UO Matters
Just kidding. While Kitzhaber fired Lariviere in part because of the 6% raises he gave faculty, and rescinded the raises Kroger gave at the DOJ, there’s no sign he is going to do anything about the 21% raises that Athletic Director Rob Mullens and Bob Berdahl gave the coaches – paid…
From a new report out of Georgetown, “The College Advantage“. Enrollment gains are highest for men, though not enough to make up for the female advantage. The employment and earnings advantages of college have persisted.
Page and pages of docket info here for a telephonic meeting on Friday. The UO students have voted against this several times, a fact which is conveniently not mentioned in the proposal. Costs have increased from $300 per student per year to $351 – payment starts before construction finishes – and approval…
If you go to duckweb > faculty > course administration you will now find “view class photos” under the drop down action menu. They come out in an easy to print format. Thank you so much to whoever made that happen – a very useful teaching crutch for us prosopagnosia…
Harris is one of the few UO VP’s to have ever undergone a performance review, I believe in 2010. It did not go well. Jim Bean kept him on anyway. Then in January, while Bean was on sabbatical, Lorraine Davis took the opportunity to fire Harris and run an open…
She’s not leaving much to chance. The rest of his new contract is here – yes, we’re still paying for his beamer. 8/14/2012.

They got bonuses too. A correspondent points out I missed this report from Rob Moseley in the RG, July 20: The UO football team’s nine assistant coaches each received a $40,000 raise as of July 1, bringing their guaranteed salaries for 2012 to a combined $2,759,500. … Under the amended…
As reported in The Australian News. CI’s are cultural and language institutes located at universities worldwide, including UO. They are sponsored by the Chinese government, which also controls the content they provide. Tibet and the Dalai Lama are apparently not subjects for free discussion – Bloomberg report here. Thanks to an…
Read Interim Provost Jim Bean’s 2010 op-ed in the Oregonian, defending the decision to spend $1.83 million a year of regular students’s tuition money on the athlete only Jacqua Center for Student Athletes – or as the NY Times calls it, the Jock Box. Then read about how Duck AD Rob…
Diane Dietz on our new President – she’s not happy with his fake news conference: Gottfredson said he’ll spend the rest of the summer exploring the campus, meeting with deans and faculty and learning the issues. Fair enough, but remember, winter is coming. Then there’s this: Treetops, at 2237 Spring Blvd., is an…
The ad is here, it does not say who is on the search committee. Chris Prosser was doing a great job at 0.9 FTE and a very modest salary, he left to pursue a PhD. As a commenter notes, top salary for the job listed is $38,000. In comparison the UO…
