The Nebraska Law Review, here. Always good to see a Johnson Hall administrator helping out with UO’s research metrics: Reed also told me, during a public meeting of the UO Senate Executive Committee regarding his efforts to restrict free speech by students protesting the university foundation’s (money losing) investments in…

Materials here – updated yesterday with rudimentary data on athletics and auxiliary unit budgets. I’m not sure I have the stomach to watch much of this, but I’ll try and check in now and then. Board Chair Lillis is having internet problems, as usual. Board of Trustees September 10, 2020…
A disturbing metric from page 173 of our Board of Trustees agenda, here. We have about 2,000 faculty. This means that, on average, it takes each of us 50 years to produce one idea.

Sorry, I’m sure Virgil would have said this better. 7:40PM:
Info on Carol Stabile’s 2018 no-search no-consultation no-notice appointment as CAS Assoc Dean is here. She may well be an excellent choice and the CHC faculty may have been fully consulted and engaged in this new appointment. I don’t know, post a comment if you do. Updated with pay: This…

Dear University of Oregon community,It is my pleasure to announce that we have selected Nicole Commissiong, assistant dean for student affairs at the UO School of Law, as the next associate vice president, chief civil rights officer, and Title IX Coordinator.Nicole has a long track record of supporting students at…
Back in the day UVa students had to sign an oath promising that “As a Scholar and a Gentleman, I will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do.” The history is interesting: The University of Virginia has an honor code, formally known as the Honor System.[1] The Honor System is intended to…
I don’t know. Usually our administration gets very excited about metrics, and these seem to be key ones if you believe in that science stuff. The Oregon Health Authority posts the county numbers here: As does, for example, OHSU here, or UC-Boulder, here: UO, in comparison, only posts the number…
