coe-staff: UO Hold on Messaging regarding EOs

[Laura Lee McIntyre]

Dear all,

Many have understandably expressed concerns and confusion regarding the executive orders.  This is a quickly evolving space, so there may be moment-to-moment guidance from leadership.

For now, I’ll share a message that was crafted by university executive leadership:

UO Hold on Messaging regarding Executive Orders: For those with questions about potential statements from the UO regarding the national change of administration and recent Executive Orders: At this time, the university does not have a statement or plans to issue a statement in response to executive orders. The UO administration has shared that they have convened a dedicated group of university leaders with expertise across a wide array of fields working to better understand the impact of executive orders and agency requests and to share appropriate direction with departments and colleges at UO.



The UO has restated their commitment to remaining focused on the University of Oregon's institutional mission: to educate, discover, and serve our community and remains committed to building a flourishing community enriched by diversity of perspective, ability, experience, thought, identity, and background.

I have copied our VP and General Counsel, Kevin Reed, and Special Counsel for Research, Ethics & International Affairs, Jessica Price for their awareness. I defer specific questions/concerns to them.

I am standing by ready for additional information and guidance, when it is available and will share this expeditiously.

Best,
Laura Lee
