The Office of General Counsel for the University of Oregon is circulating a six-page proposal for a Time, Place and Manner Rules for Campus Speech and Protest Activities policy. UO President Michael Schill announced the reasoning behind the policy on Friday.

The proposal, given to the Emerald by UO Vice President and General Counsel Kevin Reed, was delivered to the Board of Trustees secretary November 2 for input.

The Policy Advisory Committee will review a final proposal. If approved, the policy would move to the UO Senate for a vote. In Friday’s email, Schill wrote if a permanent policy is not in place within four months, he will enact a temporary policy.

UO does not have a policy that outlines the rules and regulations concerning protests, a point Reed addressed in an email to UCLA law professor and free speech advocate Eugene Volokh last month.

Reed wrote this leaves “the regulation of campus speech activities to the ad hoc discretion of various administrators in student life/event planning/campus operations/campus police, etc.�

The current standards for acceptable protest actions are listed in the Facilities Scheduling policy and Freedom of Inquiry and Free Speech policy.

The policy’s introduction says intends to reaffirm the university’s commitment to freedom of speech and expression while “simultaneously respecting the safety of speakers and audiences alike as well as the safe operation of the campus.�

The proposed policy states “it attempts to clearly define the line where protected conduct ends and civil disobedience begins.�

According to Section 8 of the proposed policy, all items used during protests must be attended

at all times. Section 9 provides restrictions on the size of signs, banners and placards that can be used.

Last April, administrators removed a Divest UO banner from the front of Johnson Hall.

According to administration, the sign was removed because it was left unattended in front of the building, not because of the message protestors were sending.

The proposed policy stipulates that any persons violating the policy will be subject to “institutional disciplinary proceedings,� including “an order to leave the immediate premises,� and may be cited or arrested for criminal trespass for failing to do so.

Section 12 details the appeals process for those who violate the proposed policy. It states that appeals may be made in writing within 10 days of the incident.

Appeals will be denied if the Office of the President, Chief of Staff or designee does not respond within 10 days of receiving the appeal.

The proposed policy will not supersede the rights of employee organizations such as the Graduate Teachers Fellowship Foundation.

Both OSU and UCLA have similar policies in place. “It’s not the world’s most perfect policy, but I do think it’s a lot more permissive than the policies at other campuses that I’ve ever looked at,� said Reed.

According to Reed, the ASUO has not endorsed the policy. “I shared several of the policies with ASUO, and they had problems with some of the wording,� said Reed.

Comments on the original posting of the draft on the UO Senate website indicated that some students, staff and community members saw issues with the current state of the proposal and the restrictions it would impose.

đ&#x;“– COVER

Running With Cerebral Palsy #NoSuchThingAsADisability ➥

R O M A I N E S O H , @ M A I N E TA I N P L S

If you saw Justin Gallegos on the street, you’d think he looks just like any other loyal Ducks fan.

The Santa Clarita, California, native is almost always decked out in a green beanie with the iconic yellow ‘O’ emblazoned on the front. He usually sports a Nike shirt marked with the running clubs he idolizes – Bowerman Track Club, Nike Oregon Project Oregon Track Club Elite – and a pair of Nike Pegasus shoes.

Even before he got to the University of Oregon, Gallegos was inspiring runners across the country. Gallegos has cerebral palsy, which affects coordination and muscles, slowing movement. While more advanced CP can render the need for the use of a wheelchair and affect the ability to speak, Gallegos has a milder form of the condition. But he doesn’t let that stop him from competing for the UO Running Club. He is able to walk without assistance and run competitively.

When Gallegos was representing the club for the first time at the Charles Bowles Willamette Invitational in Salem on Oct. 1, he lost his shoe within the first 50 meters of the race in the chaos at the start. He stopped to pick it up, but the combination of the ticking clock and his desire to do well in his first collegiate race convinced him to continue with just one shoe. “He was about to run the whole damn race holding his shoe until everyone started yelling at him to just stop and put it on,� said teammate Kylen Fleishman. “He didn’t even waste a second. He just kept going.�

Gallegos finally paused to put his shoe on and went on to finish the 8-kilometer course in 42 minutes, 12.9 seconds.

