11/7/2013: Very interesting column in the Chronicle, by a Dean who reports being blind-sided by a faculty vote of no-confidence, which was followed by his firing. UO needs an evaluation system for its senior administrators so they can get useful feedback from the faculty, before things get to this level.…
5/19/2013: As part of Robin Holmes’s 5-year Administrative review, she will be giving a campus-wide presentation Wednesday, May 29 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in the Gerlinger Lounge. Presumably she’ll be taking questions, maybe even answering them.
2/20/2013: Congratulations to Nathan Tublitz and the Senate: SPQUO. Stupid and futile gesture works! Dear colleagues, I am writing to let you know that James Bean has requested a return to his faculty position at the Lundquist College of Business at the end of this fiscal year. Jim’s more than four…
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…
11/7/2012: Both the measures below, on faculty input into admin evaluation and hiring, were passed unanimously by the UO Senate today. Next up?

9/23/2012. Here’s an outline, suggestions welcome. Note that there are now two separate motions. Also see the comments and the discussion at http://pages.uoregon.edu/uosenate/dirsen/1_15_97mins.html for a previous Senate effort at this. 1) A motion to ensure faculty and Senate input into the hiring of executive administrators: The UO Senate requests that the UO administration…
It’s been a while since the latest Beangram. Someone told me he sent out something about online education a few weeks ago, probably got caught in my spam along with the Nigerian offers. Today there’s this from Indiana University – an $8 million initiative to develop online courses. Given the…
7/24/2012: That’s Stephen Hsu in Physics, hired by Michigan State as VP for Research. More information on his blog, here. He will be missed. Michigan had an open, public search with faculty input. The faculty has a formal written agreement with the administration requiring that. The process starts with the…
12/12/2010: This quarter’s grades are now up for the UO administrators. Given that Chip Kelly only got an A-, our poll responders seem a bit on the tough side. You want to see more evidence of effort? . Title Name Fall 2010 GPA Fall 2010 Grade . Coach, Football Kelly,…
