I don’t know. Usually our administration gets very excited about metrics, and these seem to be key ones if you believe in that science stuff. The Oregon Health Authority posts the county numbers here: As does, for example, OHSU here, or UC-Boulder, here: UO, in comparison, only posts the number…

(Except a few lab and performance classes). That’s the rumor down at the faculty club. Apparently the dorms will stay open. Here’s hoping JH’s well-paid strategic communicators have the good sense not to blame this on our students. Or the faculty. Or the staff. Or the unions. On Thursday, the…

The university cited a “spate of COVID-19 infection clusters” in making the…
Thanks to a reader for the link to the survey results. Surprisingly few faculty mentioned wage cuts as an example of a helpful Admin response. https://oregon.ca1.qualtrics.com/reports/RC/public/b3JlZ29uLTVlZGU1MTkxZjNmYTcyMDAwZjk3MzFlNi1VUl84N1ZIQ2FCTkh5eGswS00= Response email from Provost: Dear Colleagues,It is our sincere hope that you and your respective families are experiencing some of the respite that summer…
