7/28/2013: Read my lips: President Gottfredson and his administrators are the University of Oregon, not the faculty and students. And after a full year on the job, President Gottfredson still doesn’t know if he’s willing to shift the millions in athletics subsidies back to academic purposes. Story in the Sunday RG…
7/27/2013 update: OUS has quietly shifted presidential pay from the UO Foundation to state funds and student tuition. Back in 2008, the OUS board approved the final year of Dave Frohnmayer’s presidential contract, with a substantial raise. Contract here. On top of $245,700 in state money and $50K for the “Knight…
7/27/2013: Plus another $56,000 to the San Fran anti-union firm, Curiale, Hirschfeld and Kraemer. Or that’s the rumor tonight around the faculty club BBQ pit. I don’t believe all the HLGR money is for bargaining, part of it must be for some lawsuit Geller isn’t competent to deal with in-house.…

7/19/2013: And more from Lariviere, on the need for additional faculty raises – written *after* he implemented the equity raises that helped get him fired: Frankly, the single most important action the UO could take to ensure its long-term success is to finish the faculty salary equity project during FY12…
7/19/2013: UO is under-administrated? Our academic accreditors, the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, require that 2.A.11 The institution employs a sufficient number of qualified administrators who provide effective leadership and management for the institution’s major support and operational functions and work collaboratively across institutional functions and units to foster fulfillment of the…
7/17/2013: The economic news for UO couldn’t be better. UO got all its expected state funding, the tuition increase, and permission to let Moffitt keep accumulating reserves above the normal 15% ceiling. She’s up to 17% now, OSU has something like 8%. The legislature even kicked in more money to…
