"Oregon brought former Stanford athletics director Ted Leland to Eugene to produce a State of the Cas Center report.
According to sources, Leland spent two days interviewing UO coaches, athletics administrators and donors, to assess the athletic department under Bill Moos.
Presumably, he presented his evaluation, the good and the not, to UO president Dave Frohnmayer.
A question: Had Moos, by then, already determined that he was moving on, and the purpose of this was to leave an objective outside analysis for Frohnmayer and the next AD?
Or did Leland's findings have an effect on Oregon's decision to seek close to $2 million from donors to forge a resignation agreement with Moos?
(The Register-Guard has requested a copy of Leland's report under the state's open records law.)"
To date there has been no word from the Register Guard or the University of Oregon on the Guard's request under Oregon's open records law. When the Register Guard requested a copy of the termination agreement between Bill Moos and The University( where Moos was guaranteed almost $2 million dollars) it was released less than two days after it was requested by the Register Guard and placed on the Guard's website. Why the 7 day delay on the Leland Report? Is the University claiming some sort of privilege or exception to the open records law? Why no report from the Register Guard on the results of their request? Will the candidates for the AD position be able to review The Leland Report before they accept a job offer? Developing
