He’s also the President of the Eugene Water and Electric Board. And he’s practicing transparency there too. Christian Wihtol has the story in the…
Everyone favors free speech they agree with. The acid test is defending speech you disagree with. UO has a strong policy defending such speech, here: The University of Oregon values and supports free and open inquiry. The commitment to free speech and freedom of inquiry described in this policy extends to all…

Jake New has the report in InsideHigherEd, here. Thrasher doesn’t come off as particularly credible: …The section of documentary about Florida State focuses on an assault allegedly committed by Jameis Winston, a former star player for the university’s football team. While Winston was not charged with a crime, the university and…

No surprise the google algorithm matched us. I hear Illig’s program is doing OK. In contrast Law Dean Michael Moffitt’s Alternative Dispute Resolution program must have been hit hard by the recent NYT series exposing endemic corporate abuses of arbitration. Moffitt’s previous NYT exposure – the “business school case study” – ended pretty disastrously.…
