10/18/13. For administrators like Robin Holmes, and coaches. And of course we’ve got millions for deadwood administrators. Another million for Sharon Rudnick and her consultants. $2.4M for the Portland White Stage lease. $350K a year to rent the Presidential Skybox at Autzen from Rob Mullens. $500K from academics to pay…

10/15/2013: Great news from the RG for UO and the library. Pres Gottfredson fronted $1M to make it happen. Hard to imagine a more interesting or important collection. I have to point out that Kesey couldn’t make it as UO faculty these days, what with our administration’s new Drug and Alcohol policy.
10/14/13: 300 baud, full duplex. Dial-up pool info here. 10/13/13: During the union bargaining Jamie Moffitt said the faculty would have to choose between raises to get us to our comparators, or wifi. Seems like we got neither. The RG has a great photo, and details from Diane Dietz: Capacity is…
10/14/13. If you got a tip you can either email it to uomatters at gmail.com or post an anonymous comment here. Comments on any UO related matters welcome.
10/11/13: From USA Today:
10/10/2013: The latest from our President’s official website: http://president.uoregon.edu/content/access-and-quality-sustaining-higher-education-oregons-public-interest As we stand at the threshold of this exciting reform, I see a bold path forward. If you had told me a year ago, when I first arrived at the University of Oregon, that today we would be this far along this…
10/4/2013: That would be Duck President Michael Gottfredson, vs. UC-Boulder Chancellor Phil DiFestano. Duck faculty, on the other hand, lost this one by 13%: Faculty salary averages are for Fall 2012, from the Chronicle/AAUP data. President/Chancellor salary and deferred compensation from news reports. Colorado system President Bruce Benson makes $359K.…
10/2/2013: Readers report some interesting personalized google ads – and they seem to be getting a few click-throughs: * Figures do not include cash or other liquid donations, or t-shirt licensing revenue.
9/28/2013: I don’t know who hooked UO up with eduroam, but it’s genius. Use your UO login to get wifi at universities all over the world. Eduroam comes up as a wifi router, click and login. Working great in Lausanne. You can also let visitors use UO’s network. Nobody tell…
9/27/2013 update: Looks like the law school is paying Frohnmayer $50K to co-teach a 19 person class in the Honor’s college with his long-time assistant Barbara West: The course focuses on a small number of topics central to theories of leadership including totalitarianism, charisma, ethics, and the heroic leader. (sic) That…
9/17/2013: Economist Mary King from PSU, in the Oregonian.
Thanks to the faculty who wore wires, and the underpaid web workers at the Mechanical Turk for their transcriptions. Many pages of details after the fold. I’d say the most revealing parts are when Provost Coltrane and his VP for Finance Jamie Moffitt reveal that UO’s well is far from…
9/7/2013 update: An OSU correspondent reminds us of a previous post comparing research reporting by UO and OSU, and notes that OSU’s research office does day long meetings with faculty, and even posts them online: 2011 2012 9/6/2013: Or maybe not. Sounds like she’s sending a substitute for this 2.5 hour…
9/13/2013: Or not. I’d add the salaries, but Dave Hubin’s public records office is delaying them until after the faculty and SEIU unions are done negotiating. These are as of the end of May. Name Title 2013 car stipend Gottfredson, Michael President $14,400 Andreasen, Michael C Vice Pres for Univ…