Although Gallegos finished last out of 208 competitors, his presence never fails to make an impact on those watching him perfect his art. Fleishman, a sophomore, is one of many who feel inspired just by watching him run. “I’ve always been the guy on my team who would cheer for every member of the team, regardless of where they’re finishing,� Fleishman said. “But for Gallegos, it’s just another level.�

Gallegos, a freshman, started walking at the age of 2 but used a walker until kindergarten. He underwent physical therapy for many years, visiting the doctor two to three times a week to straighten his gait. “My feet are turned in because of the way I walk, and I’d fall every day or every other day,� he said.

Gallegos initially considered joining his high school football team, but his father, Brent Gallegos, persuaded him to try out for cross country. After Gallegos found his passion for running during his freshman year of high school, he grew stronger and more confident — and began dreaming of running at UO. “Before high school, I wasn’t as strong as I am today,� the Hart High graduate said. “I wasn’t as active and social as I

am now. I’m glad running has led me here.”

Gallegos was inspired by the running culture in Eugene, where Nike was founded. His former assistant coach went to UO as well as many former UO runners Gallegos admires.

Gallegos’ first order of business after enrolling at the university was joining the UO Running Club. In the first three weeks of the term, Gallegos showed up for almost every day of practice, even though attendance is not mandatory.

Sophomore Jake Willard, a coordinator for the running club, said Gallegos quickly became a source of inspiration for the club.

“You can see how much he loves and enjoys the club,” Willard said. “You can see it in the way he runs, the way he acts, the way he interacts with people. He’s a really heartfelt guy, and it’s really awesome to see how much he’s already brought to the club.”

Gallegos said he feels lucky to attend UO. He almost didn’t fulfill his dream of coming to Eugene because out-of-state tuition, housing and living expenses amount to around $50,000 a year, nearly eight times more than what it would cost for him to stay close to home.

Gallegos is no stranger to press coverage.

Established sports journalism websites ESPN

and FloTrack wrote about him. His high school classmate produced a documentary about him titled “No Such Thing As A Disability.” Since then, Gallegos has tagged all his Instagram photos with #NoSuchThingAsADisability.

It was Gallegos’ press coverage that caught the eye of John Truax, who works in the Nike running department. Truax offered to work with UO administration to help him raise funds for school. His first piece of advice for Gallegos was to set up a GoFundMe page, which has so far netted $10,970, enough to see him through his first quarter of college.

With Gallegos’ interest piqued, he and his father visited Oregon to meet some of the people who were supporting his cause.

It was “like a Disney movie,” Gallegos’ father said. They toured the Nike Beaverton campus and met the Nike-sponsored Olympians who trained there. The company also presented Gallegos with a check to supplement his college fund and tickets to the final day of the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene.

“We realized that there were enough people wanting to make this happen, and that was the turning point,” Gallegos’ father said. “It started out on faith. We still need to figure things out ...

when the second quarter rolls around, but there are some really good people that are on his team trying to make this happen.”

Gallegos hopes to have a scholarship set up under his name for those with disabilities who wish to represent the university’s sports clubs.

He is on track to declare journalism as his major, but his long-term goal is to become a sponsored athlete and someday represent the U.S. at the Paralympics, preferably in the 1,500 meters.

Gallegos would need to shave around two minutes off his personal record to meet the qualifying standard at the Paralympics.

“He’s game for anything, and that impresses me,” said Tom Heinonen, UO running club’s volunteer coach.

Earlier this year, the California Interscholastic Federation Track and Field State Championships introduced the Paralympic Games. Though Gallegos’ love for running lies in mile-and-above distances, the longest race hosted was the 400 meters. He ran anyway and emerged the champion for his division.

“The rise of disabled sport is bigger than people think it is,” Gallegos said. “I believe there’s going to come a time in high school athletics and the NCAA when they are going to integrate disabled athletes.”

“Before high school, I wasn’t as strong as I am today. I wasn’t as active and social as I am now. I’m glad running has led me here, to one of the greatest universities on the West Coast.”

đ&#x;“ŁLETTER TO THE EDITOR

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT SCHILL REGARDING NANCY SHURTZ’S USE OF BLACKFACE

This piece reflects the views of the author, Michael Hames-GarcĂ­a, and not those of Emerald Media Group. It has been edited by the Emerald for grammar and style. Send your columns or submissions about our content or campus issues to letters@dailyemerald.com.

