NORTHWEST East Oregonian Page 2A Friday, October 12, 2018 UO aims for another billion in fundraising EUGENE (AP) — The University of Oregon has upped its ambitious fund- raising goals, seeking to bring in another billion dollars over the next sev- eral years. The Register-Guard reports that UO President Michael Schill says half of the money would go to pay for the Knight cam- pus., matching the $500 million coming from Nike co-founder Phil Knight and his wife, Penny. The rest of the money would pay for projects and services around the uni- versity, including a new 60,000-square-foot class- room building, schol- arships for low-income Oregonians, and student advising. The UO announced the initial campaign in October 2014, and the new fund- raising goal raises the tar- get from $2 billion to $3 billion. The school hasn’t set an exact timeline for the campaign. The UO isn’t alone in its mission to raise bil- lions — other large pub- lic research universities in the West have similar goals, according to Inside Higher Ed, an online pub- lication covering college Andy Nelson/The Register-Guard via AP Andy Nelson/The Register-Guard via AP Work is well underway at the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact on the University of Oregon campus Wednesday in Eugene. and university topics. The University of Wash- ington in Seattle launched its campaign in 2016 and intends to raise $5 billion by 2020, according to the publication. It has raised $4.93 billion so far. The money will go toward stu- dent aid and faculty sup- port, Inside Higher Ed reports. The University of Utah in Salt Lake City began its campaign in 2018 and plans to raise $2 billion by 2022, Inside Higher Ed says. So far, the univer- sity has brought in $1 bil- lion from donors, with the money planned for improv- ing student experience and biomedical research. Of the additional $1 bil- lion the UO hopes to raise, about $100 million would go to the PathwayOregon program, Schill said. The program provides financial support for low-income, high-academic students who are Oregon residents.

NATIONAL WEATHER TODAY Potential relatives to help ID family that went off cliff PORTLAND (AP) — Authorities in Northern California are speaking with peo- ple who say they are biologically related to one of six children presumed dead when their adopted mother Jennifer Hart drove them and her wife off a cliff in March. The Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office says potential relatives of 16-year-old Han- nah Hart contacted them to help identify human remains found near the crash scene. Scientists previously compared DNA from the remains with samples from Han- nah’s biological siblings, Markis and Abi- gail, but the results were inconclusive. Oregon news outlets report Mendocino County sheriff’s spokesperson Lt. Shan- non Barney said the office is now working with Hannah’s potential blood relatives to obtain DNA samples. Hannah and her 15-year-old brother Devonte Hart have been unaccounted for since the vehicle was found. Authorities recovered the bodies of Jennifer Hart and Sarah Hart, along with siblings Markis, Jeremiah, Abigail and Sierra. Body found on Mount Hood identified as missing Arizona hiker MOUNT HOOD (AP) — Authorities say a body found on Mount Hood has been identified as a 30-year-old Arizona hiker who had been reported missing on Monday. The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office says a climber happened to spot the body of Phoenix resident David Yaghmourian Thursday morning at about 8,300 feet on the mountain. The sheriff’s office says there was snow in the area and that his body was found out- side the search area and at a higher level than expected. Sheriff’s Sgt. Sean Collinson says he may have been hypothermic. Authorities say Yaghmourian was hik- ing with a friend when they got separated and were supposed to reunite at Timberline Lodge. While earlier reports said Yaghmourian had injured his leg, Collinson says it’s now understood that he was fatigued and had a sore knee. Oregon GOP ask for ethics investigation into Brown campaign PORTLAND (AP) — The Oregon Republican Party has filed a complaint with the state’s ethics commission, asking for an investigation into whether Demo- cratic Gov. Kate Brown used public funds for campaign purposes after a video from a conservative activist surfaced. James O’Keefe, founder of the nonprofit Project Veritas, is best known for unscrupu- lous tactics like videotaping people with- out their knowledge — usually left-leaning groups and candidates. O’Keefe released what appeared to be secretly recorded vid- eos of Michael Kolenc, who was Brown’s former campaign manager. Oregon Public Broadcasting reports that Kolenc was reportedly fired in 2016 for mismanaging Brown’s campaign budget. In the video, he accused Brown of misman- aging state agencies. Jeanne Atkins, chair of the Democratic Party of Oregon, said “Michael Kolenc is a disgruntled and discredited political oper- ative who was fired years ago and moved to Texas. There’s nothing new in any of his griping that this sham group caught on hid- den camera.” Forest service declares fire season over in Central Oregon East Oregonian Shown are noon positions of weather systems and precipitation.
