resources manager.
JH is in total meltdown. They could really do with taking a look at the article on adamenfroy.com which lists the 5 best PEO companies of 2021, as the services of a PEO company would be invaluable to them at this moment in time. Why? Because they have lost control of payroll, accounting, and basic human resources management, and they’ve put out an emergency bid for consultants. Deadline now extended to June 10. The last time this happened we paid Huron millions. The bid info is on the OUS website: https://secure.ous.edu/bid/opportunities/1654

4/2/2014: That’s the latest from rumor control. VPFA Jamie Moffitt hired him in October, according to this announcement from UO’s “Office of Strategic Communications”. According to the Sept search announcement he was charged with, among other things, union contract implementation and grievances. The outside search was conducted by Kim Morrison of Diversified Search, Inc.
anybody have the scoop on what happened here?
I heard it was a botched hire by Jamie Moffitt.
Was he ever really HERE?
Must not have been… I can’t imagine it was cheap to hire the guy, probably paid some search firm a bundle.
In this case, specific and high level expertise is needed for a smooth transition within the various units that work on HR/hiring/benefits/affirmative action. It needs to be done with sensitivity and arms-length analysis. Good situation for an outside entity to come in and make change, and to provide additional human capital to a significantly under-staffed group on campus.
PS in the end, the work that Heron group did with Sponsored Projects Services totally turned that unit around. It is one of the best run, most helpful, and high producing central admins on campus.
And btw, I am from a department/user, not from central admin.
Thanks, any idea why Mark Yuran left?
JH is in complete breakdown. Please, trustees, do something to prevent the free fall? Rob Mullens for UO President might even be welcome news at this point.
