Mentor, friend
Hello all. It is with tremen-
dous regret and sorrow that
I inform you of the passing
of former University of Or-
egon president Dave
Frohnmayer. He was a friend,
colleague and mentor.
Many will remember his
time as Oregon Attorney
General, and the landmark
decisions he was part of.
While many Native Ameri-
cans may disagree with his
decisions, one can certainly
admire his convictions and
the manner in which he de-
fended his opinions.
It was with the same con-
viction that he envisioned a
new University of Oregon
longhouse as the cornerstone
of a more diverse university.
Mr. Frohnmayer joined all
of us in creating the Univer-
sity of Oregon Native Ameri-
can Advisory Council, and
dedicated significant univer-
sity resources in the building
of the Many Nations
Longhouse.
During his time as univer-
sity president, he championed
countless Native American
initiatives and believed true
government-to-government
consultation starts with
friendship. Consultation is
not notification but partner-
ship—a sentiment I carry with
me today.
It was through his leader-
ship and support that the
University of Oregon has one
of the strongest Native
American programs in the
nation.
He will be remembered
fondly as a selfless leader—a
man of great conviction and
our friend. Sincerely,
Jason T. Younker, Ph.D.,
Coquille Indian Tribe, assis-
tant vice president and advi-
sor to the President on Sov-
ereignty and Government-to-
Government Relations, the
University of Oregon.
