Or, as Richard Lariviere called them, “the entertainment side of our university” Dear University of Oregon community, Welcome to the start of fall term and the new academic year. I am honored to lead this university community. It is a responsibility I take very seriously. And that’s because together we…
I’m sure this will work out just as well as Concur has: Dear colleagues, The university’s transition to Teams calling is moving quickly toward our goal of year-end completion. We wanted to provide an update on our progress and an overview of what to expect this fall. As a reminder, this process…
Interim President Phillips does not seem to be proposing any actual discipline – because of free-speech rights, or just because “what happens at Autzen stays at Autzen”? Quite the contrast with how Pres Schill dealt with the students who interrupted his state of the university address. Dear University of Oregon…

Time to give Rob Mullens and the coaches more raises! @shawnmedow has the news:
Page down for the email from BoT Chair Ginevra Ralph today. Here’s an excerpt from an old post on the dictatorial secret search that led to the hiring of Mike Schill. I think the board got lucky with that hire, but they probably attribute it to their awesome skill and…
Docs here. It appears Chair Ginevra Ralph has decided not to have a public discussion about how to hold what will almost certainly be a private, closed search for the next permanent president. That has been removed from the agenda announced previously and the trustees will presumably hash it out…
