Rumor going around: Bruins staying in PAC 12!

The article said about a 1% chance lol

The Regents aren’t going against Newsom and neither is Block. Too much at stake for them. The writing is in the wall.

Regents don't have the power to deny UCLA's move to the BIG 10. Only Chancellor Block has that power.

If Newsom has anything on UCLA, he’ll find a way. Democrats play dirty. They are very powerful in CA.

basketball and scheduling. Eventually the B1G will want 2-3 more west coast teams to ease scheduling when they go to a pod arrangement. Pickings get slim very quick after stanford. Neither Cal (nor UCLA) really care about football, and only then it's to prop up rugby or softball. I'm guessing UW and Oregon get asked to join with Stanford.

SC is blocking Oregon. It will eventually be Stanford and Cal

Big 10 wants to lock down the southern CA TV market along with the prestige that comes with a highly ranked research university joining the conference. That's why the BIG 10 wants UCLA. I hope this is the last time I need to explain this to the idiots out there.

Oregon is Radically Anti-white and Marxist

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statement Guidance for TTF Searches

Office of the Provost and Division of Equity and Inclusion In recognition of the University of Oregon’s determination that equity and inclusion competencies are fundamental to faculty excellence, and also in keeping with our goals of becoming an institution committed to antiracism and other forms of anti-oppression more generally, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Statements are now part of (a) recruitment and (b) the promotion and tenure process. Faculty contributions to diversity, equity, and inclusion receive consideration in the academic review process. Diversity Statements in Faculty Recruitment Building on best practices and the foundational work of University of Oregon academic units, the Provost requires the submission of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion statements from tenure track faculty candidates for all TTF searches. Teaching, research, and service contributions that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion are to be given recognition in the evaluation of candidate’s qualifications. These contributions will take a variety of forms. Office of the Provost and Division of Equity and Inclusion will convene a committee to address the equity and inclusion discussion requirement in major reviews, including promotion and tenure, in Fall 2021. Please contact Janet Woodruff-Borden, Executive Vice Provost for Academic Affairs; Gabe Paquette, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs; or Charlotte Moats-Gallagher, Director, Center for Diversity and Community should you have any questions. Definitions of Equity and Inclusion For purposes of the statement in hiring, a discussion of contributions to institutional equity may include efforts to address and remove barriers to allow Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), people with disabilities, women, and people with the full range of gender and sexual identities to contribute fully to our institutional success. A discussion of contributions to inclusion may involve efforts to restructure existing systems, practices and norms to ensure the meaningful participation and leadership of people from diverse racial, ethnic and other backgrounds, experiences and perspectives in decision-making processes in ways that move the institution forward in its focus on academic excellence. Such work also may include efforts to incorporate individuals or groups from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, first generation college students, students from urban and rural communities, and those who speak English as a second language. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Examples for Research, Teaching and Service Equity and inclusion contributions can be infused into research, teaching and service statements as well as appear in a ‘stand-alone’ diversity statement. Stand-alone diversity statements give prospective candidates an opportunity to elaborate on these topics while integrative statements give candidates the opportunity to articulate the interconnections around inclusion among their professional activities. The guidelines below are intended to assist search committees in thoughtfully considering the wide range of contributions that can be made in this arena in the hiring process.

• RESEARCH - Specific examples of scholarship, research or creative activity related to institutional equity and inclusion.

• TEACHING - Specific examples of evidence that faculty might use to show their contribution to institutional equity and inclusive teaching.

• SERVICE - Specific examples of service related to institutional equity and inclusion.

Evaluating Diversity Statements for Prospective Candidates We ask search committees to use the following rubric to guide their evaluation of diversity, equity, and inclusion statements. This is a heuristic tool to guide discussion. Click here for a rubric example. Click here for a rubric template. Additional references and resources available here.

They aren't sniffing either. neither are a possibility

Stanford will likely not do anything to disrupt academics for their student athletes.

o, I do get it...I just hope that for once he is right....if the Big 10 gets a look at the last three ucly

"crowds" at the Rose Bowl, maybe they come to their senses

CLASSIC!!

@art_vandele For sure. ucla should draw 29,002 fans to their next home game with the good news about staying behind.

Ducks aren’t going anywhere. But Ore st has no say. They were in the same System 15 years ago. But every University went their own way in the State. Each has its own Board of Regents and no one is tied to one another.

OSU has more power in the State legislature (30 miles away in Salem) than UO. OSU is the State’s leading research U - by a huge margin and has deeper alum network in the State. UO’s future support is in question after their octogenarian sugar daddy passes on.

Agreed

And Zero TV market. UW would be, at least they’ve won something

It’s like the ucla fans are protesting the move to the big ten. Except we know that’s not true because there would have to be enough fans to care

Lol. That’s funny. And would be great if the pac schools voted No. But what’s the alternative? sdsu? Fresno? They can’t even beat Arizona and Ore st.

I presume if sdsu and Fresno were in the pac they could recruit at a higher level. Happened with Utah.