November 4, 2016 Recent events at the University of Oregon have been troubling for many of us. I write to you as someone who identifies as neither black nor white, but who grew up in a nation built to a great extent by white violence against black people. I write in the hopes of contributing to a necessary, important, painful and extremely difficult conversation at our institution.

Part of the problem with blackface is that white people don’t know why it’s a problem. It’s impossible to understand why black people are so angered by its use unless one knows what it is that black people see when they see white people in blackface. From the perspective of the harm done, it doesn’t matter what the white person’s intention was.

Nothing about the history of what white people have done to black people and other people of color is shocking to people of color. We know white people hung, burned alive and dismembered not hundreds, but thousands of black men and women, indigenous men and women, Mexican, Chinese and Japanese men and women, and others for well over a hundred years. We know it was done with impunity. We know it was done publicly. We know they took genitalia from lynched men and women and collected them as souvenirs.

We know they posed for pictures and made postcards to commemorate the events. We know that blackface and other racial impersonations were forms of entertainment for white people that were part of a larger dehumanizing process that made lynching possible. We know that these impersonations never honored us.

Unfortunately, many white people don’t know these things.

They come to college and take a class about who-knowswhat to fulfill a multicultural requirement and come away singing “Kumbaya,� decide to have a “Mexican gangster� or “pimps and hoes� party at their sorority and don’t know why people of color are so sensitive about it.

The possibility that Shurtz’s act was done with no deliberate racist intent to harm makes it worse in my view.

It confirms everything I suspect and fear daily about the ignorance and callous disregard for black humanity among my colleagues and students. It makes me less likely to trust my white colleagues. It makes me dislike them. In that sense, you need to understand that Shurtz has injured you.

At the same time, I am taken aback by the University’s swift suspension of Shurtz. I don’t know if the suspension happened in consultation with her, and I understand that the University has stated this was not a disciplinary action.

PA G E 6

Let me be clear, Shurtz is not a young, uninformed undergraduate. She has been a professor almost as long as I’ve been alive. She grew up during the civil rights movement.

I find it very hard to accept any protestation of ignorance or statement of good intent from her. Do I find Shurtz’s behavior to be vile? Emphatically. Do I buy her protestations of goodwill? By no means. Do I join my Law School colleagues in calling for her to resign? With gusto. Her resignation would be the best, most productive action she could take, sparing the University, our students and her colleagues further trauma and embarrassment.

However, I fear there is a risk of scapegoating, with the effect that Shurtz is punished for the sins of many and outrage over her behavior evades discussion about what is, unfortunately, a common practice in U.S. society. This is the “bad apple� phenomenon that one sees in discussions of police shootings: You deal with the bad apple and pretend that the barrel isn’t rotten.

First, Shurtz could have had patently racist intent in donning blackface, but her suspension is still troubling.

Being a racist outside of work is not cause for dismissal.

As someone who teaches, writes on and speaks about controversial subjects, as someone who has been publicly critical of the university administration in the past, as someone who has more than once been called “racist� by white students after teaching them about the history of racism, I find Shurtz’s swift suspension chilling — not because I think she was misunderstood or had good intentions, but because I know how censuring of unpopular actions and words has historically affected women, people of color and queer people disproportionately.

Second, Shurtz’s actions are shocking in a university faculty context but frequently reenacted in Hollywood films, at undergraduate parties, at sporting events, at Halloween parties and in the costume section of Walmart. Indeed, if Shurtz were the only person to dress up in blackface (or redface or yellowface or brownface) in recent memory, the effect would not be as disconcerting. She is a symptom, and we make a grave, possibly fatal error when we treat only the symptom and leave untreated the underlying malady.

Respectfully, Michael Hames-GarcĂ­a Professor (and founding Department Head) of Ethnic Studies

• Set a goal. Perhaps it is talking to one employer or leaving with a better understanding of how the fair works. Your goal will help you stay focused and help you avoid getting overwhelmed.

• Meet with a professional in the Career Center. It is always good to have a sense of the skills and experiences you are looking to gain. A 30-minute conversation and perhaps a resume review can provide a great deal of clarity.

• Make a list of the top 5-10 organizations you are looking to talk to.

