7/5/2013: Diane Dietz of the RG had a story last month on the problems with UO’s public records office, here. Now the Student Press Law Center has a report on UO’s efforts to prevent the Oregon Commentator, a student publication, from seeing President’s Gottfredson’s official calendar. Erlichman and Haldeman Hubin…

6/25/2013: UO’s student-journalists at the Daily Emerald have started a non-profit to raise money to pay the fees UO charges them to see public records about UO. Their explanation is here and the donate button is here. Note that all donations are public. Dave Hubin’s response, in the form of a letter…
Update: Can Oregon’s flagship university stay in the AAU? If so what do we need to do? That seems like a question of public interest. But not to President Gottfredson, whose public records office is trying to charge UO student journalists $94 for the records: Public records fees charged by the…
President Gottfredson must have had some bad experiences with leaked emails while he was at Irvine. I don’t know anyone who has yet received a substantive email from him. But he does read email – and apparently he’s a bit sensitive even about that. When I first asked for Randy…
Short version:This “administrative advisory group” will not even make a written report to Gottfredson. Wouldn’t want to leave a paper trail on their transparency recommendations! Meanwhile JH is spending tens of thousands of tuition dollars on “Around the O” PR spin, while nickeling and dimeing journalists and bloggers trying to…
Both came from public records requests for invoices from the same firm, for their work on NCAA infractions: UO’s redactions UT’s redactions Randy Geller has gotten much cockier lately, for Sharon Rudnick’s invoices he redacts everything. Richard Lariviere made a point of saying that the General Counsel’s office was out of…
in the Johnson Hall Conference room. This is the administrative group Dave Hubin set up to try and justify Berdahl’s decision to revoke Lariviere’s transparency efforts. Dave had told me the meetings would be open, but must have forgot to add me to the email list. It’s not really open…
11/26/2012 update: Geller is still redacting the contracts and invoices on legal advice about the union – it’s been more than a month now since I asked for them. But Dave Hubin did send me a copy of the emails between him and Geller on the subject of UO’s fee-waiver…
President Gottfredson has passed the public records buck to Dave Hubin, who has passed it to a committee. It’s a mixed bag of appointees, mostly administrators, ranging from apathetic to obviously conflicted to excellent. None have recent experience making public records requests to UO. Their charge – or at least the…
The Daily Emerald reports their audit of UO public records requests finds significant problems with the UO General Counsel’s compliance with the law. But the president is denying anything is wrong: “If there were a persistent violator or you had the door slammed in your face, that would indicate training…
Be afraid, you lurking forces of darkness. Be very afraid. And while you’re at it Commentators, be sure to ask Dave Hubin and the public records office for those EMU election emails, because the ODE never will. 10/26/2012.
In March, during the union certification drive, I made a public records request for documents showing what law firms and consultants were advising Berdahl. I got these heavily redacted contracts and invoices. (Maybe a bit too heavily redacted, Randy?) No charge, though it did take a petition to Lane County…
10/15/2012: No, I don’t mean Dave Hubin’s Kafkaesque new fees and delays, or his “Administrative Advisory Group”. I literally mean Kafkaesque.
by passing the buck to an “Administrative Advisory Group”, though I suppose it’s possible he’s looking for cover to do the right thing. Last I heard Dave was still claiming that the $200 fee waiver policy he and Berdahl rescinded in May had really only been implemented by Lariviere on…
Secret slide update on Senate IAC expels student-journalists from meeting
6/6/2013 update: AAD for finance Eric Roedl’s secret athletic slides, with redactions, here. Oregon Commentator Nick Ekblad got them via a public records request, after the IAC voted to kick him out of their meeting on budgets and athletic subsidies. More below. Why in the world would the blacked out…
