
administrator
Warner Pacific College has wel-
comed Rev. Dr. Reginald Nichol
as its new Vice President for Ac-
ademic Affairs and Dean of Fac-
ulty, a position that plays a critical
role in developing partnerships
with local high schools and com-
munity colleges, providing over-
sight of academic polices and cur-
riculum as well as serving as the
chief accreditation officer.
Nichols brings 30 years of di-
verse experience in improving
student learning, empowering
urban communities, facilitating
study abroad, serving first-gen-
eration students, and fundraising,
college officials said.
Dr. Andrea Cook, president of
Rev. Dr. Reginald Nichols
Warner Pacific, said, “I believe God
called Dr. Nichols to Warner Pacific
College for ‘such a time as this.’ His
proven gifts in administration, edu-
cational program management, and
fund development will support the
college’s rich tradition of providing
Christ-centered, liberal arts edu-
cation to our students.”
Dr. Nichols received his Bache-
lor of Arts from Gordon College in
Wenham, Mass. He holds a Master
of Divinity in Marriage and Fam-
ily Counseling from Fuller Theo-
logical Seminary in Pasadena,
Calif., and a Doctor of Education
in Organization and Leadership
– International and Multicultural
Education from the University of
San Francisco.
He has written and presented
extensively on topics related to
student achievement and engaging
urban families through education,
community partnership, develop-
ment, and strategic planning.
Warner Pacific students will of-
ficially meet Dr. Nichols during
the College’s Welcome Weekend
at the end of August when classes
resume.
