UO Matters
Breaking news: DA indicts two players, NY Times report here, USDE Civil Rights Division invesigation here. Oh wait, this is from the University of Montana, two years ago. Never mind.
Diane Dietz has the story in the RG. This is news to the UO Faculty and Senate, which has been pretty much kept out of the loop, despite Oregon law which delegates this responsibility to the faculty. The links below, from the UO Senate website, don’t go to any actual…
Their press release is here: The Associated Students of the University of Oregon (ASUO) has contracted with Sexual Assault Support Services (SASS) for over 10 years to provide free, confidential support and advocacy services to students who experience sexual violence. This is a critical component of the University’s response and…
Last summer they had this to say: What a board can bring. Autonomy is about leadership, not just governance. … The board will have authority over such matters as issuing bonds and hiring a president — but its real value will lie in its ability to provide leadership and support.…
It seems unlikely. BBall owner and noted racist Donald Sterling can’t give it away: So, would any local charity accept the $95K in bonus money Rob Mullens and Dana Altman earned from playing two alleged Duck gang rapists in the NCAA tournament? I doubt it – particularly since the Duck…

The new UO Board of Trustees doesn’t have authority to fire President Gottfredson until July 1st. But they can certainly talk to OUS and Kitzhaber about it, and you can be sure those conversations have started. Latest story here: “Sorry. Don’t buy it.” Fortunately we have a respected, experienced, and well…
This report by the Oregonian’s Susan Nielsen is the most genuine and compassionate I’ve read.
UO’s President Mike Gottfredson has been claiming he couldn’t alert UO students to the alleged March 9th gang rape, because of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. It turns out he’s just the latest in a long tradition of university administrators trying to hide behind FERPA. Get a clue…
9:45 PM: From the Oregonian: 5:30 PM: And sure enough, the NY Times is already reporting they don’t think President Gottfredson is telling the truth: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/10/sports/ncaabasketball/3-suspended-in-oregon-sexual-assault-case.html?_r=0 The university did not act sooner because the Eugene police asked officials to delay administrative reviews until after a criminal investigation was complete, Gottfredson and a…
3PM today, Knight Arena Press Room. That’s the rumor. Yup. Whoops, it’s “Press only”, they tried to kick me and a few students out, but we wouldn’t leave the elevator until they called Julie Brown, who let us in. Thanks Ms Brown! Andrew Grief report and video, here. Live-blog: It’s…
Update: I’m here w/ about 10 TV cameras, 50 or so reporter types, and another 50 faculty and students. I’ll try and live blog a little, but I’m not I’ve got the stomach for it. PR flack Toby Klinger introduces the rules. Brief remarks from Gott, followed by Q&A. ONLY…
5/9/4014 update. Still seeking answers. Details on the CESV wesbsite. I’m guessing this may be postponed, or moved to 11AM at the Ford Alumni Center, with the news conference? 5/8/2014: What did the UO know, when did they know it, why did they hide it? As you watch this report…
The RG reports that UO flew Altman and Mullens back from Phoenix Tuesday, but have not allowed them to talk to reporters.
