I’ve never understood why we bother to hire administrators, when they punt any important decision to outside consultants or lawyers. They are so terrified of getting fired that they are paralyzed from making their own decisions. Ironically, I think we should fire administrators who can’t think for themselves.

Of course after WE fire them, WE’LL hire an expensive search firm to help us bring on the next one. The joke truly is on us.

If by “us” you mean the students who are taking on load debt to pay for the consultants, hiring firm, and contract payouts. Sometimes I think upper administration of this place would be better left in the hands of students in the honors college.

This is exactly the kind of question that we don’t have the experience or capacity to answer. I do know there is a firm in Seattle that has done this kind of work before, why don’t we hire them to do it.

Don’t forget that your award can and will be used against you by UO. Right after they chase you out after refusing their orders to break the law.
Coltrane’s clueless shit eating grin during that exact moment as he handed out the award is how many of us will always remember him.
