University of Oregon: Pursuing excellence in a state committed to mediocrity | OregonLive.com

University of Oregon: Pursuing excellence in a state committed to mediocrity | OregonLive.com:

An uphill battle, obviously. I remember in the 70s when I was a grad student and Utah State (!) stole away Barre Toelken, the popular folklore scholar, giving him all the academic freedom and support he wasn't getting in Eugene, and more money to boot.. It's easy to steal the best Oregon professors because U of O is ranked 46th among public universities, a shameful statistic.
