but Dr. Pernsteiner and his crack team will decide when, and how much authority and independence it will have. Or that’s the essence of this 11/18/2011 press release from OUS:
Next steps for the committee outlined by co-chairs Paul Kelly and Allyn Ford are to develop what delegated authorities could be granted to university-level boards; determine what statutory changes would need to be made to implement these; and to prepare a draft legislative concept that would be presented in spring 2012.
The tone in Governor Kitzhaber’s letter, here, is a little more positive for UO and Lariviere’s New Partnership. But this process will take years, and meantime UO’s legal advice will all be from Pernsteiner approved lawyers. We are so screwed.
the nuclear option!
Doug Tripp. Pepper spray. The next OUS board meeting.
