Sports Illustrated’s Richard Deitsch recruited a panel of 12 student newspaper sports editors, including the Daily Emerald’s Kenny Jacoby, to ask a few questions about covering big-time college sports. Here: Q: Has a school administrator/athletic department official ever threatened to take away your credentials? If yes, please describe in detail what happened Allentuck:…
Nicholas Kristof is the son of two PSU professors and grew up on a farm in Oregon. A few years ago we got him to come to campus and talk to our SAIL students. He is arguably the most liberal of the NY Times’s columnists, although it’s tough to top Krugman. Here’s his…
That would be the University of Virginia. The WaPo has the details here. He claimed the #blacklivesmatter movement which protests illegal killings by the police was like the KKK which committed lynchings.

From InsideHigherEd: The number of Ph.D. recipients rose by 1.9 percent in 2015, to 55,006 from 54,003 in 2014 — the smallest increase since 2011.

Just kidding, coach wants that $1.7M. UO is planning to raise student fees to pay for the new health center and keep the ticket subsidy for athletics. Diane Dietz has the story here.
Ryan Thorburn has his contract details in the RG. $3.2M a year for him, $4M for the players. Just kidding, this is the NCAA. The $4M is for his assistant coaches. He played football for uncle Jack, and coached with cousin Jim. But economics has no mercy. While Duck AD…
10AM in the JH Conference Room. I assume meetings on restricting the time, place and manner of free speech are open to the public. The Senate website has more here. I’ll be conducting the traditional JH lobby sit-in from 9:45 until the meeting starts, wearing a black shirt in protest.
In the NYT, of course: Yale Sets Policy That Could Allow Renaming of Calhoun College … “This isn’t about symbolic politics, but about the mission of the university,” said John Fabian Witt, a historian at Yale Law School and the chairman of the committee. Fostering an inclusive campus, he said,…
Colleen Flaherty has an interesting summary of the discussion in InsideHigherEd here: Point and counterpoint is the rhythm of academic life, but some ideas elicit more of a response than others. Case in point: scholars and other intellectuals have spent the past couple of weeks debating “The End of Identity…
I have no idea. The cousins aren’t talking. FishDuck.com thinks it’s a good idea, so sure. Yes, the NCAA graduation rates for WKU and FSU fell after Taggart took over, but whatever, he’s family:
Greg Schiano, a former Penn State assistant now at Ohio State, is a prospect for a Duck football coaching job, according to the RG’s Austin Meek: “The way I can describe Rutgers and (working under) Greg Schiano is ‘I came to Rutgers as a boy and left a man,’” Fleck told NJ.com. “I went…
(As updated with additional information from OSU.) This is considerably more useful than the brief report sent out by UO’s Hans Bernard today, and which I’ve posted in the UO BOT live blog below. You can get still more info on OSU’s excellent government affairs blog. In comparison UO’s website is here – brief…
