Long, very interesting story on the attorneys who are representing the survivor of the alleged basketball gang rape, and the effects their cases have had on campus culture and policy, in the WaPo here: BOULDER, Colo. — The phone calls come in waves, sometimes one or two a week, sometimes eight…
Meeting in Eugene now, as reported in InsideHigherEd: “It blows my mind that students who cheat on the SAT get to take the test again — why aren’t they outed to all of your schools?” said Hamilton Gregg, a counselor at Harrow International School, in Beijing, who wrote a blog…
A helpful commenter points to the report from Diane Dietz, in the RG here.
I gave Doug Park the “zip drive” back in January. UO still hasn’t released a single page. When the Presidential Archives are finally made public it will be obvious that someone has deleted large swathes of UO history and many important documents from the official record – even before Dave Hubin’s PR Office did…
Michelle Brence has the wrap-up here.
“The legacy of mistrust is pretty deep”. Brent Walth has the interview in the Fall 2010 Oregon Quarterly with Richard Lariviere, here:
Eder Campuzano has the shocking story, here. From 1966.

Here: Phil Knight’s announcement last week that he plans to relinquish his role as Nike chairman and move most of his company stock into a limited liability company was not surprising.

7/5/2015: This Posner guy has a decent vitae, he’d probably have tenure if not for his obvious problem following the policy on civility and cyberbullying. No word on whether the law school is pursuing disciplinary action for his comments in Slate, here:
… I say that gratuitous interference in other people’s lives is bigotry.
… The chief justice criticizes the majority for “order[ing] the transformation of a social institution that has formed the basis of human society for millennia, for the Kalahari Bushmen and the Han Chinese, the Carthaginians and the Aztecs. Just who do we think we are?” We’re pretty sure we’re not any of the above. And most of us are not convinced that what’s good enough for the Bushmen, the Carthaginians, and the Aztecs should be good enough for us. Ah, the millennia! Ah, the wisdom of ages! How arrogant it would be to think we knew more than the Aztecs—we who don’t even know how to cut a person’s heart out of his chest while’s he still alive, a maneuver they were experts at.
… Prohibiting gay marriage is discrimination.

From Ryan Thorburg in the RG, here: Helfrich would like to see more elite prospects on campus for summer camps, but last month he said Oregon is not going to pay large sums of money to high school coaches just to attract talent. “We didn’t get some kids on campus…

From the Oregonian, here. Apparently this list of state-subsidized capital projects is all but final. They did fund a match for the private donations to the “College and Careers” building, which will provide brand new offices for the CAS administration. You’ve got to wonder how that became one of UO’s highest fundraising…
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education advocates for free speech for students and faculty. Starting last summer they decided to ramp up their game, with a legal fund set up to hire local law firms to sue universities that violated free speech rights. They’ve had a good year: One year ago…
