Back when I was naive and optimistic I once told Pres Lariviere that I thought people in Johnson Hall were just telling him what they thought he wanted to hear. He looked at me with a blank face and said “Gee Bill, you think?”. So let’s find out what Tim…
After initially arguing that the search policy that the Senate developed and Pres Schill adopted as UO Policy was “just advisory”, Woodruff-Borden has, after the expenditure of much effort and time by the Senate leadership, United Academics (who filed a grievance) and many others, finally been brought to her senses…
And I thought I was the only one who had trouble getting info from Johnson Hall:
Dear William, I’m writing with some great news! More than eight hundred faculty members at Miami University in Ohio officially have a union today after an overwhelming majority of faculty cast ballots in favor of forming a new unionized chapter of the AAUP and the American Federation of Teachers. As…
Thought I’d repost this bit of history, no particular reason: 2/20/2013: Congratulations to Nathan Tublitz and the Senate: SPQUO. Stupid and futile gesture works! Dear colleagues, I am writing to let you know that James Bean has requested a return to his faculty position at the Lundquist College of Business at the end…
2/2/2021: No details on the deal til 4PM today. Maybe some wealthy UO donor finally decided to start paying for the students, like he pays for the coaches raises? While UO’s students pay the Ducks $1.7M a year for “free” tickets, at Maryland the athletic department pays the students to…
Dean Marcilyn Burke will ask the Board of Trustees for a 7% increase – but it’s a shell game. She will keep the money for the law school’s own budget, including more fee remissions. So actual cost will barely change, and after scholarships law students will still pay only ~50%…
From Ryan Nguyen in the Emerald: The University of Oregon’s original estimate of how many of its graduate employees it failed to pay last October has doubled from 350 to 700 since the mistake was first announced, according to an internal university report. The report reviews the October 2019 incident in which…
Today, Wednesday 2/12/2020, Location: EMU 145 & 146 (Crater Lake rooms) Sorry, no live-blogging this time. Expect a lively discussion over the proposal to expand the Expedited Tenure Policy to Assoc Prof hires, (vote) and the Guidelines for Academic Administrator Hiring – which would write down some minimal practices for…
Hannah Kannik has the protest story in the ODE here: “We are out here plugging folks to show up to a community meeting at the end of this month,” Pishioneri said. “We’re also getting signatures not only to be added to our email list but also to be taken up…
5/2/2019 update:
The Oregonian’s James Crepea has the scoop here:
Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens is a candidate for the recently vacated position at Texas A&M, according to a source with knowledge of the search. …
Which is sort of odd, because when he got his last raise he said he wanted to stay in Eugene and raise his family here.
7/7/2017: Rob Mullens’ secret $10M 8-year porkalicious contract & perverse incentives
Senators and Presidents at the Faculty Club, January 29, 2019 Dear Colleagues, The Faculty Club is open this week, at the usual times (5-8 on Wednesday and Thursday). Wednesday, rub elbows with the UO Senators, many of whom repair to the Faculty Club after their body adjourns—this is an excellent…
