6/28/2014 update: Slow Saturday, thought I’d repost this classic. President Gottfredson and Provost Coltrane have now given former Provost Jim Bean a new job – directing UO’s new “Sports Product” cluster of excellence. We’ve been paying him $245K a year for putting the proposal together: 4/16/2012: Bean and Davis rehire John Moseley Johnson Hall…
7/31/2013: Back in July 2011 UO got in trouble with the State auditors for post-dating Frohnmayer’s retirement contracts and no bothering to specify what work he’d done for the money. Then Bean got in trouble with Davis for hiring his buddy John Moseley for an extended post-retirement gig without bothering to…
2/17/2013: Time to get real. Gottfredson’s not going to fire Bean. He’s not even going to fire Geller. It’s up to us faculty. Sure, we could fight with conventional weapons, like Tublitz’s senate resolution. But that would take years. No, this requires a really stupid and futile gesture. And So…
Check the date on Interim Provost Jim Bean’s org chart. His friends are back: I guess it’s time to ask for more contracts, to see what their pay and perks are this time. These are the people advising Gottfredson? Or are we paying them to do, or not do, something else?…
4/3/2012: In a previous post I said that Provost Bean was being paid 60% of his administrative salary and a BMW while he was on a sabbatical to do research in his field of genetic algorithms and operations research. My statements were false. Bean is not getting a Beamer while…
1/27/2012: Apparently she’s still on the payroll though – as a special assistant to interim Provost Lorraine Davis. Sure is fun spending other people’s money on your friends. Shades of John Moseley. I don’t envy Moffitt having to do the performance evaluations on the rest of her crew. Lots of…
7/4/2011: I didn’t believe this until someone sent me proof. Former UO Provost John Moseley is still on Provost Jim Bean’s payroll – $248,941 at an 0.5 FTE. Tell me how this is not a crime?
7/28/2010: Ryan Buckley had a story on the end of Bend a few days back, that I missed. He managed to get both current Provost Jim Bean and former Provost John Moseley to speak on the record: “The statements that some faculty have made that the program was ‘costing UO…
7/19/2010: From Greg Bolt in the RG, on the end of Bend: … Some faculty members who reviewed the budget concluded that the program was costing the university more than $1 million a year beyond what it brought in, draining revenue from the Eugene campus as it struggles with steep…
7/12/2010: Here’s more on the end of Bend, from Sheila Miller in the Bend Bulletin: HEAT, a committee composed of 22 people, including representatives from Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties, was asked to come up with the recommendations in line with the goals of increasing education offerings and opportunities for…
4/6/2010: There will be a lot of attention paid today to the unusual verbal contract which, apparently, Frohnmayer and Kilkenny negotiated with Bellotti with the help of UO General Counsel Melinda Grier – leaving President Lariviere holding the bag. Here’s another case of the sort of sweetheart deals that have…
4/1/2010: From Mike Tokhito in the Oregonian: “In light of these circumstances and disclosures, I’ve requested the director of internal audit, Patricia Snopkowski, to review the agreement and the circumstances surrounding its execution, in order to assure that all applicable laws, rules and board policies have been met,” George Pernsteiner,…
9/14/2009: What is it about UO administrators. Do they take a blood oath to defend each others’ paychecks til the bitter end? We’ve written before about the OUS audit which found current Provost Bean had cut former Provost Moseley’s retirement contract job duties without reducing his FTE, and was letting…
9/11/2009: The Bend Bulletin editorial board writes: Although it’s difficult to be gleeful in light of the big picture, supporters of the Oregon State University-Cascades Campus must be at least hopeful today. Alone among public higher education institutions in Oregon, it may well see its finances improve in the coming…
