Maybe it is splitting hairs, but the Knight OHSU Cancer Center was a gift that needed a match to be given at all. If they didn't get the match, they would have ended up with nothing. Here, if no other money is put into the project then they'll end up with 1 or 2 buildings instead of 3, 15 endowed research labs instead of 30... but the gift will be given over 10 years no matter what. The UO is free to say they need X amount to fulfill their vision, but they are the only ones saying they "must" have another $500 million. Even the Olive article uses a relatively less emphatic word than "must" when they say, "what UO hopes will be a $1 billion effort."
