Oregon’s public university students are being surveyed to gain a better understanding about how health insurance coverage impacts them.
Current research shows:
- Adults ages 19-34 represent 39% of the uninsured in the U.S.
- 23% of uninsured individuals needed care but did not get it due to cost
- 26% of uninsured individuals postponed seeking care due to cost
Participation in this survey will be used to help provide affordable health insurance for these students.

The Counseling Center provides a supportive and confidential environment for students to discuss, process and diminish disturbances from a wide variety of personal and emotional concerns including issues associated with sexual harassment. The staff members have significant training and experience in assessment and treatment of conditions that impair functioning for victims of sexual harassment. We have also conducted training on this and related issues.

Sexual harassment may create a range of unwelcome conditions in your academic or work environment, from consistently uncomfortable to hostile, abusive, demeaning, offensive or intimidating. It may be manifested by verbal and/or physical actions, including gestures and other symbolic conduct. Sexual harassment is not always obvious and overt; it can also be subtle and covert. A person who consents to sexual advances may nevertheless be a victim of sexual harassment if those sexual advances were unwelcome. Also, previously welcomed advances may become unwelcome.
Examples of sexual harassment may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Sexual slurs about one’s gender
- Contrived work or study assignments and assigning more onerous or unpleasant tasks predominately to employees or students of one gender
- Repeated unwanted touching, patting or pinching
- Repeated inappropriate social invitations or requests for sexual favors
- Repeated unwanted discussions of sexual matters
- Use of sexual jokes, stories, analogies or images which are not related to the subject of the class or work situation
- Touching, fondling or deliberate brushing against another person
- Ogling, leering or prolonged stares at another’s body
- Display or use of sexual graffiti or sexually-explicit pictures or objects
- Sexually suggestive jokes, comments, e-mails, or other written or oral communications
