SEIU 503 represents classified staff at all seven public universities, which is why I understand the importance of working in tandem, instead of each institution being pitted against each other. The public universities are supposed to be for the public, and
for our students, not solely for the benefit of leadership, research, etc. This really seems to boil down to an aversion to potential resource sharing, which is sad, but exposes how capitalism has impacted our collective view on "public" education. </div>

This is larger than a "frustration" with the BOT; It is the lack of transparency, fairness, and efforts made in good faith by the BOT and leadership. The BOT took over around 2015, and that means it's been<b><i>

I thought there would be more concern about "duplicate programs" than financial resource sharing... It's an opportunity for growth; why would we have duplicate programs across all seven universities? Why not make them unique to draw more students and prepare

The primary reason being offered for endorsing HB4124 seems to be dissatisfaction with the Board of Trustees' fiscal oversight of the university. This is a valid dissatisfaction. </div>

However, the premise seems to be that where faculty governance is concerned, the Board of Trustees system is hopeless and anything would be better. Proponents of HB4124 seem to presume HECC would be more responsive to UO faculty concerns about the budget.
I see no evidence or reason to believe that this would be so. </div>

There are, however, reasons to believe it would not be so. 1) This would be a reversion to a centralized form of board oversight that did not respond well to the needs of UO and UO faculty in the past. 2) HECC is responsible for serving a much larger group
of institutions and therefore in their deliberations UO faculty needs would be competing with the needs of WOU, EOU, SOU, PSU, and OIT faculty and programs. HECC has historically had a very egalitarian approach to supporting Oregon's higher education institutions,
treating them all as the same, not recognizing UO's distinctive status as a leading research institution. 3) There is reason to believe this bill was motivated by a desire to find a way to protect institutions like SOU, EOU, and WOU from fiscal exigency—this
could come at UO's expense, or the expense of some UO programs. 4) If the Bill passes what we are most likely to see is a muddle of Board and HECC oversight that would be more difficult for faculty to navigate and influence, not a clear and transparent system
responsive to our voice. </div>

The real questions is not just whether we are frustrated with our current Board of Trustees, but whether we feel we have a better chance to influence UO's board of Trustees or HECC. Since UO's Trustees are charged with serving the interests of UO alone, this
seems like the better option for those interested in enhancing the influence of UO faculty on our fiscal governance , however recalcitrant they are. It is not a great option, but it is better than putting that fiscal management even further away from our
institution.</div>

Our Board of Trustees is still very young. And the efforts of our Union and our Senate to influence the composition of that board are also very young—arguably it has only recently gotten underway. Letting our frustration with the current board cause us to
rush to embrace HECC and HB4124 seems short sighted in my opinion. It is the "hasty" option. In the effort to ensure some reasonable faculty input into UO's fiscal management, I believe we should be playing the long game--which would be sticking with current
local governance processes and trying to make them work for us.</div>
