8/23/2012: Ian Campbell of the ODE gets a few quotes from students. The EW posts a shout out. Word from the Fishbowl is that students are planning a series of investigations, complaints and so on. Meanwhile the RG is still digging into the scandal, you know there’s more coming. Why not…
UO Matters
from UO’s public records system. Emphasis in the original: Dear Bill, President Gottfredson received your inquiry, included below, and has asked me to respond on his behalf. As a result of further discussion, we will be modifying our fee practices so that simple, straightforward requests that take less than one…
I’m guessing the exchange below has something to do with AD Rob Mullens’s efforts to start random drug testing of UO’s “student athletes”, and the efforts by the Senate to make him run that policy and change in UO’s OAR’s through the UO Senate first. Instead of resolving this by meeting…
8/21/2012: Word from the historic EMU FishBowl is that RBI Strategies no longer thinks it’s in their best interests to be associated with UO and the efforts of our VP for Student Affairs to use student money to manipulate students into voting for higher student fees. More when Randy Geller gets around…
Just kidding – we all know UO’s top administrators never face the consequences of their decisions – that’s for us little people. The student union is stuck with the bill, and the students who supported this for genuine reasons now look like dupes or worse. But FWIW her $40,000 raise…
Full version of the RBI Strategies EMU campaign plan is here.Update: Why was the RBI contract for $25,000? Because Oregon administrative rules require public notice for contracts of $25,000.01 or more. Sneaky.Update: Diane Dietz has the story in the RG. AP version here. VP Holmes spent $25,000 of student union money for the…
Just kidding. While Kitzhaber fired Lariviere in part because of the 6% raises he gave faculty, and rescinded the raises Kroger gave at the DOJ, there’s no sign he is going to do anything about the 21% raises that Athletic Director Rob Mullens and Bob Berdahl gave the coaches – paid…
From a new report out of Georgetown, “The College Advantage“. Enrollment gains are highest for men, though not enough to make up for the female advantage. The employment and earnings advantages of college have persisted.
Page and pages of docket info here for a telephonic meeting on Friday. The UO students have voted against this several times, a fact which is conveniently not mentioned in the proposal. Costs have increased from $300 per student per year to $351 – payment starts before construction finishes – and approval…
If you go to duckweb > faculty > course administration you will now find “view class photos” under the drop down action menu. They come out in an easy to print format. Thank you so much to whoever made that happen – a very useful teaching crutch for us prosopagnosia…
Harris is one of the few UO VP’s to have ever undergone a performance review, I believe in 2010. It did not go well. Jim Bean kept him on anyway. Then in January, while Bean was on sabbatical, Lorraine Davis took the opportunity to fire Harris and run an open…
She’s not leaving much to chance. The rest of his new contract is here – yes, we’re still paying for his beamer. 8/14/2012.
for pursuing an unsuccessful ethics complaint against DA Patrick Flaherty: Update: For a copy of the $35,000 summer contract Berdahl wrote Frohnmayer, see page 15 here.

PSU receives accreditation warning over the fallout from the Sandusky/Paterno football scandal: “Middle States [Commission on Higher Education] is focusing on governance, integrity and financial issues related to information in the Freeh Report and other items related to our current situation, …”
They got bonuses too. A correspondent points out I missed this report from Rob Moseley in the RG, July 20: The UO football team’s nine assistant coaches each received a $40,000 raise as of July 1, bringing their guaranteed salaries for 2012 to a combined $2,759,500. … Under the amended…
