KKK dorm — The University of Oregon’s governing board has voted to remove the name of a former professor and Klu Klux Klansman from one of its campus dormitories. The board voted unanimously Thursday to change Dunn Hall, named for Frederic Dunn, to Cedar Hall until a renaming process is undertaken. President Michael Schill said he based his recommendation to rename Dunn Hall on dialogue, logic and research, and he concluded “it would be inconsistent with our values to have a building named after an exalted cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan.” According to a Klan rule book, an “exalted cyclops” is the chief officer of a single Klan unit. The school will focus next on possibly renaming a building named for Matthew Deady, a campus founder and advocate of slavery.

Child sex abuse — Authorities say a 47-year-old man living near Portland has been sentenced to 60 years in prison for sexually abusing or exploiting children in the Philippines and in Oregon. The U.S. Justice Department said Steven Rockett was sentenced Thursday for producing child pornography outside the United States, engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign places, producing and attempting to produce child pornography and possession of child pornography. A federal jury in Portland convicted him of the charges after a May trial. Prosecutors say Rockett sexually abused children, solicited children to take and send him sexually explicit photos of themselves and also secretly recorded children undressing and showering at his residences in Forest Grove and Aloha and in Philippine hotel rooms. Rockett is currently appealing a 52-year state prison sentence for sexually abusing five children.

Home invasion biter — Authorities have arrested a man accused of breaking into a Salem residence and biting the homeowner and his teenage son.

Authorities say the suspect struggled and tried to bite deputies who were attempting to detain the man. Deputies were eventually able to handcuff the suspect, who was taken to the hospital after the incident. He faces charges of burglary, assault and resisting arrest.

Portland parking — Portland has begun booting vehicles around the city as part of an effort to collect on $7.5 million in unpaid parking tickets. The booting program kicked off Wednesday and the city was able to track down four alleged violators who owed a total of more than $25,000. A 2014 Ford Mustang accounted for more than half the first day’s total with nearly $16,000 in unpaid citations. The city boots vehicles that have racked up at least six citations in which the fines have doubled because of nonpayment or reached totals of at least $500. City officials say drivers can pay off the fines or set up a payment plan with the Multnomah County Circuit Court to get the boot removed.
