Armed with majority support and a series of recommended improvements, Hal Salwasser, dean of the College of Forestry at Oregon State University, is determined to put the past seven months behind him and use a public relations nightmare to correct longstanding problems within the college. "These are changes that probably should have been made a long time ago, but academia is so slow to change. We used a crisis to help make changes that will allow us to be an even better college — and we were pretty exceptional to begin with," Salwasser said.

How are items chosen for Beaver Eclips?
Beaver Eclips is a free service of the OSU Alumni Association. Its main purpose is to provide alumni and friends of OSU with a sense of how Oregon State has been portrayed in the news media over the past week. Items are selected by the staff of the Oregon Stater and by other OSUAA employees. Inclusion of an item in Eclips means only that we think it's interesting and/or important, and does not constitute an endorsement of its point of view or its journalistic accuracy.
