University Administration

Former University vice president Dan Williams is in the third year of his new assignment as assistant to the president for Intercollegiate Athletics, and serves as a valuable consultant to athletics director Pat Kilkenny.

Prior to his retirement from full-time duties in the summer of 2005, Wil-liams served as vice president for administration, a position he had held since 1983. Among his many duties, Williams directly supervised intercol-legiate athletics.

Williams also presided over the department as director of athletics for 11 months in 1994-95, a period that will be remembered as one of unparal-leled success with an appearance in the Rose Bowl and NCAA bids in both men’s and women’s basketball.

He selected his successor in May 1995 with the appointment of Bill Moos as athletics director and presided over an extensive study that resulted in the decision to add women’s soccer, in a concerted effort of increasing the op-portunity for women to participate and compete in intercollegiate athletics.

A political science major, the Astoria native graduated from Oregon in 1962, also serving as ASUO student body president his senior year. He received his master’s degree in public administration from the University of San Francisco in 1980. Prior to coming to Oregon as director of housing and associate dean of students in 1980, he was a student affairs officer at Stanford University.

Williams serves on the Board of Directors of Oregon Forest Resources In-stitute, Volunteers in Medicine Clinic, Liberty Bank and Bi-Mart Corporation. He also serves as a consultant to the Papé Group. His community service activities include membership on the Oregon Health Services Commission.

Williams and his wife, Maureen, are the parents of three children.

The University of Oregon’s faculty athletic representative is James O’Fallon, a member of the School of Law faculty since 1981.

As the Frank Nash professor at Oregon, O’Fallon teaches constitutional law and jurisprudence.

The native of Gunnison, Colo., and graduate of Kansas State University earned his law degree from Stanford in 1972. He passed the California bar exam in 1973, after which, he served as a law clerk for the Ninth Circuit’s United States Court of Appeals.

Prior to coming to Oregon, O’Fallon served on the law faculties at the University of Richmond and the University of Detroit, and was a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow at Harvard.

In addition to functioning on behalf of the university president and regis-trar to maintain institutional accountability and record keeping, he acts as the voting delegate in all NCAA and Pacific-10 Conference meetings and verifies academic eligibility for all of Oregon’s student-athletes. O’Fallon served as the interim representative in 1986-87 when Chapin Clark took a leave of absence from the University.

His scholarly work, including a path-breaking article on Marbury v. Madi-son, focuses on constitutional history and theory and philosophy.

Dave Frohnmayer was appointed President of the University of Oregon, the state’s Association of American Universities flagship institution, on July 1, 1994.

He formerly served as dean of the University of Oregon School of Law, as Oregon’s Attorney General, as a member of the Oregon House of Representa-tives, and as a law professor and legal counsel to the President of the University of Oregon. As Attorney General, he argued and won six of seven cases before the United States Supreme Court, the most cases and best record of any con-temporary state attorney general.

During his first decade as president, the University increased its enrollment to a record 20,200 in 2004; finished its largest ever fund-raising campaign raising $255 million; and began Campaign Oregon: Transforming Lives with a goal of $600 million. The University became a founding member of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities; hosted the annual meeting of the Association of American Universities; and completed construction projects totaling nearly $307,000,000, including three new student housing projects, the William F. Knight Law Center, a renovation and addition to the Knight Library, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, Autzen Stadium, and the Lillis Business Complex, and the construction of a new Student Recreation Cen-ter and Zebrafish Stock Center.

The University also added a host of new centers and institutes, including the Lewis Center for Neuroimaging, the Oregon Center for Optics, the Institute on Violence and Destructive Behavior, and the Center for Diversity and Com-munity; doubled the federal grants awarded annually; and added nineteen new degree programs, including bachelor’s degrees in biochemistry and ethnic studies and a master of fine arts degree in dance. The undergraduate program was assessed and revitalized under the leadership of the provost through the campus-wide Process for Change. And, the football team went to the Rose Bowl, the University published the internationally acclaimed Second Edition of the Atlas of Oregon, and 396 new tenure track faculty were hired.

Frohnmayer is the first native Oregonian to be president of any large re-search university in the state. He was born in Medford. He and his wife, Lynn, are founders of the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, Inc., and he is one of the founding directors of the National Marrow Donor Program. He gradu-ated magna cum laude from Harvard College, attended Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship, and received his law degree from the University of California at Berkeley. He has received honorary degrees from Willamette University and the University of Portland and is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Each year since being named president, Frohnmayer has taught a seminar for freshman on “Theories of Leadership.”

State Board of Higher EducationThe Oregon State Board of Higher Education, the statutory governing board of the seven-campus Oregon State System of Higher Education, is composed of 11 members appointed by the governor and confirmed by the Oregon State Senate. Eight lay members are appointed for four-year terms, one faculty member is appointed for a two-year term and two mem-bers are students appointed for two-year terms.

A new era in University of Oregon athletics was ushered in with the introduction of Patrick J. Kilkenny as the Ducks’ 10th director of athletics on February 14, 2007.

The 55-year-old Heppner, Ore., native may be new to the world of intercollegiate athletic administration, yet few individ-uals have displayed the passion for a program or have been more actively involved with an institution on all levels than Kilkenny. Furthermore, he has demonstrated the leadership in the private business sector that equates with successfully managing the elements of a multi-million dollar collegiate ath-

letic department in addition to already developing the rapport with numerous supporters of the university.

The former chairman and chief executive officer of the San Di-ego-based Arrowhead General Insurance Agency (1984-2006) built his business into a nationwide organization with written pre-miums of nearly $1 billion when he sold the company in 2006.

In addition to his extensive business background, Kilkenny has a long history of involvement with the University of Or-egon. Since attending the school as an undergraduate from 1970-73, he has served on the university’s Athletic Depart-ment Advisory Board in addition to the Board of Trustees for the University of Oregon Foundation.

In addition, Kilkenny has served on the University of Cali-fornia San Diego Athletic Advisory Board and the San Di-ego State University Athletic Director’s Cabinet. He also has served on the board of St. Vincent de Paul and currently serves on the board of directors of the San Diego Interna-tional Sports Council. He was recently honored as 2006 Man of the Year by that organization for his contributions to sports in the San Diego area.

Kilkenny initiated his career in business as Western Re-gional Manager of Central West/Puritan Insurance Company (a subsidiary of General Electric Credit Corp.) from 1974-79 before becoming president of The Managing General Agency in Seattle in 1980. He sold the insurance business four years later to purchase Arrowhead.

Over the years he has focused much of his attention on numerous charitable endeavors such as the creation of the AGIA Foundation, which raises money for Fanconi Anemia re-search as well as St. Vincent de Paul.

In his first full year at the Oregon helm, Kilkenny has been chosen to serve on the Pacific-10 Conference’s committees overseeing revenue sharing, the men’s basketball tournament and bowls.
