Eugene, Oregon

Classified staff at Oregon's seven public universities are set to walk off the job Monday in a labor action. The strike affects support workers across the state's university system, including campuses in Eugene, Corvallis and Portland, and could disrupt campus operations such as administration, facilities and student services while negotiations continue.

The property's repeated failed revivals highlight the difficulty of bringing older chip manufacturing facilities back into use, even as interest in domestic semiconductor capacity grows.
