Gerik Kransky of The Street Trust, a Portland nonprofit that advocates for EUGENE — After five straight years of seeing its undergraduate enrollment shrink, the University of Oregon is spending heavily on an ambitious new recruit- ment drive. University leaders hope to expand the undergraduate student body by as many as 3,000 during the next eight years, from a projected 19,000 this fall to more than 22,000 in 2025. Those added students will have one thing in common: They’ll all come from out of state, according to the UO administration’s financial projections. The UO already has hired five new full-time high- school-student recruiters who will be based in other states, in addition to two existing recruiter positions. This academic year, the school also will increase its recruiting “presence” — typically meaning visits by UO staffers — in as many as 20 other states in the West, Midwest, South and on the East Coast. In total, the school’s annual admissions budget has been upped by $1.3 million, or almost 30 percent. Some of those extra dollars will go DISH DEALS!! 190 Channels $ . 99 /mo.

The UO and other public universities across the country have been enrolling more and more of them for more than a decade — a practice that at times has drawn criticism. The UO’s goal is largely financial: Out-of-state students pay much higher tuition in an era when taxpayer support for Oregon public universities has sagged. This school year, a full-time nonresident student will pay $34,611 in tuition at the UO, compared with $11,571 for an Orego- nian. Adding the projected 3,000 nonresident students by 2025 could boost the UO’s annual tuition revenue by $100 million at current rates. Snagging high-achieving high schoolers from other states can also help boost a university’s academic prestige. In the past decade, the UO’s nonresident under- graduate population has doubled, from 4,600 in the 2007-08 school year to 9,249 in 2016-17, going up almost every year.

California, for example, this May adopted a strict nonresident cap for its popular and prestigious public universities after a state audit found that Californian college-age youth had been hurt by the increase in out-of-state and international student admis- sions. UO officials insist they have no favoritism for out-of-staters — although the number of in-state students at the UO has slipped every year since 2011. “There’s never been a time in our history that we’ve taken a resident’s spot and given it to a nonresident” student, UO President Michael Schill said in a recent interview. “We’re never going to do that.” So far, some numbers bear that out. The UO continues to take the vast majority of Oregon high school graduates who apply. Its in-state acceptance rate has hovered between 82 and 87 percent since 2007, but hasn’t shown a downward trend in recent years. That’s much higher than the rates for out-of-state or interna- tional applicants.

Testimony submitted in favor of the bill by the city of Beaverton indicated that in a recent one-year stretch, the Portland suburb recorded more than 90,000 “trips” through their red-light cameras that would have qualified for a speeding ticket under the new law. And that’s with just four intersections with red-light cameras. City officials from Portland and Medford also testified in favor of the measure earlier this year. flat, between 3,700 and 4,200 students. From 2007 to 2016, Oregon State University and Portland State Univer- sity also rapidly drew in more out-of-staters: OSU’s out-of-state undergraduate population jumped from 2,302 to 9,055, while PSU’s went from 10,829 to 15,060. But the UO stands out for having the largest percentage of out-of-state students — 46.1 percent of undergraduates in the 2016-17 school year — among Oregon’s seven public universities. That breakdown wasn’t yet avail- able for this year’s projected undergraduate student body, UO officials said Friday. Public universities’ pursuit of out-of-state students has at times raised eyebrows across the country. Critics worry that, by acting more like private schools, universities are shifting away from their public purpose: helping low- and middle-income families from their own states receive a top-class education. The key barometer for that criticism has always been: Is the growing number of out-of-state students impeding in-state high school graduates from rain 20s Yesterday’s National Extremes: (for the 48 contiguous states) High 94° in Cordele, Ga.

Red-light cameras can now be used to ticket speeders bicyclists and pedestrians, applauded the change. “Speed is one of the largest contrib- uting factors to the severity of an injury, if someone is in a crash,” he said. “And any opportunity we have to enforce safe speeds is an opportunity to create safe streets.” Any speeding ticket issued under the law will need to be reviewed by a police officer before a citation is issued. That could serve as a limiting factor to the overall number of speeding tickets issued 0s showers t-storms Copyright © 2017, EO Media Group By CHRIS LEHMAN Oregon Public Broadcasting -0s Classified & Legal Advertising 1-800-962-2819 or 541-278-2678 classifieds@eastoregonian.com or legals@eastoregonian.com NEWS • To submit news tips and press releases: • call 541-966-0818 • fax 541-276-8314 • email news@eastoregonian.com • To submit community events, calendar items and Your EO News: email community@eastoregonian.com or call Tammy Malgesini at 541-564-4539 or Renee Struthers at 541-966-0818. • To submit engagements, weddings and anniversaries: email rstruthers@eastoregonian.com or visit www.eastoregonian. com/community/announcements • To submit a Letter to the Editor: mail to Managing Editor Daniel Wattenburger, 211 S.E.

The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that Deputy Martin Watson was cleared of wrongdoing on Monday. Watson had attempted to pull over a car on Sept. 30 with 18-year-old Jeremy Johnson and 31-year-old Timothy George in it when a chase began. Marion County Deputy District Attorney Matthew Kemmy said the chase ended in Northeast Salem, at which point a “confrontation” occurred and Watson fired twice at the car. Neither Johnson, George nor Watson were injured. Johnson is charged with first-degree attempted assault, attempted assault on a public safety officer and unlawful use of a weapon. George is charged with felon in possession of a firearm and possession of methamphetamine. Woman wakes to find bear in living room SUMPTER (AP) — A woman in Oregon forgot to latch her front door and awoke to find a 160-pound bear in her living room. The Baker City Herald reports that the bear knocked over a bookshelf but didn’t harm the 78-year-old woman. The 3-year-old male bear was trapped and euthanized late last week by state wildlife officials. Authorities have determined it was the same bear that was shot in the face last month by another startled resident who found it on his front porch. It’s the third bear trapped and killed around Sumpter — population 204 — since Sept. 23. Brian Ratliff, a wildlife biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, says bears may be coming into more contact with humans because a dry summer limited their supply of berries.
