EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — University of Oregon President Richard Lariviere has been diagnosed with prostate cancer but is expected to make a full recovery following surgery scheduled later this month.

University officials said Friday the cancer was detected last month during a routine medical exam and tests show it was caught in the early stages.

Lariviere was expected to be back at work about two weeks after surgery scheduled for Nov. 15.

University Provost and Senior Vice President Jim Bean will handle the president’s duties and consult with Lariviere as needed during his medical leave.
