6/16/2013: Those who have heard Bean babble on about online-ed and MOOCs will love this proposal for MOOAs. (Thanks to commenter for link.)
And by popular demand here’s the budget for LCB: Instructional salary expenditures up 44% since 2008, administrative costs up 194%. And that’s before the $320K + OPE beamer is back on the payroll, and all the new hiring that Dean Kees gets into below. Oh wait, Bean will probably get most of his money from the instructional account. Hilarious.
6/15/2013. I’m speechless. I like the banjo though, even if it’s missing a string ;).

I’ll get Bean’s contract in July, but I’m guessing he will get $320K, and keep the JH parking spot for his beamer. President Gottfredson should be embarrassed. LCB Dean Kees de Kluyver is shameless. Ham Miller was a central Oregon lumberman, great history and photos of the family business here. Read the entire letter from de Kluwyer on how Bean will escape his teaching responsibilities, and other LCB news:
2. Jim Bean returns to LCB. As you know, Jim Bean will return to LCB on July 1 as the Harry B. Miller Professor of Business. For this summer and the 2013-2014 academic year Jim will still have significant central administrative responsibilities related to (a) preparing bylaws and staffing proposals for an independent UO board, (b) developing a systematic plan to enhance the presence at the UO of faculty in scientific and technical fields, especially those with research and teaching interests in transformational areas, (c) shaping UO capital campaign objectives, and (d) continuing the planning for the White Stag facility and development of campus interests in Portland.
Jim will also hold the title of Associate Dean for Interdisciplinary Programs in LCB. In this (part-time) role he will lead the development of a proposal for a Portland-based UO interdisciplinary graduate (Masters) degree program in Sports Product Management. The proposal calls for this cutting edge program to be offered by LCB, in conjunction with faculty from A&AA, SoJC and the Law School. In the development of this proposal, Jim will be working with Ellen Devlin (consultant), Roger Best (Emeritus faculty) and the Warsaw Center faculty and staff on the design of the program, with UO Portland staff on issues of space and administrative support, and with myself, the Deans of A&AA and Journalism, and the UO’s Senior Vice Provost on issues of implementation, staffing and funding.

Subject: Thank You for Another Great Year!
Date: June 14, 2013 4:24:13 PM P
Dear Colleagues:
With the academic year coming to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for an outstanding year of accomplishments and wish you a productive and restful summer. I hope to see you at one or more of our graduation ceremonies later today or on Monday. In the meantime, I ask you to carefully read the balance of this message for a few important announcements. Please do not hesitate to call or visit if you have any questions.
1. We have two “seniors” in the Dean’s office. Sergio Koreisha and Dave Boush will have the new title of Senior Associate Dean effective July 1. This change was made in view of recent and pending internal organizational changes (John Hull’s promotion to Assistant Dean for Center Operations, Jim Bean’s appointment as a part-time Associate Dean – see below) and to more closely resemble the most prevalent academic structures in peer business schools.
2. Jim Bean returns to LCB. As you know, Jim Bean will return to LCB on July 1 as the Harry B. Miller Professor of Business. For this summer and the 2013-2014 academic year Jim will still have significant central administrative responsibilities related to (a) preparing bylaws and staffing proposals for an independent UO board, (b) developing a systematic plan to enhance the presence at the UO of faculty in scientific and technical fields, especially those with research and teaching interests in transformational areas, (c) shaping UO capital campaign objectives, and (d) continuing the planning for the White Stag facility and development of campus interests in Portland.

