Update: VP for Finance Frances Dyke has issued the first of what I am guessing will be many corrections to the memo below. I’ll post the final version after they converge. [PLEASE NOTE: The original version of this e-mail contained an error regarding past increases in faculty/staff parking fees. Rates…

9/3/2010: Eugene will likely use federal stimulus money to remodel 13th between Alder and Kincaid, hope they do it soon. Alan Pittman doesn’t like it, but to me this looks like a nice improvement to the rundown street that is UO’s real entrance, for everyone except the jocks that get…
8/27/2010: By Ben Jacklet in Oregon Business: … George Fox fielded a football team from 1894 to 1968 but dropped it when the team could no longer compete. Bringing back football after a 42-year absence is a point of pride to University President Robin Baker, and a smart business decision.…
7/29/2010: Stefan Verbano has a piece in the ODE on the new 153 slot parking lot UO will build to replace the space athletics took for the Jock Box. The city has decided to extend the public comment period another week: The Campus Planning and Real Estate website lists the…
7/13/2010: DPS Captain Herb Horner has been in charge of parking at UO for years. Back in April, he was interviewed by the Daily Emerald about the big increases in parking fees and fines that would be needed to pay for the underground parking garage that UO had to build…
7/6/2010: Stefan Verbano of the Daily Emerald has a story on a new UO parking lot. Enjoy: In addition to boosting parking spaces in the area, the new lot will also indirectly benefit the surrounding community by incorporating permeable asphalt paving and a large drainage course called a bioswale to help…
6/29/2010: Here’s a little more info on parking revenues. My understanding is that this is before the new 33% increase in faculty/staff fees, from $300 to $400, which takes effect in the 2010-2011 FY. I’ve been here for long enough that average nominal faculty compensation has almost doubled. Parking fees…
6/29/2010: UO’s 2010 parking plan is here, a summary is posted here. Some abstracts: The East Campus Residence Hall project is the most recent project that will affect the parking supply east of campus. It will displace roughly 300 parking spaces in the Bean Hall parking lot (large parking lot…
6/29/2010: A helpful reader sent some actual data on the costs of the underground arena parking and how they will split between the athletic department and the academic side. Not sure if this is current. (Click to enlarge.) 6/22/2010: The latest increase in faculty/staff parking fees (from $300 to $400,…
6/4/2010: Bill Graves of the Oregonian has a new story on the latest sports facility craziness here. This seems to be another “gift that keeps on taking,” like the Jock Box: But Phit’s gift does not come without costs. The license agreement requires the university to employ a facilities manager,…
4/27/2010: Parking pdate: The ODE follows up their excellent reporting on parking with an angry editorial: … What’s more, more than a third of the 377 spots in the arena parking structure are reserved for users of the Jaqua Academic Center for Student-Athletes. DPS paying for the arena structure bond…
4/20/2010: Dave Martinez and Alex Tomchak Scott have an excellent article in the Daily Emerald today about parking. Takeaway is that UO raised the student parking fee from $125 to $300 and the quantity demanded fell from 4000 to 1000. I’m no economist, but I think they call that elastic,…
2/22/2010: Seems like a good time to remind people that the UO athletics department’s claims of self-sufficiency are pretty thin. Through a very odd deal tied to a failed sports gambling game, the state Lottery Commission pays $1.2 million a year to the UO athletic department for athletic scholarships. The…
70 spots, 2 cars. Note the special free Jaqua Center hang tags. The full lot in the back is for the (Knight) Law School professors. OK Mr. Slusher, you’ve proved your point. We get it. You own us. Let me be the first to say that Nike does not use…
1/7/2010: I’m not sure of the accuracy of these numbers, comments welcome: The construction of the Jaqua center took away about 150 parking spots, and shifted about 150 more from general use to athletes only. These will eventually need to be replaced with a parking garage. Current construction costs for…
