Fall grades are due at noon. The modal view is that Gottfredson hasn’t shown enough participation to earn a grade. Otherwise it looks like a D+ average. As a freshman he gets another quarter to try and bring it up to a 2.0. Bean’s grades look like something we’d expect…

11/27/2012: That’s the word from a conversation today between Dave Hubin and a UO Matters correspondent. Apparently the official JH position is going to be that Gottfredson’s decision to implement reviews has nothing to do with the two motions that passed the UO Senate unanimously on Nov 7. Whatever dude, just…
11/19/2012: One of the weirder moments of Bob Berdahl’s brief UO interregnum was his videotaped rant at the May Senate meeting, when the students asked to add one more member to the IAC. We must have pissed away 30 minutes of 30 people’s lives debating that. Berdahl drew a line in…
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…
11/1/2012: They’ve just posted an ad for a new McMorran house event manager, focusing on development. Nothing about scotch for the faculty. 10/23/2012. Me neither. Don’t take it personally, Gottfredson is obviously not interested in social networking with the UO faculty, and apparently has even laid off the staffer in charge…
10/18/2012: He read it from a script, so why not just post the whole document? Instead his office has put up an edited version, with more platitudes and less content: President addresses UO Senate – and perfection. Some of Winston Smith’s Dave Hubin’s finer work. UO’s new drug policy gives the…
10/15/2012 update: Video of Pres Gottfredson’s “State of the University of Oregon” speech is now posted, here, along with the rest of the Senate meeting, including the debate on random drug testing. Or watch below. (Thanks to anonymous tech dude for correct embed code.) Note that by leaving Rob Mullens’s emergency…
10/12/2012: I’ve heard many reports of recent statements by Bean and Gottfredson that they can’t pay us the round 2 and 3 Lariviere raises because of the union. At the Head’s retreat, for example. Please post comments or email me about other stuff you’ve heard from admins on this, with…
Postmortem: Given the low expectations, Gottfredson’s speech was good. He said “transparency” and “shared governance” many times. But then so did Berdahl. Still no action, of course – public records are in lockdown, thanks to the decisions of loyal trustee Dave Hubin. But today’s big loser was Randy Geller, who…
9/28/2012: Dear Colleagues, It’s great to have fall term underway. The energy our students bring to campus is infectious. For some of you, welcome back after what I hope was a relaxing and productive summer. For others, thank you for all your hard work over the summer months maintaining this…
Updates: As of 10PM today we had 30,200 unique visits for September, thanks mostly to the Geller, Holmes, Bean, and OH stories. This is about what the Daily Emerald advertising rate card has been reporting for their monthly visits when school is in session. Enterprising reporters interested in wide exposure for…

from UO’s public records system. Emphasis in the original: Dear Bill, President Gottfredson received your inquiry, included below, and has asked me to respond on his behalf. As a result of further discussion, we will be modifying our fee practices so that simple, straightforward requests that take less than one…
Diane Dietz on our new President – she’s not happy with his fake news conference: Gottfredson said he’ll spend the rest of the summer exploring the campus, meeting with deans and faculty and learning the issues. Fair enough, but remember, winter is coming. Then there’s this: Treetops, at 2237 Spring Blvd., is an…
Any comments or suggestions for new President Gottfredson are welcome here.
