Board of Trustees to perform due diligence theatre, Portland Th & Fr

UO Board Secretary Angela Wilhelms has buried the agendas in pdf’s, to make it hard to see what our board is up to. I’ve reformatted them as html below.  Among the items that our board will not be discussing in public:

1. UO’s current budget crisis and administrative bloat
2. UO’s future budget crisis and demographic cliff
3. Upcoming search to replace Pres Mike Schill
4. Legislative distrust of UO and resulting lack of state funding
5. IAAF 2021 subsidies
6. Upcoming Duck athletic scandals
7. Ducks by 6 points, watch party Saturday in Schill’s $350K Autzen skybox
8. Cost of football concussion insurance

All meetings in the UO-Portland Naito Building, Room 136, first floor to the left.
