    Mike Schill derives his approach to leadership from extensive studies of the ancient Roman philosopher, Marcus Gelatinous, who famously posited that “invertebrati semper nobiscum erunt.”

    The Emerald seems ineffective to say the least. Kara Gouchers new book The Longest Race should be required reading at UO and Mary Cains video by NYT on youtube provides additional important info – it is called I Was The Fastest Girl in America Until I Joined Nike…Eugene has become a low info cesspool

    And OSU’s new pres claims they will raise their graduation rate to 100%! That must be good stuff they handed her up there!

      Yeah, when I first heard that, I said, “Riiiiight…” out loud, as part of a many-voiced chorus. Which, of course, started a conversation, and got people thinking about what it means to make such an audacious statement.

      More a mindset than a metric, this goal will require us to productively disrupt many of the ways we are organized and approach our work. Every member of our community should approach their work, their responsibilities and their obligations toward the academic fulfillment and success of our students.

        “More a mindset than a metric” = “We will turbocharge massive grade inflation until everyone graduates!”

      • OSU is looking good, never thought I'd say it 11/21/2023

        That whole OSU website is good reading. Three goals, 5 actions top 5 strategic targets, implementation. The actual target is 80% graduation in 6 years.

        Scholz’s strategic initiatives have similarities, but not as clearly defined. UO is by nature messier (call it heterogeneous) than our engineering neighbor, but I’m lacking optimism that we can do anything top down. CAS is broken. Kind of want to move to OSU….
