After the Freyd survey on UO rape and institutional betrayal, and the news reports on the astonishing lengths the UO administration went to keep the basketball rape allegations (and what else?) out of these reports, it’s hard to take them very seriously, but there is some presumably reliable data on…

I know what you’re thinking: Johnson Hall is going to start making decisions based on data? That would be news. Last time we checked in Provost Jim Bean didn’t even know how to calculate a percentage. But if they ever want to, they can now get slightly more info, in much…
9/30/2014: Now with a report from KATU News. UO’s well-paid PR flacks Craig Pintens and Tobin Klinger were apparently not willing to talk about this one on camera: 928/2014: It is, of course, common for repentant criminals to give “scared straight” talks about how their bad choices ruined their lives.…
We all know Mike’s $940K richer, and that he’s technically on the books at UC-Irvine as a Criminology professor for $240K a year. But what’s he really doing? My guess is that he’s topping off that $240K with some serious AAU money – in the spirit of his mentor Bob…
Excellent reporting. Read it all, here: … Targeting low-income students helps diversity because minority students are statistically more likely to fall into the low-income bracket, according to Grant Schoonover, an adviser for Pathway Oregon. “There’s a greater number of first generation and historically underrepresented students in that cross-section,” Schoonover said.…
The Student Press Law Center has the story, here: Krakauer, author of “Into the Wild” and “Under the Banner of Heaven,” is working on a book about sexual assaults at universities and was seeking information about the 2012 case involving the university’s quarterback, Jordan Johnson. According to the Helena District…

One of the more amusing parts of last year’s union bargaining was watching HLGR’s Sharon Rudnick try to get her head around intellectual property issues. The UO faculty negotiators and David Cecil (UAUO) and Mike Mauer (AAUP) did their best to give her an education while she charged UO $300…
Mike Gottfredson wanted respect too. So he got Doug Blandy and Tim Gleason to demand that the faculty union CBA included a clause requiring that the faculty respect him. Then he had Blandy and Gleason and Randy Geller write this “open letter”, attacking me for blogging about him without due…
Julie Brown has the story in “Around the 0”. Penny Daugherty is in charge of “investigations” and “accommodation”. And there will be a new AVP Director of “Talent Acquisition”. You can’t make this shit up:
The Daily Jade has the details, here.
Matthew Kish has the report in the Portland Business Journal, here. Earnings beat forecasts, Nike stock is up ~5%, and Uncle Phil’s $11B is now $11.6B:
9/25/2014 update:The faculty union had lunch today with the new faculty hires. They were in the middle of their orientation, which ends tonight with a BBQ in the Alumni Center. I remember Frohnmayer used to invite the new faculty to McMorran house – not sure when that tradition ended. Anyway,…
Mark Baker has the full report from UO’s Interim Dean of Architecture and Art, here. FWIW, the NYC Armory Show was 101 years ago. I can’t find an RG story from 1913, but this letter to the NYT captures the general outrage of propertied classes everywhere:
The RG has the story on Coltrane’s agreement to some but not all of the initial Senate Task Force proposals, here. From what I’ve read most campus sexual assaults are linked to athletics, fraternities, and alcohol. None of these initial recommendations target these problems. Notably, Dana Altman and Rob Mullens have admitted…
