2/17/2013: Time to get real. Gottfredson’s not going to fire Bean. He’s not even going to fire Geller. It’s up to us faculty. Sure, we could fight with conventional weapons, like Tublitz’s senate resolution. But that would take years. No, this requires a really stupid and futile gesture. And So…

She’s not leaving much to chance. The rest of his new contract is here – yes, we’re still paying for his beamer. 8/14/2012.
Check the date on Interim Provost Jim Bean’s org chart. His friends are back: I guess it’s time to ask for more contracts, to see what their pay and perks are this time. These are the people advising Gottfredson? Or are we paying them to do, or not do, something else?…
and another 7/6/2012 update: From: “Provost Office” Subject: Hello Again Date: July 6, 2012 2:14:06 PM PDT To: Reply-To: [email protected] Colleagues:I have just returned to the Provost’s Office after an eight month leave. I thank Lorraine Davis for doing a great job in the role of Acting Senior Vice President and Provost. She left…
6/13/2012: Her working group report is here. His lame BS is here:
1/28/2012: Berdahl should have announced he was giving Bean an interim appointment ending June 2013. This would satisfy the immediate need for a body to fill out the provost’s suit. It would also leave the deck clear for the next president to do an open search. But no: Colleagues: The…
12/28/2011: Not state appropriations – so student tuition? It’s all fungible anyway. I like that clause for spouse and dependent children. Our administrators are quite thorough when it comes to nailing down their perks. Go Ducks! Full contract here. She gets a free car, just like Bean – and…
9/24/2011: Word down at the faculty club is that one of Interim Provost Lorraine Davis’s first acts was to offer her longtime friend Frances Dyke a job as her special assistant – so she’ll stay on even after we get a real CFO. This is exactly what worried everyone about…
9/19/2011: The groans over this are as loud as the crowd at Matt Court on a bad night. Not exactly hope and change. I don’t know what to think. Will she get to keep her car? What will this mean for her golden parachute contract? The 2008 Oregonian story by…
Update: Rachel Bachman has more on the why. Predicts Jamie Moffitt will get promoted. 7/21/2011: From Adam Jude in the RG. Ms Baumgartner was Kilkenny’s hatchet woman when it came to cutting wrestling, she’s now giving up her $156,814 job at UO for Syracuse. My guess is that AD Rob…
6/2/2011: “Know the O” is the athletic department’s latest effort to pretend that they have some relationship to UO’s academic side. They are going to find a sponsor for 30 second spots on televised Ducks games, to highlight faculty research. Right in between the Bud Light commercials. 8 seconds for…
1/20/2011: Steps down as interim AD, but kept the benefits, and a nice chunk of the $360,000 salary. I wonder what arrangement she and Rob Mullens have for this year? How long will this go on? Who is running UO? What does paying for her car and cell phone have…
4/26/2010: Jamie Moffitt has been put in charge of the Athletic Department’s finances. Excellent move. But read the bullshit in the RG story, from our new Interim AD Lorraine Davis: “The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics has experienced a period of rapid growth and success. This new position will help the…
3/30/2010: Since 2006, Oregon’s new Interim AD, Lorraine Davis, has been getting paid half time at a $197,278 FTE out of a fund that was originally intended to support retiring tenured faculty while they taught classes for 5 years prior to complete retirement. When Provost John Moseley, and VP’s Davis…
Quoting from an email we received from an anonymous reader, regarding a student asking about doing their midterm while traveling to an away game: The team will have to win two matches this weekend tocontinue in the tournament. I’d like to plan as if they will do so. We have…
