With the lawsuit over the alleged basketball rapes picking up steam, Johnson Hall is in a dicey situation regarding allegations they’ve been mishandling sexual assaults. Changes in procedures might imply that there was something wrong with the old procedures and increase liability. Sure enough, it seems like not much is changing. From Scott Greenstone and…

“The materials for this portion of the agenda are not yet complete”. The meeting is Monday at 3PM, Room 402 in the Alumni Center. BOT Secretary Angela Wilhelms has done her best to evade the intent of public meetings law a few times before, this is getting pretty shameless. Coltrane…
2/7/2014 update: It turns out the ASUO committee tie-breaker vote reported below was disallowed. They are going to meet again Tuesday 8AM (in the Rogue River room, I think) to try again. Presumably AAD Eric Roedl will be there, hat in hand. If the committee can’t come to an agreement,…
Seriously? Oregon has managed to corrupt the idea of a Gross National Happiness measure? Why can’t our politicians stick to sleazy construction deals and garbage contracts, like the rest of the world does? The Oregonian reports that state bureaucrats are now releasing incriminating public records with abandon, trying to save…
That would be Tobin Klinger, of course. Today in “Around the 0”. Don’t bother to google it, waste of time. He doesn’t mention GradGate either. When is the administration going to hire someone competent to put out some actual information?
Dave Hubin’s Public Records Office doesn’t seem to want to make that public. So I’ve cced Doug Park on the followup. We’ll see if he’ll oblige. Surely Doug Park and Doug Blandy were careful to put the terms for an important investigation like this in writing. Right? Or were they so afraid that…
2/5/2015 update: A reader passes along this Brad Shelton powerpoint, which among other things documents the $1.5M Moffitt to Moffitt transfer: The bottom line though, is that there’s plenty of water in the well. Or at least that’s what Brad Shelton was telling UO’s academic deans in September: I wonder…
I went to a couple of the finalist interviews and looked through the resumes. I thought Ms Resnick was the best candidate, and I think this hire is good news for UO: Date: February 5, 2015 at 4:29:40 PM PST From: “Human Resources” <[email protected]> Subject: Personnel Announcement from Jamie Moffitt,…
Tobin Klinger, UO’s $115K Deputy Strategic Communicator, has a rather saccharine-sweet report on Session I in “Around the 0”: Maybe the rest of Mr. Klinger’s post has content. I wouldn’t know, I barely made it to the toilet. Jennifer Winters’ report on last week’s Senate meeting is even worse. Some might…
Alea iacta est. I’m posting it all, despite the threats from VPAA Doug Blandy and Barbara Altmann, the claim of Interim President Scott Coltrane that this is unlawful, and the protests of Interim Provost Frances Bronet that it is immoral. I am not saying how I got these archives, and…
to make room for yet another Duck sports egofice: The new facility will be named the Jane Sanders Stadium after a UO cheerleader who attended the university in the late 1940s. Diane Dietz has the story in the RG, here. It touches on a lot of interesting UO history. I…
They won’t of course. The first rule of Dave Hubin’s Public Records office is to delay, redact, and charge out the butt for anything that might conceivably embarrass the Johnson Hall administration, or even just help the public understand what the hell is going on at Oregon’s flagship public university.…
A podcast for The Oregon Daily Emerald, here: Emerald reporters Dahlia Bazzaz and Alexandra Wallachy discuss news events from week 4 at the University of Oregon and beyond, including: a leak of 22,000 UO admin. records, … It starts with an excellent summary of the UO presidential archive release. About 7 minutes…
The Chronicle of Philanthropy has the news: A federal judge today handed open-records activist Carl Malamud a victory in his battle to get the Internal Revenue Service to release Form 990 tax returns in a format that can be read by computers, thus making information about nonprofit operations far more…
Thanks to a student for forwarding the message – here’s hoping Doug Park doesn’t try to nail me on a FERPA violation for posting it: University of Oregon Young Americans for Liberty will be meeting at 6:30 tonight in Peterson 103. We will be walking over to the Knight Law Center together to…
