10/9/2010: Update, the DPS budget for 2006-2011 is here. Up a bit more than 100% *before* the costs of converting to a sworn force.. The whole of the College of Arts and Sciences, for comparison, is up a bit less than 50%.
Apparently DPS is having a hard time spending all the money Frances Dyke has been giving them, even after buying those bitchin 130 MPH Police Interceptors and SUVs. So now Director Doug Tripp is creating an “Office of Security”. The Director of Security job announcement is here, complete w/ phrases like “university security council” and “identify issues impacting internal security functions”. With staff, this new office should be able to burn an easy $500K per year. Why does this make me feel less secure about UO’s future?
