I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt and hope that she’ll start her time at UO by convincing Prez Scholz to rebuild trust and transparency in the UO Administration, by stopping GC Kevin Reed from using excessive fees and deliberate delays for public records requests to stymie…
The official Johnson Hall announcement from Around the 0: “You slackers are supposed to put in a full 8-hour day, and there’s no way an eclipse counts as day. No sun, no day. It’s in Genesis. BTW check your pay statement – we also docked you a half-day for September,…
UO has had problems paying people on time for as long as I can remember. This year seems worse than usual. VP for Finance & Administration Jamie Moffitt – who’s attention may have been distracted by her new side gig at Summit Bank (I’m guessing they pay her on time)…
I’m not sure why presidents even bother with these statements, it just makes them look like fools or dupes – or bought men: Schill: In the days after the hazing scandal in Northwestern University’s athletics program broke this summer, school leaders homed in on this message: “Make no mistake, our student-athletes are…
From the NYT: Dr. Karikó, the 13th woman to win the prize, languished for many long years without funding or a permanent academic position, keeping her research afloat only by latching onto more senior scientists at the University of Pennsylvania who let her work with them. She was forced to…

A 3% pool, while inflation is predicted to be about 4%. So let’s call it a 1% real pay cut, and a reminder of what our Johnson Hall leadership thinks of your merit: Good afternoon, I am pleased to share important information about fiscal year 2024 salary increases. The University…
8/31/2023: Any truth to the rumor Dennis Galvan will offer him a visiting professorship in the Global Studies program, or is this the final chapter in one of the UO administration’s stranger affairs? The NYT on the coup and Bongo’s legacy, here: “As the all-powerful ruler of oil-rich Gabon, Ali Bongo…
Strange but I haven’t seen a post about this from interim VP Keith Frazee’s well paid Around the O PR flacks – I suppose it might make their bosses look bad – but UO’s student reporters are on the story. From the Daily Emerald, here: Kalapuya Ilihi Residence Hall, a…
Don’t worry coaches and administrators – you only have to pay on your first $133K of salary. The faculty union tried to get the university to pay the full cost, but apparently the admins don’t think our real wages have fallen enough yet, so instead they’re going to use regressive…
