Relative to other “Very High Research” public universities. I think this is what is commonly called “administrative bloat” – though these are salaries, not numbers. 2018 means the 2018-19 FY. From the Chronicle of Higher Education, here. (You may need to create a free login with your UO id). The…

At https://transparency.uoregon.edu/ It’s better than I’d expected. A low bar to be sure, but there’s some useful info. If you know where to click, you can even find information on administrative bloat, such as this page showing that the General Counsel’s office has grown from 11 to 25 administrators and…
Dear Colleagues, During recent remarks to the University Senate, President Mike Schill alerted the campus to yet another potential budget crisis. He identified four reasons for his concern about budget “fragility:” the ongoing difficulties with PERS funding, the decrease in international students, low reserves, and the loss of “flexibility” due…
According to the Institutional Research website, the year before President Schill came to UO we had 2,066 faculty and 1,393 senior administrators and OA’s. As of this November, we have 2,075 faculty, and 1,546 senior administrators and OA’s: That is an 0.4% increase in faculty and an 11% increase in…

Update: Chief Carmichael reported the cost as $3533.41. So the winner is longtime commenter “Fishwrapper” at $3768.79, runner up is Amy Adams at $3137. Congrats to you both, please contact our swag office with a mailing address, or if you prefer the location of a dead-drop site far from security…
I thought ending the 160over90 branding contract was supposed to save money. Apparently not. And we’re now spending $475K on “Internal Executive Communications”? Hell of a job they’re doing.
The Chronicle has the news here: Jerry L. Falwell Jr., president of Liberty University, has been asked by President Trump to head up a new task force that will identify changes that should be made to the U.S. Department of Education’s policies and procedures, Mr. Falwell told The Chronicle on…
Or is it vice-versa. The 538 website has an interesting post on explanations for tuition increases, here: All of those trends add to the cost of college, but not by that much. At most, about a quarter of the increase in college tuition since 2000 can be attributed to rising…
Unfortunately our VP for Student Affairs has a bigger budget, and will pay an $8K premium for someone who’s willing to talk the talk, rather than walk the walk. Which job do you think will do more for UO’s students? Job A: 8/30/2016: LCB seeks Academic Adviser and Diversity Initiatives Specialist Lundquist College of…
Today’s editorial here: … A visible effort by the UO to bring costs under tighter control, however, would influence lawmakers and donors alike. Such an effort could begin by restraining both the number and the salaries of university administrators, which have expanded in tandem over the past decade. No potential…
Note: This deal was done before President Schill arrived. The blame should go to Coltrane, or whichever of UO’s many other recent presidents or interims put this in de Kluyver’s contract and gave him raises while UO’s business school slowly sank and then disappeared from the US News rankings. UO Management Professor Cornelis “Kees”…
1/7/2016: Rumor has it that VPFA Jamie Moffitt has now said that she will release a version of the quarterly salary reports in late Feb, after some additional marginal product related compensation corrections have been made. Better late than never, and a step back towards what had been one of UO’s few…
Here. But don’t try to get them to provide basic financial records during union bargaining, unless you’re willing to file an Unfair Labor Practices complaint. The latest data omits some of the more interesting administrative bloat salary data that IR revealed last year:
9/7/2015: Silly question. He’s paid to be the athletic department’s sacrificial anode. It took the UO Public Records Office a month to provide his resume and the justification for changing the job from Associate VP to VP. They claim they didn’t have to provide his resume, but only did it because he agreed…
