I can’t imagine why they are stalling. With luck, Prof Tublitz will get these names in time for me to post them before the bargaining session with Jamie Moffitt starts:

Dear Ms Joubran:
I submitted the following request over a month ago. Can you please tell me why your response is taking so long and when I will be supplied with the requested information? It is a simple request that should not take very long to fulfill.
Thanks very much,
N. Tublitz

The university is uncertain whether it possesses the records you have
requested. However, the university will search for the records and make
a response to your request as soon as practicable.
If documents exist and may be provided, the office will provide the
documents electronically to avoid a copy fee of 25 cents per page. The
office also charges for the actual cost of making public records
available. The charge includes, but is not limited to, staff costs for
locating, gathering, summarizing, compiling, reviewing, tailoring or
redacting the public records to respond to a request. The charge may
also include the cost of time spent by an attorney in reviewing the
public records, redacting material from the public records, or
segregating the public records into exempt and nonexempt records.
The cost of time for each employee is calculated by multiplying the
employee’s hourly wage calculation (including benefits expenses) by the
hours or portions thereof necessary to locate, gather, summarize,
compile, tailor, review, redact, segregate, certify or attend the
inspection of the public records requested.
Thank you for contacting the University with your request.
Sincerely,
Daphne Joubran

Thanks to Nathan and all the UO faculty working hard to keep Johnson Hall honest. It may come as a shock to hear this, but sometimes I wish the bubble that is the big business of higher education today would burst. Unfortunately, the damage would extend beyond the arrogant fat cats in JH and hurt many good people. But if only we could start over.
