Ad here. Anyone know who’s on this search committee? The inside candidate is Pete Deshpande. Ms Moffitt’s non-explanation of why she suddenly fired Public Safety Director Doug Tripp is here. Tripp apparently has a new job in Florida, which will should save us $90K or so on the year’s severance pay. And…

for the Glazier investigation. And it still ain’t over. Adam Jude has the latest in the Oregonian. Here’s a (dated) billing statement – approved by Jamie Moffitt, showing the split. Has Gottfredson put a stop to this? Good question, I’ve put in a public records request. Meanwhile, more here from the last go-round…
From CNN. A study of NFL veterans, but there are no obvious reasons it can’t be done on college “student-athletes”. The previous CTE tests required waiting for death and an autopsy, this is PET on live people, or, as the legal profession calls them, “plaintiffs”. Here’s hoping Randy Geller and…
12/1/2012: That’s the rumor from the coaches’ hot tub. If true, Kelly’s contract requires him to pay UO $2.5 million. VPFA Jamie Moffitt will make sure this goes directly to the academic side, to cover the AD’s 3 years of overhead underpayments, and reimburse our students for half this year’s Jock…
11/9/2012: Forgive me for bragging a bit: I want this in my service report for post-tenure review. Starting last fall I posted a series of stories on the UO athletic department’s overhead rate, using documents obtained with public records requests and petitions. While athletics had originally been scheduled to pay…
Last fall the OUS board published this breakdown of Duck athletic finances: SUMMARYThe UO Athletics working capital as of June 30, 2011 was a negative $2.6 million, a decrease of $1.1 million from the prior year. The UO Athletics ended FY2011 with negative working capital and is not in compliance with the…
10/16/2012: Word around the faculty club snookers table is that the jocks have signed another secret “Memorandum of Understanding” with our administrators in Johnson Hall. The 2009 MOU between Kilkenny and Frohnmayer in 2009 cost the academic budget millions. Last year, after many public records requests and petitions, we forced…
Of course this is not about Oregon. Here we subsidize the money-losing jocks to the tune of $6 million or so, and then our administration signs off on their 21% raises anyway. 8/24/2012, From the University of Florida, reported by Hays Carlyon in the Florida Times-Union: GAINESVILLE — Florida’s athletic department,…
Dianne Dietz of the RG has the story on LCC. Earlier story with more details here. If someone can explain why this is not a really bad idea, please do.
I don’t think I know any of them, but congratulations to the “The Tuition is Too Damn High” students. The ODE story on their meeting with Bob Berdahl and Jamie Moffitt here. The RG story is here. It sounds like they asked some informed, tough questions – some of which…
4/10/2012: Randy Geller spent almost 4 weeks going through these with his whiteout bottle, but here they are. Looks like UO hired Mike Glazier last month for a second project, reviewing NCAA compliance. $9,245 in billing on that, plus $11,194.79 for the Willie Lyles football recruiting cleanup. No worries, UO…
3/26/2012: From the RG: The total legal costs — $419,000 — dwarf the $5,583 in damages that a jury awarded Schlossberg in January, after deciding unanimously that his constitutional rights were violated by Solesbee during a March 13, 2009, encounter in front of an Umpqua Bank branch in downtown Eugene.…
3/1/2012: That’s my guess. Last year Doug Tripp and Frances Dyke told the faculty – and the legislature – that campus police were going to save UO $73,000. And you wonder why Johnson Hall has negative credibility. Here are the last ten years of DPS spending, from the Financial Transparency…
December’s entire bill is $15,441.41. I’m no art history professor, but I think this page has the most aesthetically appealing redactions, though page 2 has a certain stark symmetry. Per the agreement between UO’s general counsel Randy Geller and CFO Jamie Moffitt, the academic side is on the hook for…
12/11/2011: Under the NCAA cartel, none of his players will get a dime. Fascinating, carefully researched story by Ted Sickinger in the Oregonian on how Mike Bellotti came to be collecting $490,000 a year in PERS, most of which will ultimately be paid by Oregon taxpayers: The statutes governing PERS…
