UO Matters
Dear colleagues, It is an honor to serve as the University of Oregon’s acting provost and executive vice president. I am excited to lead the university’s academic enterprise at such an important time in the institution’s history—a time of opportunity and progress. I was inspired to join the UO in…
No idea who this guy is but he’s a lot more entertaining than watching an actual game – quicker too.
Presumably his cut was the fat raise Pres Schill gave him before walking out the door. Or maybe he got it for attempting to raid the Knight Arena Bond fund. His players, of course, are on their own.
Dear University of Oregon community, It is with tremendous excitement that I write to you today as interim president of the University of Oregon. I am very honored by the appointment and humbled by the responsibility to our entire community that this opportunity entails. I am grateful for all the…
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…

So why is Ralph hiding the details from the university and the public? Normally the meeting docket includes the contracts. Not this time: And then there…
Wait, I got that wrong – he’s suing because they *blocked him* from reading DEI tweets. Which is weird, because he seems like just the sort of guy that DEI would want to reach out to. Betsy Hammond has the report in the Oregonian here: Portland State University political science professor…
Dear University of Oregon community members, It is with mixed emotions of pride and sadness that I announce that President Michael H. Schill will be leaving the University of Oregon to become president of Northwestern University. During his seven-year tenure at the UO, President Schill has significantly propelled the university…
I need some ethics advice. An overnight visitor leaves a iphone charger in the guest bedroom. I should: A: Fed-Ex it them immediately B: Email them that I found it and offer to mail it back C: Pretend you didn’t see it and leave it for the next visitor D:…
From Eric Kelderman in the Chronicle: According to the survey, presidents most often expect criticism from lawmakers. When asked “which group of people is most likely to respond negatively if you were to publicly take a position,” presidents pointed to elected officials for all but one of eight possible topics…
Back in 2015, in the midst of a lawsuit by the RG to force the Eugene School District to release public records about a potentially illegal firing decision, the District’s law firm Harrang, Long, Gary and Rudnick mistakenly emailed the entire file of documents to the RG. This ended the…
