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…
UO Matters
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…
Ken Goe has the story in the Oregonian here: Robert Johnson, who became UO’s track and field and cross country head coach in 2012, has guided the Ducks to 14 NCAA championships while elevating what already had been one of the sport’s premier college programs. Under Johnson the Ducks increasingly…
The Oregon Capital Chronicle has the story: Former Oregon State University President F. King Alexander won’t face any consequences for using university attorneys to respond to a probe into Louisiana State University’s handling of campus rape allegations during his tenure there. The Oregon Government Ethics Commission voted 3-2 Friday morning…
Makes sense, we all know these pandemics will continue so it’s good to hear that the UO Foundation is accepting tax-deductible contributions to provide well ventilated work-spaces for the most vulnerable unpaid workers and their coaches. Sportico’s Daniel Libit has the news here. Go Ducks! Around the 0 now has…
From https://pittnews.com/article/167927/featured/pitt-faculty-vote-to-form-union-by-wide-margin/ When the UO faculty voted to unionize, I think we the third AAU to do so. Pitt is now the 5th. [I think , let me know if I got that wrong.] Faculty union organizers ran on a number of issues, ranging from health benefits to academic freedom. Some…
