What are the chances they’ll cut Shelton’s bloated salary to reflect his decreased responsibilities? The job ad for the permanent Dean of the Grad School is here:

Brad Shelton isn’t the Dean of the Gradudate School – that would be Andy Berglund.
Kimberly Espy was VP of Graduate Education as well as Research. When Brad became VP they decided to move GE off of his duties and Andy became interim of GE. So this is just moving ahead with finding a permanent dean of GE.
Berglund reports to Shelton. As I read the job description the next Dean will instead report directly to Bronet.
After being under the “direction” of Kimberly Espy, the Graduate School was probably more than ready to separate from that office!
remember, everyone is interim around her now
I suggest we rename ourselves to Interim Oregon University
since that would be IOU and that would certainly be a big plus
for us getting into the final four for the football tourney
I’ve got a lot of money tied up in University of Nike coffee cups, but this is an excellent suggestion.
Any chance you can get it onto a sidewalk stencil?
and wear some nice shoes for the contest!
The Graduate School dean reports directly to the provost, not to the VP research, and has since Espy left in May.
