I’m still not sure why the UO Foundation didn’t just hire the kids who burnt down Civic. Maybe former Chief Compliance Office Erika Funk – already mostly erased from their website – raised some objections. In any case the city has apparently already approved accepted the demo permit as ready to…
4PM today at the Alumni Center. The panelists will include former journalism dean and noted transparency opponent Tim Gleason – currently making ~$100K a year off the unpaid labor of UO’s student-athletes as UO’s NCAA “Faculty” Athletics Representative – and Prof Curtis Austin (History). Austin was the most interesting speaker…
Dear Campus Community, If you have not yet voted for your representatives on the University Senate or elected university committees, please take a few minutes to do so. Voting closes at noon on Friday, May 11. We know there is a lot going on, but this election is important to…
5/7/2018 update: Because the best response to speech you hate is more speech. The Daily Emerald has the story here. The website for the contest is here: The University of Oregon Libraries invites UO students to participate in a juried art exhibition that will showcase creative expressions of the culture…
I’m thinking this is not quite what Pres Schill had in mind when he spent ~$100K on lectures to promote free speech. The Daily Emerald’s Ryan Nguyen and Michael Tobin have the report here: The University of Oregon Phi Kappa Psi chapter has been temporarily suspended after a defamatory document printed with the fraternity’s name…

Ken Goe has the story here about the 2020 USATF championship. Apparently this means UO and Eugene can now piss away millions bidding for it. Or maybe the feds will turn up something on Weinhold and Lananna first.
I’m a little bitter I didn’t get invited to be a judge this year, but I’m going to take the high road and post this announcement anyway: All are invited to come to the UO Graduate School’s Graduate Student Research Forum on Friday, May 11 in and around the EMU…
This WSJ op-ed is about UNC, not UO: It would be hard to imagine a more demoralizing example of the tail wagging the dog. UNC is a “public ivy.” Its faculty win Nobel, Pulitzer and Guggenheim awards. Since 1987, UNC ranks first among public universities in competitions for Rhodes scholarships.…
PDF’s below, in response to a request for docs sent in response to this NYT request, which was apparently aimed at docs involving the federal investigation of NCAA basketball: https://publicrecords.uoregon.edu/content/correspondence-66 Dear Professor Harbaugh: Below are links to the records requested on 4/27/2018. These links will remain active for a period of…
Ken Goe of the Oregonian has an interesting piece on the arguments the teardown supporters are trying to get traction with, here: “Hayward Field is a special place, but let’s not get too precious about a stadium. We need to ask ourselves, which history exactly are we clinging so tightly…
Around the O has the news: The University of Oregon is in receipt of a notice of investigation from the Office for Civil Rights. The university issued the following statement in response to the matter: The University of Oregon has been notified by the Office for Civil Rights of the…
