MORE BELLOTTI DOMINOES FALL AT THE U OF O

University of Oregon President Richard Lariviere wouldn’t say ‘yes’ or ‘no’, as to whether the university’s general counsel is being forced out over the Bellotti mess.  Melinda Grier has been reassigned to teach at the las school at her present salary of almost $185,000 a year, but she won’t be re-hired in 2011.  She has worked in the U of O administration since 1977.  She was responsible for giving the university legal advice, and presumedly failed in that regard when Mike Bellotti was allowed to move from coach to Athletic Director with a verbal contract only.  The situation led to a 2.3 million dollar payout to Bellotti when he left to join ESPN television.
