5/9/2012: Here’s the agenda for today’s Senate meeting, 3PM in the Knight Library. With Bob Berdahl we thought we were hiring a caretaker who’d lend a little gravitas to the search for Larivere’s replacement, keep Pernsteiner at bay, and maybe clean up a few of JH’s more obvious problems. I…

Today, Phil Knight Library, Room 101 3:00 ‐ 5:00 pm Some live notes: (My interpretation of what speakers mean, not their own words!) Lorraine Davis talks about OIEB benchmarks, then announces she is leaving the Senate meeting, but wants to say something about emeritus policy first. Why doesn’t the provost…
4/10/2012 Update: The deadline is extended until 4/24. There’s a list of current nominations here. Many committees do not have enough names. 4/10/2012 Update: The deadline to complete this form is today. 4/5/2012: This will be an important year for shared governance. The call for faculty/OA/staff participation is out: To:…
for leadership at UO for the next few years will have two parts: a) Did you fight back when OUS fired Lariviere? b) Can you get over it already, and put in the effort to get UO back on track? Lots of unpaid committee work coming up for the faculty…
12/7/2011: Two years of hard work by the Senate Governance Committee and some administrator(s) from Johnson Hall. Passed by unanimous vote of the Faculty Assembly, after some discussion of the role of NTTFs and adjuncts, and one friendly amendment from chemist Paul Engelking to correct the “half plus one” rule…
On Wednesday Dec 7, 2011, at 12:58 PM, John E Bonine (UO) wrote: Dear colleagues, I write to you with a plea to attend today’s Faculty Assembly at 3 pm. The revised UO Constitution is up for a vote today. It is a document thathas been intensely negotiated with everyone…
12/7/2011: This constitution has been in development for two years – two years of hard work by the governance committee, compromises with the administration, back and forth, compromises by them with us. It is ready to be passed and signed. People I trust – that you trust – support it.…
12/6/2011: The UO administration has been missing in action since the Lariviere firing. It is obvious that UO needs strong faculty leadership and we clearly have it with our Senate President, the Senate Executive Committee, the Senate, and many, many other faculty, who have showed up and did their teaching…
11/29/2011: Dear Statutory Faculty and UO Community: There will be a STATUTORY FACULTY meeting tomorrow (Wednesday) Nov. 30 from 3:10 to 5 pm in MAC COURT. The meeting will be preceded by a 10-minute University Senate meeting. We strongly encourage all statutory faculty* to participate and warmly invite the UO…
11/2/2011: This is a weird one. I just got the email saying: The special election for the Promotion Tenure-Retention Appeals Committee (PTRAC) and the Faculty Grievance Appeals Committee (FGAC) has begun.

5/26/2011: From Adeline Bash in the ODE: Among the recognition of the successes made over the past year was a call for Senate and administration to work together to do more. In a tearful speech, McNelly — recognized for her work to get voting rights for the University’s classified workers…
5/11/2011: Two interesting stories in the ODE. Nora Simon has a retrospective on UO Senate President Nathan Tublitz’s term: Shared governance means the Senate and the administration have joint power to make decisions that affect the University, according to the University’s charter, and Tublitz has fought to keep that relationship…
12/1/2010: The Senate meets today, agenda here. A report from President Lariviere/Provost Bean on the Riverfront Research Park should be interesting, given recent revelations about UO’s apparent failure to follow the development procedures. I suspect the statement will be limited, given the potential for a lawsuit from the developer. France…
11/9/2010: The Senate has an unusually full agenda for tomorrow – everything from the ORI building to a report by Frances Dyke on parking. The opposition to the ORI project has dug up some documents that apparently show the decisions to approve the building were made without the necessary community…
4/18/2010: I missed the Wed Senate meeting but have heard a few reports: First, Pres Lariviere appeared and made a brief statement about transparency. Leaving Melinda Grier and her lackey Doug Park in charge of public records has been a disaster for UO. Now that it has led to embarrassment…
