8/3/2014 update: On Friday UO’s AA Director Penny Daugherty posted UO’s 2014-15 Affirmative Action Plan. Only a month late, which by her standards is not bad. Some years she doesn’t bother to file it at all. The new PDF is here. The stats and hiring goals are at the back.…
That’s my take, from this excellent Josephine Wollington story in the ODE: “What am I supposed to do again when someone tells me they’ve been sexually assaulted?” … The 21-year-old UO junior didn’t know she was a mandatory reporter until summer 2011. No written policy, no explanation, she said. “No one…
The NYT raises the question. Several of the NYT panelists mention mentoring and programs to get girls interested in science, as an alternative to heavy handed quotas and hiring preferences. UO has a lot of successful fill the pipeline programs to do that, and is building more. Meanwhile here is some…
9/24/2012 update: From: Penny Daugherty Subject: RE: 2012-2013 AA planDate: September 24, 2012 12:46:33 PM PDTCc: Annie Bentz The reference to October 31, 2010 data in footnote 8 is in error. I will work with staff to make the necessary correction, and arrange for the copy posted on our webpage…
Federal law requires annual updates, the 2012-13 plan was due 7/1/2012. The OFCCP has investigated Penny Daugherty’s AAEO office before for their repeated failure to do these plans, and for backdating them to make it look like they had. Last year Lariviere signed it late and just left off the…
7/3/2012 update: I got interested in public records matters back in 2006, after Melinda Grier and AA Director Penny Daugherty tried to charge me $200 to see copies of UO’s Affirmative Action plans – documents which state clearly on the cover that they are to be made freely available on…
at OSU: The university ombuds position at OSU is designed to serve the campus community by acting as a designated neutral, independent and confidential referral resource in resolution of concerns. The ombuds is not an advocate for any individual or the university, but rather acts as an advocate for fairness…
10/23/2011: Very interesting RG story by Greg Bolt, on UO’s role in Lane County employment: Employment at the UO has grown across the board, with increases seen in nearly every job category. The university has more teachers, professors, administrators, clerical staff, laborers and technicians today than it did before the…
3/9/2011: Comments are heavily in favor of the surplus office and some obscure but important sounding A/R thing. Also support for a dedicated staff training room. Makes sense. Then for video conferencing for central admin – doesn’t everyone use skype for that? Here’s one on the Diversity police academy idea:…
11/10/2010: I used to be a skeptic about Affirmative Action. But the rules boil down to this: have a public announcement of job openings and an open search – or a good explanation for why not. If you are spending taxpayer’s money, report your hiring practices and outcomes to the…
8/1/2010: The job ad says apply by 7/8 for full consideration, but there’s still no sign that UO has managed to find a taker for the General Counsel position. It’s now more than three months since Melinda Grier was fired. Meanwhile Doug Park is getting a $1400 stipend tacked onto…
7/15/2010: A reader points us to this announcement of a reorganization in the Student Affairs office. Looks pretty straightforward to me. These “Notices of Intent to Promote” are required by UO’s Affirmative Action Plan – which was once again illegally backdated, and is now out of date yet again. As…
5/4/2010: Lots of OSU visitors lately. Sorry, we got nothing for you, just UO stuff. Get your own blog! Wait, here’s a copy of the OSU Affirmative Action plan. Your Associate General Counsel Charles E. Fletcher tried to sell this to us, and said he didn’t want it posted online.…
1/29/2010: Also see here. AAEO Director Penny Daugherty only started working on this draft because of pressure from the OFCCP and, perhaps, the Oregon DOJ. What is going on? Dear Attorney General Kroger: As the email below indicates, the UO General Counsel’s office has denied my request for a fee…
