During a Portland Business Journal’s Most Admired Companies luncheon, Columbia’s CEO Tim Boyle told 700 Portland businesses leaders that he will lead a charge to Oregon’s reform of higher-education funding.
After attacking the state government he said, “higher education in Oregon is shining example of old adage: The best thing to come out of Salem is Interstate 5.”
Boyle continued to explain that Oregon is ranked 45th in the nation in terms of state support of higher-education students. The state provides about 40 percent less of operation funds than it did in 2002.
