Dave Frohnmayer, retired president of the University of Oregon, has become "of counsel" to the law firm of Harrang Long Gary Rudnick, which has offices in Salem, Eugene and Portland.
In his role "of counsel," the 69-year-old Frohnmayer will take on special assignments but will not be a partner.
A former legislator, Frohnmayer retired June 30 after 15 years as university president, and had also been a professor and dean of the law school.
Frohnmayer is on a sabbatical from the university, but will continue to teach a freshman honors course in leadership.
