Published yesterday, 1/23/2013, here: Higher education officials should be less concerned with secrecy and more concerned with making certain the public has a full understanding of the dynamics that have contributed to the financial woes of Oregon’s universities and how hard it will be for them to meet the challenges that…
UO Matters
for the Glazier investigation. And it still ain’t over. Adam Jude has the latest in the Oregonian. Here’s a (dated) billing statement – approved by Jamie Moffitt, showing the split. Has Gottfredson put a stop to this? Good question, I’ve put in a public records request. Meanwhile, more here from the last go-round…
An appeal to reason: President Gottfredson, fire these lawyers before they destroy our university. Put CAS Dean Scott Coltrane in charge of your bargaining team. Build some trust with your faculty before it is too late.Disclaimer: My opinion of what people said, meant to say, or should have said. Nothing…
Updates, posted on request of VPAA Doug Blandy and Jean Stockard.UO Matters said to Blandy: Hi Doug – a bit about your claim UO has not engaged in retaliation, here: https://uomatters.com/2013/01/live-blog-bargaining-v-12213.html Blandy replied: Bill, That was not my claim. I stated that when people come forward with a grievance I believe the…
From CNN. A study of NFL veterans, but there are no obvious reasons it can’t be done on college “student-athletes”. The previous CTE tests required waiting for death and an autopsy, this is PET on live people, or, as the legal profession calls them, “plaintiffs”. Here’s hoping Randy Geller and…
to defend UO against the Emeldi lawsuit, and try and take it to the SCOTUS. Seems like a good idea, and it’s not Frohnmayer or Rudnick. Diane Dietz RG has the story in the RG. Bio here. 1/21/2013. In other UO legal news, Randy’s website is down. Last time this happened it…
Christian Whithol has the story in the RG: Oregon’s top higher education officials are engaged in a hypothetical analysis of financial pressures that the state’s public universities, including the University of Oregon, face over the next few years. But they want to keep the projections secret. … Pernsteiner said he’d…
President Gottfredson must have had some bad experiences with leaked emails while he was at Irvine. I don’t know anyone who has yet received a substantive email from him. But he does read email – and apparently he’s a bit sensitive even about that. When I first asked for Randy…
1/20/2013. Mullens will announce the hire today. The RG editors called for UO to follow state law: Turns out that promoting Helfrich without interviewing a qualified minority candidate — or at least making a good-faith attempt to find such a candidate — would violate Oregon law. Three years ago, the Oregon Legislature…
US07/08-15 Resolution concerning Revenue Sharing with the Athletic Department Presented by Paul van Donkelaar, Department of Human Physiology (revised 29 January 2008) Whereas, the Administration uses cross-subsidization as a mechanism to successfully manage the University budget, And whereas, the 2004 Athletics Task Force Report endorsed by the University Senate recommended…
The University of Oregon’s NCAA Faculty Athletics Representative, James (Jim) O’Fallon, talks about the violations in the New York Times: Taken as whole, said O’Fallon, they presented a “lack of institutional control.” … The amount of money was not so much an issue as was the fact that there appeared…
Here. Thanks to Hannah Hoffman for the link. 1/18/2013. It’s a high stakes gamble: Now Oregon aims to bring an approach that worked with 144 patients in Bend to Medicaid’s 564,470 patients across the state.
That’s the latest rumor from the faculty club steam room, following this development. 1/18/2013.
1/18/13. Rob Moseley of the RG extracts a little too much honesty from UO’s well incentivized Athletic Director Rob Mullens, talking about the search for a new football coach: “I think we do things the right way here; I think most people in the industry absolutely understand that,” Mullens said. “I just…
Posted here. Weird, the word “win” does not appear. And still no word from Randy Geller or OUS Counsel Ryan Hagemann on docking Chip Kelly’s pay for lawyers and other NCAA costs. Are they really going to fumble this, and let Kelly walk away with another $500,000 or so in UO…
