I spent a lot of time talking to Linda Brady about Charles Martinez’s double dipping, UO’s first 5-year diversity plan, and John Moseley’s UO-Bend scheme. Before I met her I assumed top administrators needed to be reasonably smart, competent people. But she was clueless and easily manipulated, which was presumably…

Miller, Associate Vice Provost, Cornell University. President Gottfredson will charge the university community in preparation for the next strategic planning process, … In the past UO has spent its diversity money on…
3/28/2013: From Insidehighered.com: Jonathan Hart was appointed professor of English and comparative literature at the University of Alberta in 2004. In 2011, he was also appointed professor of English studies at Durham University, in Britain. Neither was a part-time position, and it appears that neither institution knew about Professor Hart’s…
Update, from the comments: One of the groups leading the attack against the restructuring is the Oregon Indian Education Association. Their president is Alison Ball. http://02af27e.netsolhost.com/OIEA/welcome-to-oiea/board-of-directors/ She is the wife of Tom Ball, one of the 3 AVP’s that was just reassigned: http://diversity.uoregon.edu/dr-tom-ball-assistant-vice-president I haven’t seen any acknowledgement of this rather…
10/7/2012: Physics Prof Steve Hsu left UO this fall, to be VP for Research at MSU. Matthew Miller of the Lansing paper has a report. Not the usual generics, it deals in part with an email sent to MSU colleagues by UO Prof Daniel HoSang about Hsu’s views and research on…
gets a shout-out in the ODE. He’s bounced back up from Lariviere’s boot, with tenure and a rather impressive associate professor salary of $153,502. All apparently without an open, affirmative action compliant search. No word on how many other jobs he’s holding down this time. 5/3/2012.
3/4/2012: Best of luck to Ms Alex-Assensoh, who was hired by CAS Dean Scott Coltrane and VP Robin Holmes after an open, reasonably transparent national search, and who has excellent credentials (PhD, law degree, research) and relevant experience at IU. I didn’t go to the interviews but on paper I…
1/13/2012: Diversity VP Charles Martinez was one of those no-search interim appointments gone permanent and bad. He had a remarkable ability to screw up UO’s diversity efforts, despite spending most of his time off campus double dipping at his second job at OSLC. Jim Bean and Russ Tomlin protected him…
10/30/2011: OIED VP Charles Martinez was one of those interim appointments gone permanent and bad. He had a remarkable ability to screw up UO’s diversity efforts, despite spending most of his time off campus double dipping at his second job at OSLC. Last year Lariviere bought Martinez off with a…

7/14/2011: Charles Martinez’s OIED spent $903,587 last year – that’s just counting salaries and administrative overhead for his office, not program costs. Add another $100,000 to cover the cost of hiring a search firm to find a competent and honest replacement for him. For comparison, in 2009-10 UO awarded $1,706,250…
3/1/2011: Somehow it’s not surprising to learn that he’s got yet another career. The manatee bit though – OK, that was totally unexpected. But how many are we talking: 10? A hundred? 10 thousand?
12/14/2010: From the official announcement: The University of Oregon is firmly committed to diversity and seeks to further this goal among our faculty, staff and student body. To lead us in these efforts, we are searching for a new Vice President of the Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity to…
9/15/2010: “Transformative change has been seeded.” Effective Aug 2011, he’ll return to teaching and research in the School of Ed, presumably while trying to keep his second job at OSLC. My opinion of Martinez and what he has done is not a secret. This is an opportunity for a big…
