Dear CAS faculty, staff, and GEs, As you know, the faculty and students in the College of Arts and Sciences engage in important and innovative research, often supported by external grants. We want to share this report on external funding members of our college have secured (and the research projects they support)…
One less quirky restaurant from Eugene’s hippy past, one more expensive student housing complex, and one more complication to Johnson Hall’s story that we can’t afford market pay for faculty and staff. Gina Scalpone has the story in the Eugene Weekly here.
I’m giving credit to our students, who have taken to vaccinations and masking with visible enthusiasm. Data from the UO dashboard, here. Just one case last week: And estimated Lane County infections are way down too – in part because most of those who haven’t got their jab have already…
A little ionizing radiation and fat-shaming from our track and field coach, here: I wonder if this use of the DEXA scanner was approved by the usual university committees and the state’s office of Radiation Protection Services?
JH has finally posted the 19-20 comparisons of UO faculty pay to other AAU publics, after sitting on it since at least June. I don’t know when the 20-21 data, which is based on fall 2020 pay will be posted. (While these tables include instructor pay it’s based only 7…

Hannah McIntyre has the report in the Daily Emerald here:
This is on top of another $22.8M that’s just for our students. Presumably it’s all got to be spent this year. What a problem! Fortunately it’s a bargaining year, our faculty and staff have suffered plenty during the pandemic, and we’re eager to help. Back of the envelope this alone…
Just kidding, while UO released last year’s numbers on October 20th, this is a bargaining year and we all know what that means for financial transparency. Here’s Fall 2020:
Check out this from UCSB:
Just kidding, UO pays its coaching staff whatever it takes, e.g.: On the other hand the university run Vivian Olum day care center has been cutting back on hours, and is now cancelling full days of care for the children of UO faculty and other employees, because they can’t hire…
