No UO sexual violence survey — A University of Oregon professor considered an expert on sexual violence research says she’s shocked the university has rejected her proposal for a survey that could reveal rates of sexual victimization on campus in Eugene. Psychology professor Jennifer Freyd asked the university last month for email addresses of 1,000 randomly selected students and $30,000 to pay students to participate in the 30-minute survey. Spokeswoman Rita Radostitz said the university was concerned the survey data could be biased because of Freyd’s personal opinions and because Freyd did not collaborate with UO employees.

Plus: UO bank — The first order of business for the new governing board of the University of Oregon will be to go into the banking business. The new board of trustees is planning a university Central Bank to invest operating cash and reserves amounting to more than $200 million. Those investments are now handled by a systemwide operation for the state’s seven public universities. But the schools are getting their own boards, and UO’s cash management will no longer be handled by the state university system. University trustees meet for the first time today. Oregon State University will operate the systemwide bank as a shared service for the rest of the universities.
