(I’m talking about the guy on the left.) I’m not sure who should get the credit for inviting 1995 UO alumnus, Harvard Law graduate, and Portland mayoral candidate Jefferson Smith to give the 2012 UO commencement address, titled “You might be screwed”. But it seems they were prescient. As usual bojack gets…

Diane Dietz, mostly questions about indep board. 10/1/2012.
Dear CAS Faculty and Staff, On Wednesday, October 3rd, the College will host the first CAS Dean’s Reception of the new academic year. The theme of this reception is welcoming all new CAS faculty and staff, and celebrating those who are newly promoted and/or tenured. I know that the start of…
The legislative hearings did not go well. But the Oregonians For Higher Education Excellence PAC has a new donation from Lariviere fan Don Tykeson, almost $500,000 in cash on hand, and hasn’t spent s dollar to buy anything or anyone of note yet. 9/23/2012.
Went down to buy a laptop. Dozens of happy parents and students and parents milling around, stocking up on tech stuff. Staff handling it all very professionally, and chatting up the parents too. Very nice.
today. He hasn’t got out of Johnson Hall much yet, so it will be interesting to hear what comes from this. 9/19/2012. 9/20/2012 update: Turns out he did not show and was not on the agenda. Jamie Moffitt stood in for Johnson Hall. Step up your game, secret sources.

Random marijuana testing policy: Berdahl, Mullens try to sneak random drug testing of “student-athletes”through during summer, Senate and IAC leaders oppose, General Counsel Randy Geller calls out Senate and IAC head and members: … Your allegations…

It’s not for sports facilities. Oregonian story here. 9/17/2012.
Craig Pintens and UO’s other well paid hypesters are starting to sound a little shrill. Bob Welch of the RG started it off last week with this nicely written column: The excess. “In a word, that’s how I’d sum it up,” says Darrel Linker, 68, of Springfield, who says the UO is…
Ian Campbell has the story in the ODE. 9/11/2012.
without consulting the UO Senate Intercollegiate Athletics Committee. It’s possible he talked to the executive committee, I’m not on that. Josephine Woolington report here. Despite this I still support Gottfredson’s plan to draft Rob as interim Provost. Bean’s done far worse, far more often.
Steve Duin has the details. 9/10/2012.
Brian Smith is departing F&A for a big promotion at the UCSD medical school. Another AVP, Laura Hubbard, left last fall to be VP at SUNY Buffalo after she didn’t get the UO VP job. The UO search failed and Moffitt, who’d been on the search committee and was not…
