10/15/2012: Word down at the faculty club steam room is that the pressure on Interim Provost Bean to do something about his VPR, Kimberly Espy, is coming to a head. Expect nothing from Bean, who ignored faculty complaints about Frances Dyke, Charles Martinez, Russ Tomlin, and Don Harris for years. Bean knows that if UO starts holding administrators accountable he’s a short-timer himself. He’ll try and convince Gottfredson the complaints come from a few of the usual malcontents.
Espy has a solid plan B: research grants and a gig in the psych dept as UO’s most highly paid professor at $241,364. But Bean’s alternative is grim: $185,733 a year teaching the simplex method to bored BADM undergrads five times a year. Unless he can convince his friend George Pernsteiner that the clause in that contract Frohnmayer wrote, letting him go back to being UO B-school dean, is still operative. You guys over in Lillis knew about that part, right?
