Ten years ago on March 30, 2015, Brian Babb, a 49-year-old military veteran with PTSD, was armed and feeling suicidal, according to court documents. He had fired his gun and told his therapist as much when he called her for help. Within an hour of that call, Babb was shot and killed by a Eugene police officer. His sister, Stephanie Babb, is holding a memorial March 29 for Brian Babb and for others who have been killed by police violence.

If the strike proceeds, it would be the first faculty strike at the UO. In January 2024, the school narrowly averted a graduate employees strike when the Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation and the UO reached an agreement only days before the strike was to begin.
