Not that it will matter: Dear University of Oregon Faculty, and Staff: We need your help! Transportation Services conducts a yearly survey to better understand how students, faculty, and staff commute to and from campus. This survey provides a snapshot of commuting trends and your input will help inform transportation…
Reporter Duncan Baumgarten has the news on the latest increase in the Emerald: The current rate for a day parking pass, based on the University of Oregon Transportation Services website, is $34 a month, $306 for three terms. The rate is new, having increased around a dollar since last year,…
It’s been awhile since this university has had a good parking scandal. I think the most recent was over free Jock Box parking for Rob Mullens, Vin Lananna and Lorraine Davis, and before that the Knight Arena underground garage. This pales in comparison – though the campus’s El Camino drivers…
Having a hard time finding a parking spot on campus, despite your $420 parking fee? Not a problem for the Duck athletic nomenklatura. They get free parking in the Jock Box parking lot: Here’s the list of beneficiaries: Eric Roedl, Craig Pintens, – wait, Tim Gleason’s not on the list? The MOU…
2/23/1015: Since the Ducks are still claiming they pay their own way, it seems like a good time to repost this classic Emerald report: Alex Tomchak and Dave Martinez have the story in a Daily Emerald investigative report – from back in 2010: If you pay a parking ticket doled…
9/6/2013: Looks like Jamie Moffitt is still hiding the subsidies for the underground Matt Court Arena garage and the athlete-only lot in the parking fees for faculty and staff: $384 for 12 months. Too rich for your blood? A commenter suggests an alternative:
5/20/2013: They are making UO parking operations pay nearly $1M a year towards the bonds for the underground Matt Court Arena parking garage – meaning the cost gets tacked on to the fees every UO parking pass holder must pay. And then they earn $370K a year, presumably from game…
I’m no economist, so I won’t even claim to know if this makes sense. It does make the Howard Slusher / Frances Dyke deal look like chump change – with us as the chumps, of course. 6/4/2012.
7/1/2010: Over the last several years UO has raised parking fees by hundreds of dollars, to subsidize construction of the Matt Court garage and the Jock Box athlete-only lot. Today they announced they are lowering the faculty/staff fee from $400 to $384. Big whoop.
6/29/2011: (revised, corrected to note existence of the old rules and the fact that they are also illegal) At some universities it’s automatic. At the University of Montana, it’s apparently subject to the petty whims of the faculty. The UO Senate approved new rules in 2010, but the entire package…
1/14/2011: With Melinda Grier gone, the job of UO scapegoat has been open for more than 6 months. It appears the administration has now appointed VPFA Frances Dyke to the position: Dear Senators: As you know, the new basketball arena opened last night to some fanfare and publicity. Although most…
1/13/2011: Now the UO athletic department is trying to hit the faculty staff and students up for another $10 for parking on game day – whether or not they are going to the game. College of Education Dean Mike Bullis spills the beans on how to keep your money: From:…
12/1/2010: The Senate meets today, agenda here. A report from President Lariviere/Provost Bean on the Riverfront Research Park should be interesting, given recent revelations about UO’s apparent failure to follow the development procedures. I suspect the statement will be limited, given the potential for a lawsuit from the developer. France…
11/9/2010: Here’s a nice moneymaker for DPS: Rent 100 parking spaces from Peacehealth for $25 a month, then sell parking permits for them for $400 a year. Earn a bit more by selling, say, 120 permits for the 100 slots. See UO’s contract with the Peacehealth parking garage here. Of…
