It’s a long story.

4/24/2012 Updated 4/25/2012: Bill Graves story here. Kroger talked the talk on public records, but didn’t deliver.

4/2/2012: That’s the word from the union website update, in a post that also criticizes the petitions, here: We sincerely hope that the university administration will recognize the will of the majority of the faculty and maintain its previously public statement of neutrality.

11/5/2011: Details in this Steve Duin column in the Oregonian, coming out in print Sunday: The memo sets out the hoops the university jumps through to maintain the illusion (that athletics is self-supporting). The administration, for example, generously “allows” athletics to bank revenue from above-ground, off-street parking in designated lots…
10/20/2011: It really didn’t end well last time, but one of them could easily end up advising UO on legal matters again – a side effect of SB 242, which puts part of UO’s legal services up for bid. The RFP closed September 11. On 8/25 UO’s former General Counsel…

3/23/2011: When he retired, Frohnmayer negotiated with OUS Chancellor Pernsteiner for a full-time UO paid sabbatical.
