9/9/2013 update: Note that I am not requesting attorney notes, just transcripts taken by a UO non-attorney stenographer: Summarizing, I am requesting that the District Attorney order UO to release what I believe are transcripts, or very close to transcripts, taken by a university employed non-attorney, of meetings that were…

8/26/2013: An amazing story in the Oregon Quarterly by UO journalism graduate Elisabeth Kramer, on 1966 ODE Editor Annette Buchanan and her role in creating Oregon’s shield law, which protects journalists and their sources. All over a story about pot smoking on campus. How far have we slid back in…
8/14/2013 update: Finally got one page from Geller’s office on HLGR billing issues, in which Rudnick’s firm promises to be more vigilant in the future. 6/23/2013.

8/1/2013 update: That was back in April, for the Jan, Feb and March invoices. Now UO is stonewalling again. Almost 2 months since I asked Dave Hubin and Randy Geller for the April, May, and June invoices for Rudnick, and the other firms advising the admin bargaining team. The DOJ…
7/27/2013: Plus another $56,000 to the San Fran anti-union firm, Curiale, Hirschfeld and Kraemer. Or that’s the rumor tonight around the faculty club BBQ pit. I don’t believe all the HLGR money is for bargaining, part of it must be for some lawsuit Geller isn’t competent to deal with in-house.…

5/16/2013: Presumably Randy Geller is getting competent legal advice somewhere. Frohnmayer wrote the original version. And if it’s HLGR it would help explain Rudnick’s bargaining table outbursts about keeping shared governance out of the contract. HLGR wrote the Nike tax relief bill that Kitzhaber pushed through in special session, so…
Knight Library Room 101, 3:00‐5:00 pm Prologue: Be there – two key motions: Adoption of a rational Legal Representation Policy, introduced by Senate VP Margie Paris.
