"Miscellaneous Services and Supplies"

The UO Financial Transparency Tool was set up by the first iteration of what would become the UO Senate Transparency Committee, during Nathan Tublitz's presidency. It was intentionally crippled by Frances Dyke and UO General Counsel Emerita Melinda Grier, because of what they called "FERPA restrictions."

To try it, log in to Duckweb, then look under "employee information" - but assume the UO administration logs your use of it. I'm well beyond caring, so just send me an email about what I should look for, and I'll log in with my name and post it here for you. Here's your file, anonymous - good luck with your quest, but they've hidden the good stuff:


General Counsel spending on "Miscellaneous":
2010-2011: $73,573
2011-2012: $500,759
2012-2013: $134,072  - just for the first 3.5 months of the FY.

So more than 1/3 of Geller's budget is for "Miscellaneous Services and Supplies". Who would have known that you could use FERPA to hide how much the president's lawyer is paying for competent legal advice? That'll show you where you can stick that transparency, professor. 10/13/2012.

    1. No. Not until we call him into the Senate and give him hell, while it's being videotaped for KEZI. Which won't be long at this rate.

Thanks for commenting on a UO matter. We value comments with solid information, unverified rumors, or your considered, honest opinion - especially if that involves no more than one cuss word.
