You can’t make this shit up. Thanks to an anonymous reader for the link. 160over90 was also in a 4-way tie for second place in the not very prestigious “Individual Sub-Websites” category: University of Oregon – University of Oregon “Explore If” website This website was built as a special landing page…

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…
For Tim Clevenger, his 160over90 branders, and their advertising partners, that is: Meanwhile what is paying off for UO’s students are investments in education. Diane Dietz has the story here: “University of Oregon ranks better than middling on Forbes top college list” … Here’s how the measures are weighted: 25 percent on student…
John Orbell is a UO Professor Emeritus of Political Science. The RG has his Op-Ed on UO’s “What the if?” branding campaign, here: How to build a university’s reputation for greatness? The answer is straightforward: Actually be great, and the word will get around. Being great involves a lot more than…
5/16/2015 update: Two new stories to add to the three printed Saturday in the Register Guard about UO’s branding efforts. These are all online now, new ones in print Sunday. I’ve posted extracts with a few comments for all five stories below. Follow the links to the stories, and please…
On Interim Provost Bronet’s website, here. I haven’t heard much about Kees since the Songways branding debacle. Petty change in retrospect, compared to 160over90’s boondoggle. There’s also an update about the strategic planning process – but so far as I can see no discussion of budgeting or Brad Shelton’s budget…
I’ll take this seriously when Coltrane starts taking Oregon’s public records law seriously, and makes Rob Mullens co-operate with Mike Andreasen on academic fundraising. No indication there will be any reconsideration of the real money: the $20M UO Trustee Connie Ballmer is planning to dump on 160over90 branding crap. Meanwhile,…
With TSA. Dashiell Paulson has the news in the RG, here.
… instead of dumping millions on sophomoric strategic communicators and 160over90 branders? The RG Editorial Board asks the question, here. Update: It appears OU President Bowen may have been a little too decisive, in following up his move to disband the frat with a decision to expel two students. Bowen’s…
From “Around the 0”, of course: The chance to learn more about the UO’s first comprehensive, integrated communications initiative attracted more than 400 faculty, staff, students and alumni to three events held in Eugene and Portland over the past month. Launched in January, the five-year communication effort is taking University…
Sorry for violating the one cuss-word policy, but this is getting discouraging. There are already 240 people in this office? OK, that includes the Schnitzer, but how many people are working on logos, fonts, and strategic sidewalk stencils? Marketing Communications Strategist University Advancement Posting: 15046 Location: Eugene Closes: Open Until…
They won’t of course. The first rule of Dave Hubin’s Public Records office is to delay, redact, and charge out the butt for anything that might conceivably embarrass the Johnson Hall administration, or even just help the public understand what the hell is going on at Oregon’s flagship public university.…
That would be King’s College London. The Times has the report: … Professor Byrne said the decision had been made to “keep that name [King’s College London] in every way, both as our official name and how we talk about ourselves”. “So no more King’s London,” he added. Professor Byrne,…
I’ve put together a simple alternative UO homepage with useful UO links and no 160over90 branding crap, here. 12/31/2014 update: We’re on the hook for 4 more years? Wed., Dec. 31, 2014 University of Oregon Kicks Off Branding Push By Kevin McCauley The University of Oregon will use its Jan.…
We’ve now got two PR machines fighting to get out different messages about UO. On the one hand there’s the “Go Ducks” brand, encouraging students to come to a party school with football-fueled binge drinking. Add to that the basketball rape allegations and the mismanaged administrative cover-up, and we’re really not delivering the…
