from Jasheway herself, who announced it in class. “I think it’s sad. I feel like there is no other teacher who could really replace her experience and the subject that she teaches,�

McKnight said.

She said that studying comedy can make people feel self-conscious, but Jasheway provides an environment where students can feel comfortable to express their work. “She’s pretty quirky and outgoing, and I don’t think she’s afraid to say what’s on her mind, which is cool because you feel really comfortable in her class,�

McKnight said.

For the second straight year, UO is laying off non-tenured faculty in the face of budget cuts. Jasheway said she feels that maintaining non-tenured faculty is important to quality of teaching at a university. “A lot of full-time faculty have experience, but it may have been from a while ago, and because they are full-time teachers now, they aren’t actually doing what they are teaching right now, while those of us who are parttime faculty are,� Jasheway said.

The Emerald has not yet learned the names of the other four faculty members who were laid off. If you know something, send us an email.

Leslie Steeves, an SOJC associate dean, notified Jasheway on April 19 that her contract would not be renewed.

But the news came as a surprise for Jasheway.

Earlier this year, Jasheway was invited to be a keynote speaker for the Oregon Diversity Conference in Salem in September, and wanted to make sure there were no conflicts with her teaching if her yearly contract was renewed. At the time, she reached out to Peter Alilunas, an SOJC area director, asking about her teaching status for next year. Alilunas replied by email that she was scheduled to teach Comedy in Media twice a week during the fall term of the 2017-18 school year. “It is a little distressing that in this approach that people who are good at what they do, have been there for a long period of time, are dismissed one day,�

Jasheway said.

FIELD, @ ANDYTSUBASAF

The University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication has laid off five non-tenured instructors as part of the university’s effort to cut costs in the face of a budget shortfall.

Juan-Carlos Molleda, the dean of the SOJC, did not renew the contracts of two visiting assistant professors, as well as one full-time and two part-time non-tenure track faculty. His decision came after receiving input from the journalism school’s directors and associate deans. The deadline for administrators to notify faculty if their contracts will be renewed is May 1. “It is among the hardest decisions a dean has to make,�

Molleda told the Emerald.

Molleda declined to release the names of the faculty members who lost their jobs.

The SOJC needs to cut $1.9 million from next year’s budget.

Molleda said that a committee in the journalism school is looking into increasing the workload of the non-tenure track faculty who remain next year.

Journalism instructor Leigh Anne Jasheway is one journalism school faculty member who, after eight years of teaching, was not asked to return next year. The stand-up comedian,

One in five women will be sexually assaulted while they are attending college in the U.S., according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. This indicates that 3,250 women at the University of Oregon will suffer some kind of sexual abuse in four years of school.

About 300 community members marched in the 39th annual Take Back the Night event in Eugene on Thursday — a demonstration to raise awareness about sexual assault on college campuses around the country. The event provided an opportunity to stand in solidarity with survivors.

The national march concluded sexual assault awareness month, a time when many on campus learned about sexual assault through a variety of other events.

Take Back the Night started with presentations in the EMU amphitheater, including a performance from the Sexual Wellness Advocacy Team, a speech from UO Mujeres, a poem from representatives of Planned Parenthood and speeches from the Women’s Center’s Fatima Roohi Pervaiz and Itzel Chavez.

Members of the group UO Mujeres painted half of their faces to resemble a skull to represent those who have survived sexual assaults — and those who have not. “Sexual violence happens at epidemic PA G E 4

proportions throughout the country and around the world to people of all genders,� said Chavez. “It has impacted many of our lives, whether we are survivors or allies.�

Following the speeches, the crowd marched toward downtown through UO’s sorority row to stand in solidarity with panhellenic women.

According to the UO Women’s Center, a goal for the event was to focus on abuse in diverse and marginalized communities, as well as illuminate the different instances of sexual violence.

Breaking the Silence: Experiencing the stories UO’s Panhellenic Council invited a Denver based non-profit named Breaking the Silence to construct a nine-room, interactive experience that re-creates situations where sexual violence occurred. The series of stories demonstrates varying forms of sexual assault told through the voices of survivors, and in one case, a perpetrator.

