8/31/2023: Any truth to the rumor Dennis Galvan will offer him a visiting professorship in the Global Studies program, or is this the final chapter in one of the UO administration’s stranger affairs? The NYT on the coup and Bongo’s legacy, here: “As the all-powerful ruler of oil-rich Gabon, Ali Bongo…
Strange but I haven’t seen a post about this from interim VP Keith Frazee’s well paid Around the O PR flacks – I suppose it might make their bosses look bad – but UO’s student reporters are on the story. From the Daily Emerald, here: Kalapuya Ilihi Residence Hall, a…

Just kidding, his first act will be to give a huge raise to the football coach. James Crepea has the story in the Oregonian, here: Lanning signed a six-year, $29.1 million in December 2022. He earned $4.6 million in salary last season, plus $100,000 for winning nine regular season games…
I blame UO’s left wing faculty for indoctrinating these Duck student-athletes with the belief that they have the right to any part of the money that AD Mullens and his coaches have earned with their own toil and sweat (and some very successful lobbying by the NCAA hiring cartel, to…
Once we had regular coverage from the Oregonian and the Register Guard, but those newsrooms have been gutted and GC Kevin Reed uses fees and delays to make it difficult for any reporters left to get the public records that might reveal what’s really going on at Oregon’s flagship university.…
