at Penn State, and now it is coming back to bite them in the ass. Does anyone think UO and OUS have done due diligence with oversight of the Ducks? (Besides Rob Mullens, Jim O’Fallon and Bob Berdahl, who think the faculty has gone too far?) 7/19/2012.
7/18/2012: There have been a few editorials in Oregon papers dealing with the Penn State Paterno/Spanier/Sandusky football scandal. The Daily Astorian editors are the first I’ve seen to explicitly compare the lack of institutional control that led to Penn State with UO’s lack of institutional control of its own athletic…
UO’s Bob Berdahl, from UO Matters 5/22/2012: Last September, after a long series of meetings and after input from the faculty, students, and the press, President Lariviere instituted a simple $200 fee waiver system for public records requests. It worked pretty well. Maybe too well. Yesterday, with no warning or…
Not sure why this took me so long to find. The San Francisco Chronicle, 2005: UC’S PAID LEAVES CALLED ‘BETRAYAL’ – REGENTS’ EDICT IGNORED – 3 top managers were given lucrative furloughs in violation of university policy: Former UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Berdahl received a 13 1/2-month leave at $315,600…
7/4/2012. Jefferson only had a page to work with. He must have thought this was important: To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. … He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole…

I don’t think I know any of them, but congratulations to the “The Tuition is Too Damn High” students. The ODE story on their meeting with Bob Berdahl and Jamie Moffitt here. The RG story is here. It sounds like they asked some informed, tough questions – some of which…
6/1/2012: Rejoice, faculty! It’s the first day of our glorious Provost Jim Bean’s return to Johnson Hall. I’d make a public records request for a copy of his contract, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to pay Bob Berdahl and Randy Geller a dime for it. (Though an anonymous…
5/19/2012: Bob Berdahl’s threats to veto faculty votes on who will chair our committees are getting more strident. And the administration has been setting up its own committees on important issues like policing, without even consulting the senate. But FWIW the senate and committee election results are now posted here.…

3/19/2012: Interim President Bob Berdahl thinks the UO Senate Intercollegiate Athletics Committee is asking too many hard questions about athletics, and he is going to rewrite the committee’s charge to make it easier for the athletic department to have their way with UO. From what I can tell this is…
1/28/2012: Berdahl should have announced he was giving Bean an interim appointment ending June 2013. This would satisfy the immediate need for a body to fill out the provost’s suit. It would also leave the deck clear for the next president to do an open search. But no: Colleagues: The…