Leading up to the event, Allison Watt, director of Breaking the Silence, said the Panhellenic Council “wanted something really balanced that challenged students and brought different perspectives� “We feel like these stories in particular really do that,� she said. “It brings a different lens on interpersonal

Get Ready BEFORE

Scoping it out • Browse through the attending employers list and research organizations that interest you.

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

• Review your résumé and skill set with a professional in the Career Center.

Spring

CAREER MAY 3

FAIR

EMU BALLROOM NOON–4:00 P.M.

Seeking Job or Internship • Make a list of the top 5–10 companies or organizations you want to talk to. Do some research to understand what their organization is about and available opportunities.

• 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.

DURING

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

• Career Center staff attend every career fair to answer your questions and guide you through the fair.

• Spend the first 10–15 minutes walking through the fair. It is perfectly okay to do your first round without talking to anyone.

AFTER

• Start conversations. Be confident and remember there are many employers to talk to if your first conversation does not go as you hoped.

• Find the employers you are interested in talking to on the map.

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

• Do not get discouraged if the companies you are interested in are not offering internships or full-time positions at the time.

The most important thing is to build a positive relationship with them and follow up.

• Get contact information from the employers you connect with.

• Be sure to get contact information from the employers you connect with.

• Send thank you emails to the employers you connected with.

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

• Follow up. Send thank you emails to the employers you met. Let them know if you apply to a position they have open. Include something about yourself and the conversation you had to remind them who you are.

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

• Prepare for interviews by setting up a practice interview at the Career Center.

• Follow up, again! Stay in contact with employers. Periodically send 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.

Speaker Spotlight: Roy Juarez Jr.

TUESDAY

CEO, American Business Leader Roy Juarez Jr. will speak about barriers, life, diversity, and never giving up. At the age of 14, Roy was left homeless and responsible for his two younger siblings. Roy believes that his diversity carried a stigma that he was just going to be another statistic: he was a poor kid and a troublemaker.

MAY EMU BALLROOM 5:00–8:00 P.M.

“I was going to work hard and not let the things that happened to me stop me.”

However, his background as a minority also made him appreciate the purpose of life, “It gave me rich history with culture, love, compassion, and inspiration that I was going to work hard and not let the things that happened to me stop me.”

Roy’s motivation was his younger siblings. “Once we identify our motivation, hold on to it, and keep reminding ourselves why we are doing what we are doing.” Juarez emphasizes not to give up on life because of things we can’t control. When we are in a position to help others, he encourages us to find the passion to do so.

Today, Roy is the CEO of his own business American Business Leader, a human development company. He has dedicated his life to traveling the country to bring hope to students, youth, and all who will listen.

Members of the University of Oregon Sexual Wellness Advocacy Team present personal stories. (Aaron Nelson)

violence than the typical story you might hear over and over again in the media. It shines a different light.”

Two members of the PHC community, Rachael Wallace and Nicole Leisy, walked through the exhibit together linking arms.

They said that even if someone hadn’t lived through a similar situation, learning about others’ experiences could still be saddening and scary.

In the first three rooms, attendants entered the living space of a middle-aged woman whose partner threatened to torture her, although they would learn how she and her children finally got away from him as she regained control of her life.

Viewers continued into a child’s bedroom while a man explained how his mother forced sexual relations with him when he was a child.

The next rooms showed the back of a truck covered in clothes and beer cans. A man’s recording explained how he sexually assaulted a woman while she was sleeping and is now facing the legal and emotional consequences of his actions.

Wallace and Leisy found value in listening to the stories of survivors and those who have committed sexual assault; the stories communicated the intricacies of sexual abuse.

“Sexual assaults aren’t all the same,” Leisy said. “When you’re in college, you think of someone drinking too much and being taken advantage of.”

She said she knows such instances are prevalent on college campuses, but she’s glad the exhibit spread awareness that abusive relationships take many different forms.

“We just hope people will start the conversation,” Watt said. “[A]fter you leave the exhibit, [we hope] you go forward and you talk to somebody about it and just figure out how do we change our current culture and really prevent this from being so prevalent.”

Institutional Change April 2017 marked a formal attempt at changing the university’s handling of sexual assault.

