The jocks don’t even have the goddam common decency to give the academic side a reach-around, and pay off the Matt Court land and Jaqua tutoring first. Chris Hansen has the report in the RG on the latest duck-pork, here:
In the Albany Democrat-Herald, here: One of the worries we had regarding these governing boards was that they would feel no particular allegiance to the idea that the public’s business needed to be conducted in public. These early moves by the University of Oregon’s board have done nothing to ease…
More docs here. Next to the Olum center seems to be the most likely decision. Construction will be rather disruptive to the children, but they are small and weak, and easily moved around:
On a $93M base, for a 6% increase. Almost all the money goes to “administrative expenses”. Last year Eric Roedl told the IAC he was forecasting 3%. This year he’s not talking to the IAC. To add to the injury, they are hiring another fundraiser to help persuade more donors…

If Dana Altman, Rob Mullens, and Mike Gottfredson had succeeded in their efforts to keep the basketball rape allegations secret, the Ducks might still be trying to sell tickets with messages like this: Fortunately the press found out, the athletic department caught hell in the sort of way that might…
Bob Keefer has the rumor – but the details are behind his gated Eugene Art Talk blog, here.
Three years after they were formed, two years after they got Glocks, one year after the Bowl of Dicks. It’s strange, I haven’t heard anything about this in the Senate or Senate Exec. Around the 0 has the story here. Who is on the committee? How did they get appointed?…
Presumably one of the agenda items will be the AAU’s efforts to develop a profitable “Campus Climate Survey” to compete with Jennifer Freyd’s free open-source alternative.