Look at their websites, get an understanding of what their organization is about, and research the opportunities they have available. Many employers are hiring for full-time positions and internships, many stay to conduct on-campus interviews with candidates the next day-Thursday 11/10. Sign-up now on DuckConnect for priority preselect interviews (10/30 DEADLINE).

• Write out and practice your answer to “tell me about yourself” or your introduction speech. Employers want to get to know you at the fair just as much as you want to get to know them. Reflect on your skills, experiences, and characteristics and put together a concise answer.

• Prepare questions for the employers. Balance asking technical questions about their internship like “when is the deadline to apply” and “what qualifications are you looking for” with exploratory questions like “what is the culture at your organization like” or “what do you like most about working here at your company?”

Attend a Career Fair Prep Session Thursday, 11/3 from 12:00pm-12:45pm Career Center Conference Room Monday, 11/7 from 12:00pm-12:45pm Career Center Conference Room

AT THE FAIR: • First, take a deep breath! The fair can seem overwhelming at first.

• Chat with Career Center staff. They are ready and excited to answer any questions you may have or give you a quick pep talk.

• Spend the first 10-15 minutes just walking through the fair. It is perfectly OK if you do your first round without talking to anyone.

Once you’re comfortable, start making connections.

• Make moves to reach your goal. Be confident and remember these are just conversations. If you first one does not go as you hoped, engage in another one.

• Get contact information from the employers you connect with.

AFTER THE FAIR: • Send thank you emails to the employers you connected with.

Even if you’re not looking for a job or internship opportunity right now, you are building relationships and creating a good impression for when you are.

• Meet with a professional at the Career Center again. Debrief how the fair went and determine what your next steps should be.

Perhaps you need to update your resume or rethink your career direction — we have the resources you need.

Come in during Drop-In Career Center Advising (Fall Term Hours) Mondays: 1:00pm-4:00pm Thursdays: 1:00pm-4:00pm Fridays: 2:00pm-4:45pm • Make an appointment with a career advisor/counselor. Call the Career Center at 541-346-3235.

Attend a Career Fair Prep Session Thursday, 11/3 from 12:00pm-12:45pm - Career Center Conference Room Monday, 11/7 from 12:00pm-12:45pm - Career Center Conference Room

AT THE FAIR: • Give yourself a brief pep talk (or stop by the Career Center table and let us give you one!) and find the employers you are interested in talking to on the map.

• Make connections! Start conversations with employers and talk about your skills/experiences, what you’re interested in, and ask questions.

• Do not get discouraged if the companies you are interested in are not offering internships/full-time positions at the time. The most important thing is to build a positive relationship with them and follow up.

• Get contact information for the employers you connect with.

AFTER THE FAIR: • Follow up! Send thank you emails to the employers you met. If you apply to a position they have open, let them know! Be sure to include something about you and the conversation you had to remind them who you are.

• Start preparing for interviews –set up a practice interview at the Career Center, and get those nerves out in a practice round before participating in the real deal.

• Follow up, again! Don’t reach out to the employers you met every week, but stay in contact with them. Perhaps you connected with them on LinkedIn after the fair. A month later, send them an email letting them know you’re still interested and excited about their organization.

Periodic follow-ups will keep you in the employer’s mind –they meet a lot of people, and you want them to remember you, for all the right reasons, of course.

Advice for after the fair…

So you made it through the fair … Next up interviews!

We asked Payal Shah from Fisher Investments how to handle all the scenarios that come your way.

How do you recommend a student deciding between multiple offers?

The student should consider the whole compensation package. This includes salary, bonuses, health benefits, 401k plans, work/life balance and so on. Also, the student should take into consideration the culture of the company and the growth opportunities that the company can offer. The student will be investing their time and future into this company just as much as the company is investing in them

SCENARIO 1:

SCENARIO 3:

You interview a student in November after meeting them at the Career Fair. After the student exceeds your expectations in several interviews, you extend them an offer to join your company in December. The student accepts the offer but decides to keep job searching to see what else is out there.

A student receives an offer from a company after interviewing with them at the Career Fair. They accept the offer but then receive an offer from another company the next day. The student would rather work for the second company, but they are worried about going back on a commitment they already made.

Should a student continue job searching after accepting a position?

How does a student balance being in the interview process with many companies at one time?

