8/6/2013: This is unacceptable! But don’t worry, former UO law professor Jim O’Fallon and his NCAA Committee on Infractions are on the case. In the past they’ve made unpaid student-athletes repay these sorts of ill-gotten gains. Still no word on how much Rob Mullens and President Gottfredson made Chip Kelly pay…

8/6/2013: It now takes months and hundreds of dollars to get public records from UO. OUS is quicker, but often no cheaper. Both adjust their pace to the politics. And apparently Gottfredson’s performance has now become a political issue for OUS. I sent OUS a follow-up request for information about…
8/5/2013: Joe Mosley has a write-up in “Around the O”.
8/5/2013: Jeff Mapes has the story in the Oregonian: A Salem judge has ruled that Local 503 of the Service Employees International Union has violated the state’s nonprofit laws by failing to hold annual membership meetings, withholding certain records from members and improperly trying to change its corporate structure. The…
8/4/2013. From Harry Esteve in the Oregonian. 1.5% then 2% ATB, plus annual 4.5% steps for those who haven’t topped out. Plus an end to the furloughs for a onetime increase of about 5%, though of course less time off. The contract for UO staff is separate, and SEIU is still…
8/3/2013: From the comments, a petition to keep Frohnmayer and Knight off the UO Board: http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/keep-phil-knight-and.fb28?source=s.icn.fb&r_by=18742128/2/2013: Sounds like he got chewed out by Kitzhaber’s office, over the process UO used to select nominees for the board. Other than that his email is the usual drivel. If you want substance watch Ed…
8/1/2013 update: That was back in April, for the Jan, Feb and March invoices. Now UO is stonewalling again. Almost 2 months since I asked Dave Hubin and Randy Geller for the April, May, and June invoices for Rudnick, and the other firms advising the admin bargaining team. The DOJ…

7/31/2013: Back in July 2011 UO got in trouble with the State auditors for post-dating Frohnmayer’s retirement contracts and no bothering to specify what work he’d done for the money. Then Bean got in trouble with Davis for hiring his buddy John Moseley for an extended post-retirement gig without bothering to…

7/29/2013: Great news. The university has finally published a comprehensible budget, a strategic plan, and information on future spending priorities. 114 pages, starting with a fact-filled letter from the President, followed with detailed reports on what has been achieved and what remains to be achieved from the 2009 academic plan. There’s…
7/29/2013: Job posting in the Chronicle here. The hiring committee is here, Alec Murphy chairs. The search firm is Isaacson Miller. From what I can tell their most recent prior contract with UO was for the CFO search in 2011, which failed. President Lariviere then made the command decision to…
