Kilkenny defends arena plan (Register-Guard): University of Oregon Athletic Director Pat Kilkenny on Tuesday again defended the financial plan for the school's proposed basketball arena and said he is confident it will beat the pessimistic revenue estimates cited by critics of the project. Less than a week after winning his most important victory as athletic director to date, Kilkenny said there's virtually no chance the controversial arena will need a bailout by state taxpayers.

UO, OSU can keep marketing deals secret: Contracts - The state attorney general's office says that the public records law allows for some confidentiality (The Oregonian): Oregon and Oregon State's multimillion-dollar sports marketing contracts are trade secrets and can be hidden from public view, Oregon Attorney General Hardy Myers said this week. In a nine-page opinion released late Monday, Myers' office upheld both universities' contention that they could keep the amounts of their sports broadcast and marketing rights contracts confidential under the state public records law. The confidentiality helps them maintain a business advantage over marketing contractors and other schools, the opinion said.

A day for Native American students at the University of Oregon (Register-Guard): Native American students interested in attending the University of Oregon will have a day of their own to explore educational opportunities on campus. Oregon Native Education Day, open to all Native American community members and students of any age, takes place Thursday at the university's Many Nations Longhouse to help guide participants in goal-setting and education planning with an emphasis on Native American values.
