University of Oregon celebrates new Portland campus amid $30 million budget shortfall

UO alumnus Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Beaverton, said she is heartened to see the university continuing to invest in education despite the hostile rhetoric coming from the White House.

“It’s important and critical that we continue to open the doors of opportunity to higher education, especially at this moment. Higher education is under attack,” Bonamici said at Thursday’s event. “What better investment can we make than in education?”