We encourage students to pursue and interview with as many companies as possible so that they can make the most informed and educated decision on a future employer. Once they do receive an offer from their top employer prospects they should commit to the one that offers the most value for the student. From an employer’s perspective, the company is looking to fill their open positions with their best candidates, so they would prefer their best candidates not accept and then withdraw their acceptance. If the student has any pending offers or are in the interview process with other companies, they should let the employer know during the final stages of the interview process and ask for an extension on the offered deadline, if necessary.

The student should inform all potential employers of pending offers and final interview stages with other companies. This will keep from burning any bridges if the aforementioned situation does arise. Also, if the student is honest with all potential employers about their prospects, the student could have requested a longer deadline to accept the offer.

SCENARIO 2: After meeting a student at the Career Fair and conducting several interviews with them, you extend an offer to join your company. Within the same week, the student receives another offer from a different company they met at the Career fair. The student is unsure how to handle deciding between multiple offers.

ally, but should learn from the process in any way possible so that they can come back stronger next time. After the interview process, if the student is still interested in working for this company, they should stay in touch with the potential employer and continue to express interest while continuing to build skills. Just because they did not fit any open positions at that time doesn’t mean they will not be a great fit for other positions in the future.

SCENARIO 5: You meet a first year student at the Career Fair and you have a wonderful conversation with them.

Your company does not have any opportunities for them at this time, as you only hire students who are about to graduate, but you definitely want the student to apply in the future!

What efforts can students take who are excited about your company but do not yet qualify for your open positions?

The student should make an effort to stay in touch with the employer for the remainder of their time in college. For example, they can connect with the recruiter or employer on LinkedIn or continue to attend the employer’s events every time they come on campus. They should take advantage of any opportunities the employer may provide for one-on-one interactions so that they can learn more about the company, the positions and the types of candidates they are searching for. This will put the student in the best possible position to land a job when they are fully qualified.

SCENARIO 4: You meet with a student at the Career Fair and interview them the next day. You see great potential in this student but determine they are not the right fit for your open position at this time. You let the student know and the student is left feeling discouraged.

How do you recommend a student navigating the rejection and what would you recommend they do after the interview to impress you in the future?

The student should keep in mind that, just as every employer is not a great fit for them, they may also not be the best fit for every position.

The student should never take a rejection person-

Top Skills Employers Seek Communication | Team Work | Critical Thinking | Problem Solving

W

hile researching job search strategies and resume writing tips, have you come across the term “transferable skills”? A skill is transferable when you can use it in a variety of settings or situations for it can be adapted for use in a new setting.

For example, communication is a transferable skill. You can develop and demonstrate communication skills in a class, in a work setting, in a leadership activity and in a variety of other ways.

How you might communicate with your roommate may be different than how you communicate in a class, nevertheless it is still communication. There are likely hundreds of transferable skills but right now, let’s focus on a few. According to the National Association of

Colleges and Employers, the top skills employers seek are communication, teamwork, critical thinking, and problemsolving. As a college student, you have demonstrated each of these many times in different settings. Here are a few examples: You will (and do) hone critical thinking skills during all of your classes and you ponder the subject and solve difficult problems. You likely work on your communication and teamwork skills by engaging in group projects and delivering presentations. Right now, you are developing these skills through classes, on-campus employment, and internships, but teamwork, for example will also be important as you develop the ability to collaborate, share responsibili-

ties and support your colleagues in the goals of the organization you choose to work for after graduation. That is what makes it transferable.

While a college student, you will likely have several “pay the rent” type of jobs — perhaps these are jobs you don’t necessarily love but they help you pay the bills. Although it can be common to think that you are not gaining any skills in these settings, in each of these positions, you are gaining valuable transferable skills that a future employer will appreciate. For example, where ever you serve customers, you are developing communication and customer service skills. Anytime you resolve a conflict with a customer, say if they didn’t like the food or they need to return a purchase, you

are using problem-solving and conflict resolution skills.

We sometimes think, “I’ve never been that [insert job title here], so there is no way I’ll get the job.” However, what is important is breaking down the skills employers are looking for and determining how you can show you’ve developed those skills.

It is your job to connect the dots for employers — to highlight your transferable skills and let them know how they will be beneficial in the position you are applying for. Before attending the Fall Career Fair, spend some time reflecting on your transferable skills and how you will communicate them to employers. And remember, Career Center staff are available at the fair to help you brainstorm.

