OK, maybe she didn’t post it. But someone sent it to me and here it is. From outside it seems like the sort of transparent well run process the faculty union insisted on. Anyone got comments or reports from other schools or departments?

Update: Make that 2: http://jobs.uoregon.edu/unclassified.php?id=4538 President Gottfredson blew $1M on Sharon Rudnick and her helpers. After first putting Jim Bean in charge of bargaining, he’s now paying the feckless Tim Gleason $218K a year to work on contract implementation and strategic communications about the CBA. He’s paying $122,004 to Sam…
No. Sharon Rudnick, Doug Blandy, and Tim Gleason repeatedly claimed this during the contract negotiations, as did many other UO administrators. The union team called them out on it every time. After the contract was signed these claims persisted, despite clear contract language to the contrary. So the union sent…
The union CBA says research faculty will get raises. The administration signed the CBA. The research faculty *will* get their raises. This memo from VP for Research Espy explains that the money will not come from UO’s research fund – it will come from VP for Finance Moffitt’s emergency fund.…