A UO student writes an encouraging message on The Solidarity Wall during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. (Adam Eberhardt)

The Faculty Senate created the Student Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment and Violence Complaint and Response policy to improve how the university responds to sexual harassment and violence complaints. The Senate originally approved the policy in November, but additional changes were made to it before it was voted on again. Senators gave the new policy high praise and voted unanimously to approve it earlier this month.

The policy outlines what UO employees must do when a student tells them about an experience of sexual harassment or assault. Most faculty and staff are no longer required to report what students disclose to them about sexual violence experiences. Certain university employees are still designated reporters: athletic directors, deans and department heads, residential assistants and UOPD officers.

Melissa Barnes, the graduate student member on the policy task force, is mostly pleased with how the policy turned out; however, she says she is uncomfortable that UOPD officers have to be on the list of designated reporters, something that was non-negotiable, she said. President Schill now needs to approve the policy in order for it to be put in place.

“I do expect the senate and President Schill to sign off on this,” Barnes said, “and put the institution on the right side of history on these issues.”

Watt, the director of Breaking the Silence, said she saw students respond with hope and a desire to change the culture at UO. She said that after Breaking the Silence comes to campuses, there is a trend of more reporting and more conversations about sexual violence issues.

According to the UOPD crime log, reporting of sexual violence on campus is trending upward. Kelly McIver, the public information officer for UOPD says this is due in part to a streamlined process and new requirements for what gets reported.

In 2016, 20 cases of sexual assault were reported on campus, eight more than the previous year. Six cases have already been reported in 2017.

đ&#x;“ŁEDITORIAL BOARD

NEW LIVE-ON REQUIREMENT UNFAIR The following is the opinion of the Emerald’s editorial board and not Emerald Media Group as a whole. The Emerald Editorial Board exists to provide the newsroom a voice on prominent campus issues. It operates separately from the objective work of our reporters, giving our organization a platform to create and continue a dialogue on campus.

The board’s members include Sararosa Davies, senior arts reporter; Meerah Powell, digital managing editor; Will Campbell, associate news editor; Kylee O’Connor, sports reporter; Mark Kellman, engagement editor; Cooper Green, editor in chief; Patience Greene, opinion columnist; Billy Manggala, opinion columnist; Alec Cowan, opinion editor.

Starting fall 2017, all incoming freshmen will be required to live on campus in University of Oregon residence halls barring a short list of specific exemptions. Admin said the decision was tied to data that showed students who live on campus are 80 percent more likely to graduate within six years.

Despite this, many are angry with the new policy because it appears to be a money-driven move and it strips away the freedom for a student to choose where they live.

Although UO’s stated intentions for on-campus living were inherently good and backed by statistics, administration failed to come up with an approach that incentivized living in the dorms and instead made it a requirement without much public discourse from the student body.

In enforcing the live-on requirement, UO administration should accommodate a broader set of exemptions allowing students to live offcampus their first year. What UO administration failed to recognize is that a large handful of students legitimately cannot live in the residence halls for reasons more than those they are currently set to allow.

Students can’t afford the cost: For an in-state student, over half of costs will come from housing and living. Standard room rates with a standard meal plan cost approximately $11,950 for nine months, not including winter break.

This actually costs more than in-state tuition and fees, which is $11,931.

Off-campus housing options can be expensive as well. The luxury suites of The Hub can run a person over $1000 a month, but for those looking, Eugene offers a plethora of $200-300 rooms in 100-year-old houses.

The freedom of choice allows a thrifty student to save a few thousand dollars a year, even including food. Although UO Housing is working on offering cheaper room rates — prices actually decreased slightly for 2017-18 — the cost of living in a dorm could make or break whether some students decide to attend the school.

Pathway Oregon students receive the Pell Grant, which has a maximum of $5,920 next year, for their tuition and fees, but do not receive aid for housing and living. Most Pathway recipients receive financial aid or outside help for the cost, but having to borrow $12,000 when cheaper options are available is unfair to financially struggling students.

UO should offer the choice for a student to evaluate their own financial situation, and if it appears that the live-on requirement will impact them negatively, UO should accommodate.

Students with mental health issues or social concerns: UO claims that the live-on requirement will be beneficial for students coming to Eugene for the first time, as they build a sense of community and gain access to student resources. The goal is to immerse students into a college lifestyle so they have a more successful first year and an easier time adapting.

