4/8/2013: UO posts ad for new Assistant or Associate GC here. Key qualification? The Associate General Counsel reports to the General Counsel and may act on behalf of the General Counsel if the General Counsel is incapacitated … Randy’s parties do tend to get out of control.

4/3/2013: Thought I’d repost this Randy classic – no particular reason. 1/29/2013: Oregon has a law on government transparency: SB 2500, passed in 2009.

4/16/2013 update: Gottfredson’s first month or so at UO. The ratio of meetings cleary about sports to meetings clearly about academics is 5 to 11: 3/6/2013: Nearly 2 months late, and after a $108 public records charge, President Gottfredson’s official calendar finally arrived.

3/5/2013: It took almost two weeks to get a copy of Geller’s latest contract from Hubin’s PR office. Why? Presumably because it shows Berdahl tied Gottfredson’s hands by giving Randy a three year contract, at $200K a year. Even Bean only got two years. What sort of Interim President would…
Last summer the Senate IAC started trying to get data on the academic performance of student athletes, and for comparison, regular unathletic students. We were stonewalled. The Dolphin GC Randy Geller took the interesting position that federal law prevented faculty from seeing information on their students. After getting jerked around…
to defend UO against the Emeldi lawsuit, and try and take it to the SCOTUS. Seems like a good idea, and it’s not Frohnmayer or Rudnick. Diane Dietz RG has the story in the RG. Bio here. 1/21/2013. In other UO legal news, Randy’s website is down. Last time this happened it…
We’ve written a fair amount on UO General Counsel Randy Geller charging the academic side half the cost of “The Cleaner” Mike Glazier’s work on the Chip Kelly / Willie Lyles scouting business – while he and UO “Faculty Athletics Representative” Jim O’Fallon refused to share any information about the…
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.

11/23/2012: Diane Dietz in the RG: The University of Oregon breached its employment contract with former physics professor Thomas Mossberg when it dismantled his laboratory at the UO in 2004, a Marion County Circuit Court judge has ruled.

Update: See the comments for this correction, from Ms Emeldi’s lawyer, David Force, making clear that the Emeldi case is against UO, not against Prof Horner: There is not now and never has been a lawsuit by her against Dr. Horner. The sole defendant in the case is the University…
