OSU plans to build tech center with focus on semiconductor industry

Oregon State University will break ground on a new technology and engineering building that will teach the next generation about semiconductors.

The $200 million building should be completed by 2025. It will be 3 stories and 150,000 square feet.

An Oregon State alumni couple donated $50 million to the OSU foundation in order for the building to be completed.

Very proud of Oregon and OSU. This industry is one of our gems and the whole country benefits from Oregonian engineers and the products we create.

When STEM students at OSU mocked a survey on attitudes towards LGBTQ, feewings were hurt. The (woke) research team declared that the mockery they received "had a profound impact on morale and mental health, " particularly for one transgender researcher who was "already in therapy for anxiety and depression regarding online anti-trans rhetoric." The paper claimed that "managing the study’s data collection caused significant personal distress, and time had to be taken off the project to heal from traumatic harm" of having to read students' responses in the survey. And I would say it was well-deserved mockery.

OSU has wayyyy too many admins who are wasting money: causing students to go into far too much debt.
