UO Matters
This is apparently on top of the $1.5M we’ve already paid for the utility tunnel. From https://pcs.uoregon.edu/content/business-opportunities:
Reporter Duncan Baumgarten has the news on the latest increase in the Emerald: The current rate for a day parking pass, based on the University of Oregon Transportation Services website, is $34 a month, $306 for three terms. The rate is new, having increased around a dollar since last year,…
Letter from the President: We Have a Deal! Late last night, we reached a tentative agreement with UO administration for our next contract. After 14 hours of intensive mediation (and an awesome accompanying sit-in in the EMU!), and despite a shady 11th-hour move by the UO bargaining team, we were…
The west coast urban CPI increased 3.1% last year. Mike Gottfredson & his well paid anti-union consultants tried a similar tactic during their effort to fight UO’s faculty union. The accent grave on vis-à-vis is a nice touch though – I wonder how much Ed Ray’s consultant charged for it.…
Traditionally this has been in the fall in front of the UO Senate, followed by some gentle Q&A. I’m assuming that this year’s speech – which I’ll guess will mention “student success” and “innovation” at least 20 times, and include no more than 5 of the devalued “excellence” buzz-word, has…
They want me to pay $180 for the rest of the docs, but were kind enough to offer this free teaser. It appears UO’s lobbyists Hans Bernard and Libby Batlan are helping Chuck Lillis and Angela Wilhems stack the UO Board with compliant trustees. They’ve replaced former NBC journalist Ann…

Update 10/26: A bit more from reporter . Gina Scalpone in the ODE here: The bargaining teams for University of Oregon and the Graduate Teaching Fellows Federation issued a joint statement Friday, according to the UO Human Resources website: “We had the most productive meeting that we have ever had bargaining…
These are the 2018-2019 forecasts for the Athletic Department $120,584,750 in operating expenses, $120,584,750 in revenue. This is ignoring the ~$5M in subsidies from the academic side for the Jock Box, President Schill’s skybox, Lorraine Davis, etc. The ~$1.5M subsidy for the Hayward Field utility tunnel is buried somewhere else.…
Posted with the permission of Professor Ryan: U of O Matters has detailed the deceptive practices of the Barran Liebman law firm in its defense of the administration against Jennifer Freyd’s discrimination suit. This is all the more reason to be alarmed about the administration’s use of Barran Liebman…
The meeting, 3PM in 253 Straub, is open to the public under the ACP policy passed last year. Meanwhile the UO administration is developing its plans to hire faculty scabs, and faculty union Pres Chris Sinclair has issued guidance on how to avoid this fate. Remember, the best outcome for…
This may be the most interesting complaint since the “Bowl of Dicks“. From Recap here. So far our GCO doesn’t seem very worried about this $250M lawsuit – they haven’t even hired an attorney.
