Trustees will discuss several issues important to students when they hold a joint committee meeting this Friday.

Discussions on white privilege distract from the real issues raised by racial profiling in American policing, according to one of the key claims in a new book by University of Oregon philosophy professor Naomi Zack.

In “White Privilege and Black Rights,” released in April, Zack challenges conventional wisdom, attempting to shift the focus from white privilege to the way the rights of African-Americans are violated with racial profiling and police homicide, a theory Zack calls applicative justice.

Student athletes will be honored for their accomplishments at the inaugural awards show at Matthew Knight Arena.

Chase Salazar, a University of Oregon chemistry student, will be featured on “Conference of Champions,” a one-hour special that premiered Sunday, May 3 on the Pac-12 Networks.

The show follows a student from each of the 12 conference schools to show how a unique collegiate experience shapes their personal stories and career aspirations. Faculty members and university leaders – including UO Interim President Scott Coltrane – offer further insight into what sets each campus apart, delving into the unique history, ideals and tradition that defines their institution.

The visit was a chance to connect with the state congressional delegation and advocate for student aid and research funding.

The acclaimed group will perform on campus May 14, then in the Marktoberdorf International Chamber Choir Competition.

The painting, one of a series of 21, is on display in the MacKinnon Gallery of European Art through June 14.

The boundary between indigenous communities and settler society will be explored during a symposium this Thursday and Friday presented by the Oregon Humanities Center’s Indigenous Philosophies Research Interest Group.

The symposium, “Colonial and Decolonial Connections,” takes place April 30 and May 1 at several campus locations. All events are free and open to the public.

The UO’s EMU amphitheater will once again serve as the launching point for the 37th annual Take Back the Night protest march, an annual international event that draws attention to the realities of sexual violence.

The rally begins at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 30, and marchers will leave the amphitheater at 7 p.m. They will then march to downtown Eugene, gathering at the Atrium Building at the corner of 10^th Avenue and Olive Street for a speak-out featuring survivors of sexual assault.

Thomas Dorer, a vice president at the University of Hartford, will be the first candidate to be interviewed.
