9/2/2011: I’m sorry, but there’s no polite way to state that simple fact: More docs on Pernsteiner here. And more on order from OUS. We also pay his mortgage. And thanks to an anonymous commenter for explaining what’s really going on here: The fact is that the UO would like…

7/25/2011: Word from the SEIU union is that the state DAS has agreed on a contract, but the OUS locals are still negotiating with Chancellor Pernsteiner’s bargaining team on the OUS details. Staff making $25,000 a year will now have to pay 5% of their health insurance. The furloughs continue.…
7/15/2011: More docs on the way on Pernsteiner’s croissant expenditures, Treetops, and the OUS board. Probably next week.

when he reads this in the morning Oregonian: SALEM — The Oregon Government Ethics Commission voted Wednesday to issue letters of reprimand to three investment officers at the Oregon State Treasury. A majority of the commission agreed there were violations of state ethics law involving travel expenses and reimbursements while…

6/20/2011: From Michelle Cole in the Oregonian: Monday is a big day for education policy in the Oregon Legislature.

6/1/2011: The OUS Board meets Friday. “The Board will review and approve the proposed tuition and fee rates for 2011-12.” Yes, the agenda states they will approve the increases. No vote? Bill Graves has a good story in the Oregonian, here. From OUS: UO – The University of Oregon is…

4/13/2011: (Updated, Verbano ODE story here, bojack.org here.) A random dump of a few months of OUS Chancellor Pernsteiner’s expense accounts.