Get Noticed and Get Hired

By Rebecca Cohen Fall term is in full swing, and there is no time like the present for you to start thinking about possible careers. Whether you are a senior looking to be a full-time employee come June, or you are a first-year just wanting to dip your feet in the pond, every Duck cangain invaluable information at the Fall Career Fair onNovember 9. This interview with Doug Rice, Talent Acquisition Manager at Enterprise Holdings and a Career Fair connoisseur, gives an inside scoop on everything you need to know about recruitment seasons, first-year student opportunities, and how you can stand out amongst the crowd.

DON’T WAIT TILL SPRING! There are three main recruitment seasons, Fall, Winter, and Spring. Contrary to what you may think, Doug says that Fall recruiting is when companies are aiming to find full-time candidates for June and begin their internship searches, so don’t wait until spring to begin your search! He stresses that this Fall Career Fair is unique in that over 115 employers “are specifically targeting students that attend UO and will be graduating with a UO degree.” Winter tends to be when companies are looking for summer interns or quality candidates for a full-time position. The Spring Career Fair is for companies to finish filling their internship positions or any full-time job opening that remain.

BE PREPARED Doug suggests that before going to the Career Fair, have an idea of what you are there to do and spend some time researching organizations. Are you looking for a job, internship, or networking? Knowing this information will prevent you from feeling lost in a sea of business casual.

Secondly, make sure you update (or put together) a resume and bring copies. Lastly, practice a 15 to 30 second elevator pitch that clearly expresses “what you are looking for, what you have, and what you want.” Doug points out that employers are looking to hire young adults and presenting yourself in professional attire and making good eye contact makes a big difference. For Career Fair prep help, check out the Career Center website or call for an appointment.

as consumers, however, there are a lot of very good companies that you may not consider that are great in their industry.” Thirdly, Doug thinks the worst thing that a student can say when approached by a potential employer is that they are just “looking for a job.”

Saying this doesn’t set you apart, but your elevator pitch will.

I HAVE ALL THESE EMPLOYERS’ BUSINESS CARDS, WHAT NOW?

Doug says underclassmen should definitely attend the Fall Career Fair because “it’s a great way to work on your interpersonal skills. The person you are as a freshman is not the person you are going to be when you graduate, a lot of that has to do with your confidence, articulation, and communication skills. What better way to work on those communications skills than to engage with professionals, who are speaking that professional language already.” Don’t know your major yet? Even more of a reason to come to the fair. If a company piques your interest, you can learn what they’re looking for and it may help you discover some areas of study.

The Career Center is featuring a VIP Tour for firstyear and second-year students at the UO, which includes a behind the scenes look at the organizations and a networking prep workshop. Register online on the Career Center website.

Doug recommends getting employers’ business cards, jotting down some notes about them, and sending them a personalized thank you note after the fair. If you are confident about your LinkedIn profile, connect with them on LinkedIn as well (the Career Center can help you with this too). Employers will talk to so many students, and Doug is always impressed if the student takes the first initiative. “If I have a (potential) employee pro-actively follow up with me, that makes my life a lot easier, and that really says something about that person.

CAREER FAIR FLOPS “There is not safety in numbers at the career fair.

When you have other people, the employers tend to lump you in with the group,” Doug remarks. Although we encourage you to bring your friends, we suggest splitting up to stand out and ensure you get one-on-one time with employers. Doug says another pitfall is overlooking the lesser-known companies at the fair.

“Everybody would love to go talk to the Microsoft booth or the Nike booth because those are wellknown, well-marketed brands. We know those brands

WHAT ABOUT FIRST-YEARS?

WHY SHOULD YOU GO? Doug says “the Career Fair is the one time in your working life where people will be coming to talk to you, and you can learn so much more about a company by talking to a representative than reading its webpage.

Going to the Career Fair you have everything to win and nothing to lose. The skills you get, the connections you make, and the opportunities are right there – unbelievable.”

Where Ducks go to earn their MBA Join us at the Fall Career Fair on Nov. 9 University of Oregon graduates admitted to Willamette’s Early Career and Career Change MBA Program are eligible for our Pacific Northwest merit scholarship, ranging from $19,000 to full tuition.

“Getting my MBA degree after graduating from UO Business School was one of the best decisions I have made.”
