Report by the UO Senate President
to the UO Senate 13 January 2010
US09/10-9 Joint administration/senate committee on State Accountability Metrics
The UO Senate directs the UO Senate President to
appoint members of the University Community to a joint administration/faculty
committee concerning State Accountability Metrics that may be part of a new
governance structure/relationship to the State Of Oregon. The UO Senate
President shall consult widely.
University of Oregon leaders are currently
engaged in conversations with the chancellor, OUS presidents, and elected
leaders regarding fundamental changes in how OUS institutions are funded and
governed by the state. This conversation will continue to occur over the next
few months and will include a dialogue with our campus community and state
policy leaders. The internal conversation will focus on how the UO can continue
to fulfill its critical public mission and remain accountable to the state
under a more autonomous structure. The campus conversation will help reinforce
the idea that under any model, the University of Oregon remains focused on
meeting the needs of Oregonians.
The following people will comprise this
committee
- James Bean (Provost – COCHAIR)
- Krista D Borg (Business Affairs Office)
- Larry Dann (Finance)
- Kassia Dellabough (Education)
- Peter Gilkey (Mathematics – COCHAIR)
- Mary Ann Hyatt (Law)
- Robert Kyr (Music)
- Katy Lenn (Library)
- Leah W Middlebrook (Comparative Literature)
- Debra Merskin (Journalism)

Respectfully submitted
Peter B Gilkey
