One less quirky restaurant from Eugene’s hippy past, one more expensive student housing complex, and one more complication to Johnson Hall’s story that we can’t afford market pay for faculty and staff. Gina Scalpone has the story in the Eugene Weekly here.
UO Matters
I’m giving credit to our students, who have taken to vaccinations and masking with visible enthusiasm. Data from the UO dashboard, here. Just one case last week: And estimated Lane County infections are way down too – in part because most of those who haven’t got their jab have already…
A little ionizing radiation and fat-shaming from our track and field coach, here: I wonder if this use of the DEXA scanner was approved by the usual university committees and the state’s office of Radiation Protection Services?
JH has finally posted the 19-20 comparisons of UO faculty pay to other AAU publics, after sitting on it since at least June. I don’t know when the 20-21 data, which is based on fall 2020 pay will be posted. (While these tables include instructor pay it’s based only 7…
Emerald Story here: UO Matters, a news and opinion blog, published an email that indicated UO President Michael Schill was pitching candidates to Oregon Gov. Kate Brown at a women’s basketball game. The veracity of this email is not confirmed, but supports Schranck’s claim. This email comes from Governor Kate Brown’s public…
Many AAU university leaders with dubious histories of support for academic freedom are now trying to get in on this bandwagon – UO President Michael Schill comes to mind. Of course I support their First Amendment right to claim whatever BS they think will help promote their careers. But Holden…
It sounds so simple in the email. The reality was far uglier: Click qualtrix link in email Find phone so you can use duo Take photos of front and back of vax card Discover your phone has not synced photos to your laptop for 2 months Google “iphoto sync problem”…
These numbers are from fall 2020, UO hasn’t released any salary info since then, despite frequent promises.
Hannah McIntyre has the report in the Daily Emerald here:
This is on top of another $22.8M that’s just for our students. Presumably it’s all got to be spent this year. What a problem! Fortunately it’s a bargaining year, our faculty and staff have suffered plenty during the pandemic, and we’re eager to help. Back of the envelope this alone…
Just kidding, while UO released last year’s numbers on October 20th, this is a bargaining year and we all know what that means for financial transparency. Here’s Fall 2020:
Check out this from UCSB:
Just kidding, UO pays its coaching staff whatever it takes, e.g.: On the other hand the university run Vivian Olum day care center has been cutting back on hours, and is now cancelling full days of care for the children of UO faculty and other employees, because they can’t hire…
I have no idea why they refused to do this for so long, but my guess is bad legal advice from our transparency-phobic GCO: Dear colleagues, Beginning today, Corona Corps will notify instructors if a student in your class has recently tested positive for COVID-19. If you receive a notification,…
That would of course be Oregon State University, here. OSU posts these a few weeks after the end of each quarter. UO used to report quarterly as well, but Pres Schill cut this to every six months – supposedly. Actually, UO hasn’t reported pay since Jan 2021, and that was…