3. Two new additions to the BoA. I am pleased to announce two outstanding individuals have joined the BoA:
· Ross J. Kari recently retired from the position of chief financial officer of Freddie Mac. He held this position since September 2009 and was responsible for the company’s financial controls, accounting, investor relations, financial planning and reporting, tax, capital oversight, and compliance with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley. Additionally, he oversaw the Investment and Capital Markets division and management of Freddie Mac’s mortgage investment activities.
Ross is a veteran finance executive with broad experience in the mortgage business and financial services industry. Previously, he served as chief financial officer of Fifth Third Bancorp in Cincinnati, Ohio. Before joining Fifth Third, Ross served as executive vice president and CFO of Safeco Corporation in Seattle where he managed a team of 250 financial professionals and helped grow business line revenue while enhancing essential risk management processes. From 2002 to 2006, he served as executive vice president and chief operating officer for another housing government-sponsored enterprise, the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco.
Ross spent a large portion of his career at Wells Fargo from 1983 to 2001, during which time he rose from senior financial analyst to executive vice president and chief financial officer. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and earned his MBA in Finance, graduating first in his class, both from the University of Oregon.
· Merritt Richardson leads NIKE Golf’s efforts to create premium apparel and footwear for modern, athletic golfers around the world. She is responsible for providing strategic guidance and aligning the creative ideas and energy of a team of product managers, designers and merchandisers against the needs of athletes to drive profitable growth for the business.
Prior to this role, Merritt’s experiences have ranged from administering the annual budget process for the entire company to directing the teams that create footwear for women runners; from a special assignment with the CEO to a stint in NIKE’s renowned Innovation Kitchen to overseeing the Brand’s efforts related to the 2012 London Olympics.
A native Oregonian, Merritt received a B.S. in Business Administration from Oregon State University, but her sport allegiances lie firmly behind the University of Oregon Ducks. She is currently serving as a board member for the UO Student-Athlete Mentoring Program and is a past board member of the Oregon Club of Portland, which raises awareness and funding for UO Athletics. She and her family are long-time devoted Duck football supporters, travelling to all games, home and away.
4. Branding for a capital campaign. Many of you heard the brand story presentation by Chris Van Dyke at our most recent faculty meeting. Chris and the other members of the Songlines team interviewed many of you and generated distinctive themes that can be developed into a compelling message for the college.
We plan to carry this effort forward so that, with all deliberate speed, we can identify a single differentiating slogan. To this end I have appointed a task force (Dave Boush, John Hull, Jim Engelhardt, Rebecca Monro, Katie Rohrer) whose charge will be to continue the discussion over the summer and into the fall. They will talk with many of you who were interviewed by Songlines and any of you who wish to weigh in for the first time.
Perhaps most importantly, they will coordinate with Tim Clevenger, the newly-appointed Associate Vice President for Communications, Marketing and Brand Management to align our branding with the University’s efforts. Once we land on a single message, the task force will develop a full marketing communications campaign that we can present to potential donors to roll out in early 2014.
5. Building Issues. Work on the Chiles Exterior Renovation project will begin on Tuesday, June 18. For the first week scaffolding and temporary fencing will be installed and other prep work will take place. The demo work of the bricks is set to begin around June 27. The Chiles Complex will be closed off during the project with the exception of the IS/IT Offices and Building Management on the 3rd floor of Chiles. The demolition will be noisy and staff most impacted will be temporarily moved. Classrooms in Peterson & Lillis that are most impacted have been closed for the summer. The work will continue through the first part of September. As the project progresses, we will provide updates related to timelines.
Please note:
o 293 Anstett will serve as the Technology Lab space for Summer 2013, with 30 computers and one printer available for student use.
o 262 Lillis will be the Technology Classroom (takes the place of 225 Chiles),with 30 computers available for student use.
o The BRI is closed during the summer — We will keep Katie Mercurio & Ben Foster up to date if any opportunities open up for its use
o Access to Building Management and the Information Services Staff can be gained through 3rd floor of Chiles; the Lab area will be closed off
o Classrooms in Peterson, Lillis & Chiles that are closed for summer: Peterson (101, 102, 103, 105, 107); Chiles (128, 225 & 1225A & 125B); Lillis (111, 211)
o The bike lockers between Chiles & Lillis will not be accessible. If you have one, the Parking & Transportation area either already has or will contact you with a new space for summer.
If you have any questions about any of these building issues, please contact Frank Sharpy at extension 6-4794, Shandon Bates at extension 6-3814, or me. We look forward finishing the update of Chiles. Your patience is appreciated.
Cordially,
Kees

Jason Vorhees, Freddy Krueger, Jim Bean. And so it goes.
This is parody, right? Or do they call it satire? Is that right?
These guys would make good company. I hope they’ll be cellmates someday!
The LCB Admin is a joke – from buffoonish blowhards to incompetent do-nothings to tyrannical assholes.
One quick look at their lack of accomplishment and their salaries makes it pretty hard to argue there isn’t administrative bloat at UO.
I bet we could pretty easily find $1 million or so for faculty salaries form LCB alone if anyone in JH was doing their job to evaluate these clowns and eliminating the golden parachutes they hand out like candy.
How many deans can it possibly take to completely screw things up?
Well now we know who Jamie’s reserves are for.
Kees should be embarrassed. Gottfredson even more so.
How is Songlines going to work in what this truly distinctive embarrassment?
“and to more closely resemble the most prevalent academic structures in peer business schools” ….. The continual growth of the administration in LCB is shocking. The student growth is exploding yet none of these high level administrative positions are benefitting the students or those of us who are trying to teach these students. Thankfully some funds are going into student services, but a mere drop in the bucket compared to this bloat. If you now take just the top 4 members of the soon to be LCB admin (KDD, 2 SENIOR Associate Deans, and Bean) you are talking about more than $1 million in compensation. Just getting rid of one of those is another 2 tenure track faculty members or 4 non tenure track faculty members. Think what that could mean for the students! And this at the time that our contracts have gone out and yet again no raises. Oh wait, that is what the union is for. But, with this kind of stuff allowed to happen well before any contract seems to be negotiated, there will be no funds for raises.
Agreed. It would be a different conversation if these high salaried deans produced any measurable value. de Kluyver was presumably brought in to raise considerable money and elevate the MBA program. It’s been 3 years and he has failed on both accounts. One associate dean has managed to destroy morale and trust. The other? No one has any idea what he does.
And Bean? Well, his record is clear.

Speaking of administrators check out MOOAs
And let’s not forget what Drake University got from its brand consultants (this is not a joke):
http://www.theawl.com/2010/09/drake-universitys-new-ad-campaign-its-a-big-d
Blandy and Gleason have said over and over at the bargaining table, with straight faces, that the UO is seriously “underresourced” with regard to administration.
I’d say “undercompetent”.
D+? The Onion couldn’t have written that better!
