Dear University of Oregon community members, I am thrilled to have arrived on campus and to begin serving as your president. It is such an honor to lead this outstanding university and work alongside all of you to advance our mission and impact. In the video that accompanies this message…
One of these was written for our Interim Pres and Provost by UO’s overpaid PR flacks, the other was generated in 10 seconds by ChatGPT with the prompt “Write a public statement from a university president saying that the university will maintain its commitment to diversity despite today’s SCOTUS decision…

Irvin seems like a good choice. This was the job Woodruff-Borden was hired to do in 2019, before she somehow ended up as Interim Provost. Needless to say it’s very unlikely that she actually made this selection! Note that, in contrast to previous admin searches under her and Phillips, she…

Hello Campus Community, I am alerting you to CPFM Facilities Services Custodial Department’s temporary adjustment to services provided to the academic buildings during the upcoming Summer Term.
