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

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.

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.”

The Oregon Department of Forestry has
declared that fire season is over for pro-
tected lands in its Central Oregon District.
The department terminated fire season as
of 12:01 a.m. Friday, after cooler weather
and moist conditions in the past few weeks
have reduced fire danger in the Central
Oregon District. That district encompasses
three separate units, the Prineville area, The
Dalles area, and the John Day area.
Though fire season is officially over,
the Forest Service said landowners and the
public must still be careful during work
and recreation activities, such as operating

“We live and work in an environment
prone to wildfires; termination of fire sea-

gone,” said Rob Pentzer, acting district for-
ester for the Central Oregon District.
Since the beginning of 2018, humans
have caused 74 fires in the Central Oregon
