UO Matters
Her standard rate is $400. (Frohnmayer’s is $550): It’s possible Geller negotiated a discount. We may find out next week, if the District Attorney orders Geller to deredact that part of her invoices. I’ll post more on how a partner in Frohnmayer’s firm ended up across the table from the…
Bargaining will restart at 1:15 PM Friday, again in room 122, Knight Library, again open to the faculty. Be there – after this fiasco, I have the feeling Rudnick et al. will come back in a more cooperative mode. These are my summaries of my interpretation of the meaning of…
Bojack has the story. Some history here, and the obituary here. 12/12/12.
No, I don’t know who’s invited when, or what they talk about. And I don’t really want to. I’m just happy to hear he’s listening to people outside of his “Executive Leadership Team”. 12/12/12.
From the faculty union website: First session December 13 (9am-1pm) and December 14 (1pm-5pm). Negotiations will take place in the Knight Library Collaboration Center (Room 122).

Fall grades are due at noon. The modal view is that Gottfredson hasn’t shown enough participation to earn a grade. Otherwise it looks like a D+ average. As a freshman he gets another quarter to try and bring it up to a 2.0. Bean’s grades look like something we’d expect…
Joe Nocera of the NYT on the corrupting influence of big-time college sports money. The occasion?: The annual IMG Intercollegiate Athletics Forum, held last week in Midtown Manhattan, is the kind of meeting where football games are routinely described as “product,” television networks are “distribution channels,” and rooting for State U. is an…
12/10/2012: The draft legislation for independent university boards, LC 978, has been posted, here, by the House Higher Ed committee. That committee has no Eugene representatives. From what I can see the bill does not require the appointment of voting faculty representatives – even though the OUS board has two. There…
Not a joke: The tweets are secondary infractions – probably no penalty. Next Jim O’Fallon’s NCAA Infractions Committee will go after schools for giving their players textbooks. Oh, wait – he’s already done that. What a silly thing for a former Harvard Law fellow, noted first amendment scholar, and self-styled Frank…
They had skis and explosives and a destination … From the NYT, 12/9/2012.

It’s the last day of finals week, I’m sitting here proctoring my last exam, and Johnson Hall is still trying to figure out how many faculty UO has. You’ll be shocked to hear that the numbers Interim Provost Bean presented to the Senate on Wed. are wrong: On FridayDec 7,…
