UO Trustees meet Dec 3-4 at 8:30 AM, will not give Cristobal a raise or hear public comments

The meeting packets for these 2 days include an unprecedented level of detail on UO finances. I’ll be adding some snippets from them to the relevant selections below as the meetings progress, but in the meantime you can read the material for Dec 3 here and Dec 4 here.

From a quick read it seems UO has a plan in place to deal with the upcoming Duck Athletics and housing deficits, but Board Secretary Angela Wilhelms wants me to pay her $348.52 to see it.

Also our VP for Diversity and Inclusion has way too much time on her hands, or too many staff and consultants trying to look busy.

Agenda:

The Board meeting will be available via live stream.  Broadcasts available here for: Thursday, Dec. 3rd and Friday, Dec. 4th. No public comment period.

December 3, 2020 | 8:30 a.m. PT