But the dorm environment is not for everybody.

In an average UO dorm hall, a student will share a dorm floor with a few dozen tenants, including their roommate who will, in most halls, be sleeping no further than several feet away.

The hall can get rowdy, which may negatively impact study habits. Tenants will blast music, and many will have to share a bathroom and be exposed to much more concentrated and frequent partying than in a one- or two-bedroom apartment.

For some, this is the college dream — for others, who have mental health issues, social anxiety or any other social concern, this is an absolute nightmare.

Some people need a quiet space, some like to be alone and some can’t handle the pressure of living with that many strangers for an entire year. These people should not have to live in a dorm if they don’t want to. UO shouldn’t be forcing students to break out of their comfort zone — that’s not the university’s decision to make.

UO could accommodate for these people through exemption via a doctor’s note that cites mental health or social anxiety concerns.

Bottom line, students shouldn’t have to live on campus if they don’t want to.

If one of the primary goals of a university is to prepare students for the real world, being forced to live in one room with a peer in buildings with hotelstyle cramping isn’t realistic. For motivated students who don’t see this lifestyle as a fit, UO should offer the opportunity to get out of it.

If the university wanted to encourage students to live in the dorms, it could have handled it in a more open way that included perspectives of student leaders and academia. Instead, students are left with what appears to be a revenue-driven decision poorly disguised as a community-building experience.

⚡ SPORTS Willie Taggart wants Justin Herbert to prove himself as a vocal leader in order to win starting job ➡ GUS

MORRIS, @JUSTGUSMORRIS

The Oregon Ducks hold the annual spring game at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Ore. on Saturday, April 29, 2017. (Phillip Quinn)

Oregon head coach Willie Taggart has a new rule for quarterback Justin Herbert: talk to a teammate after every play.

As soon as every play is signaled dead in practice and during games, Herbert must talk to a teammate and either offer praise or a critique. Taggart wants his sophomore play-caller to further emerge from his shell and truly become the leader he is looking for in a quarterback.

While Herbert certainly proved himself on the field Saturday with his 327-yard and three touchdown performance in Oregon’s spring game, Taggart wants whomever he names the starting quarterback in the fall to be a true leader both on and off the field.

He has worked closely with Herbert this spring on improving his leadership abilities.

“He’s the quarterback of the football team. He’s gotta be vocal,” Taggart said after the Herbert-led Team Free defeated Team Brave 34-11 in Oregon’s spring game. “He doesn’t have to be a ‘ra-ra’ guy, I’m not asking him to do that. But he’s gotta lead this team.

“He’s gotta get him or Travis [Jonsen] or whoever it is to get the team to rally around him. You go back and look at the heyday here and look at the great Marcus Mariota; everybody played for him. Not only everybody in that room, hell, the entire Ducknation wanted to play for him and be there for him. To me, that’s what a great quarterback does.”

Herbert is quiet by nature. His media sessions last season would last only a few minutes because of how brief his answers

were. He rarely spoke much and when he did, it would be quietly.

“He was pretty much a mute when he first came in,” offensive lineman Jake Hanson said. “Not saying that’s a bad thing or anything, he was just a quiet dude.”

Whatever approach Taggart is taking with Herbert this spring has appeared to work. Teammates notice a difference and say that Herbert is more vocal in practice.

“You’re never going to get like a ‘ra-ra’ speech from him but he’s definitely come a long way in a year,” Hanson said.

Herbert said the rule about talking after every play has definitely helped in his growth as a leader. He said that having a coach like Taggart makes that process much easier.

“Having a guy like Coach T definitely helps,” Herbert said. “He’s very personable.”

Taggart hesitated about putting any of the three quarterbacks — Herbert, Jonsen or freshman Braxton Burmeister — above the other when asked about Herbert’s chances of being named Oregon’s starting quarterback. Fall camp is still months away and as Oregon fans learned the last two seasons, anything can happen when it comes to quarterbacks.

But wide receiver Darren Carrington — whose three touchdown catches on Saturday all came from Herbert — had no hesitation when asked about Herbert and where he stands in the quarterback competition.

“Herbert, that’s the guy right now to beat,” Carrington said.

It’s amazing what a little talking can do.
