Sara Germano has the latest wildly improbable claim from Lord Coe in the WSJ here: Nike Inc. has pledged $13.5 million toward renovations of track and field facilities at the University of Oregon, part of an upgrade that would facilitate the venue’s hosting of the 2021 World Track & Field…
Reporter Olivia Decklar has the news: UO will rename buildings named after racists: Black students say that’s not enough. This is a surprise to me, I thought discussions had just started. Previous posts on Deady here.
1/4/2016: Rumor down at the faculty club is that the legislators are backing away from the IAAF only bill, and instead preparing to load it up with pork for the rest of the state too, in hopes of buying the necessary 3/5 majority. 12/31/2015: Olympic Decathlete Ashton Eaton to lobby legislature for…
Apparently none of the first 3 finalists worked out – long delay between job posting and interviews – so candidate #4 will be on campus Monday and Tuesday.

11/3/2015: Here’s hoping this hire will replace AAEO Director Penny Daugherty ASAP. I’ll post candidate materials as they become available. The President’s website link for this restarted search is here, job description here.
In the RG letters, here. I’m pleased that The Register-Guard took the time to explore the life and times of Vin Lananna. He’s been very effective at pulling together a public/private partnership that’s provided great rewards for our community. We should all support and celebrate his success. I know Lananna…
The Oregonian’s Les Zaitz has a series of reports, here. The US Attorney’s statement is here. From what I can tell this started about 5 years ago when a rancher SE of Burns decided to clear out some sagebrush with a few unauthorized fires, including one that was apparently intended to cover up some…
The RG has the story, here: University of Oregon: goosing Google for a better reputation President Schill: “What we don’t want is — when you put in a Google search that says the ‘University of Oregon’ — we shouldn’t be coming up primarily about basketball players doing things, sexual violence-type…
From an editorial in the Bend Bulletin over UO’s plan to hit up the legislature for more athletic subsidies, here: … There’s also more than a whiff of scandal around the meet. The controversy centers on the no-bid award that gave Eugene the right to host the games. It involves Nike, Sebastian…
The RG’s Austin Meek has the rumor, here.
Actually, after 6 months or so, the Bar’s General Counsel Helen Hierschbiel has decided they aren’t even willing to conduct an investigation. Too bad. Who knows, that might have helped clear Park and Hill’s names:
Whoops, that’s what the Russian economists said Moscow would get from the 2013 IAAF championships: 8 billion TV viewers? World population is 7 billion. For Eugene, EcoNorthwest’s prediction is 600% higher – for a $568M “total output contribution” and the equivalent of 2,608 full-year job equivalents. All that from a 10 day-long…
Update: Diane Dietz reports Track Town’s Vin Lananna will ask the state to double the hotel tax, to pay the IAAF’s demands. In the RG here: The forecast budget includes state tax dollars to pay for: $7.2 million for prizes $14 million to host the broadcast $9 million for accommodations $6…
Diane Dietz has the story on their good work, in the RG here.
It’s not hard. The Chronicle has the story here, which involved an experiment with a fake online class the professors set up to see if they could detect cheaters: “Joey” emailed that he needed someone to take a 10-week accelerated course in introductory psychology, and inquired if the company was…
