OUS seeks collaborator for UO President

From Diane Dietz in the RG:

Variations on the word “collaborate” appear nine times in the committee’s formal “position description and ideal candidate profile.” “It was definitely on purpose,” Oregon University System Vice Chancellor Sona Andrews said. The committee is seeking “someone who can be a real collaborator with the other institutions in the system and with the system as a whole — and someone who can collaborate internally with the institution as well.”

It’s a word with an interesting history. Seems like Pernsteiner took Berdahl’s editorial literally:

If you want to be president of the University of Oregon, be prepared to knuckle under to the chancellor and the board and be wary of the promises of the governor.
