6/21/2013. Eder Campuzano has the story in the ODE. Last I looked UO paid the public safety chief more than the City of Eugene paid their police chief. They’re going to get guns too, big surprise. Still no accounting for the explosion in their budget, two years after we were…

6/16/2013: Those who have heard Bean babble on about online-ed and MOOCs will love this proposal for MOOAs. (Thanks to commenter for link.)
