The PBS News Hour uses the Frohnmayer family tragedy with Fanconi’s Anemia and the UO/FSU Rose Bowl game as a hook to examine the larger issue of research on rare diseases, here:
HARI SREENIVASAN: Dr. Summar, that attention, focus, there are 7,000-plus rare genetic disorders out there. And I’m going to feel a little callous saying this, but it’s almost the best thing that can happen is a celebrity gets it.
DR. MARSHALL SUMMAR, Children’s National Medical Center: In many ways, there’s some truth to that. …
HARI SREENIVASAN: Dr. Summar, what about these other 7,000 diseases? How do they gain kind of attention, especially from the pharmaceutical companies, right?
I mean, I hate to be a capitalist about it, too, but where’s the market? If it’s only 1,000 people or 500 people, do drug companies say, OK, we will take that risk and we will put in all that money into research and development and try to find a cure, vs. going after diabetes or cancer, right?
DR. MARSHALL SUMMAR: Well, that’s actually a great question, because, historically, they didn’t. They stayed away from the rare disease field. They figured there weren’t that many patients. There wasn’t much market. …
4/26/2010: What do gifts buy?
Greg Bolt of the RG will tell you that Pat Kilkenny has been working for UO without a written contract, just like Bellotti did. Not a surprise at this point. But why did Dave Frohnmayer ever put Kilkenny in charge of the UO athletics department, and let him decide how many millions of dollars – most of it public money, or tax deductible gifts – would be spent how, and on which coach?
These things are very complicated and involve lots of mutual respect and consideration of the public interest are usually about money.
Frohnmayer received $200,000 per year in pay from donors to the UO Foundation, and a special $150,000 bonus in 2009. These payments to Frohnmayer amounted to about 3% of the entire payout from the UO endowment that year. Who gave this money? What were the terms of the gifts? The Oregon Attorney General has ruled that the UO Foundation can keep this a secret.
But the IRS has released the data on donations from Pat Kilkenny’s “Lucky Duck Foundation” to Dave Frohnmayer’s Fanconi Foundation. Courtesy of the IRS and www.guidestar.org. Kilkenny gave $240,000 the year before Frohnmayer appointed him as Athletic Director, and another $100,000 each year since.
This is a sad story for everyone involved, in just about every possible sense. And no one would argue that Frohnmayer benefited financially from these donations to the Fanconi Foundation. But they create an obvious potential for a conflict of interest. Frohnmayer should have immediately made them public, and recused himself from any decisions involving Pat Kilkenny. Instead he kept quiet and then appointed him UO Athletic Director and gave him control of a budget of about $60 millon, mostly public funds. Not good, Mr. Frohnmayer.

P&L statements on Texas Professors

P&L statements on Texas Professors
P&L statements on Texas Professors
"This is apparently stirring up a lot of anger among some professors. I’m not sure why, obviously this is just a small part of what we do but it is a part.
I did these calculations a while ago for President Emeritus Frohnmayer, on the argument that people should know exactly how much his golden parachute costs the rest of the faculty. I got some angry comments – presumably from Frohnmayer – on that post. Then this summer, I asked to see his current year contract. He hadn’t signed one, but he was still getting paid – in summer. That raised a few red flags, and Russ Tomlin quickly put him on the regular TRP retirement plan, cutting his cost to UO by about $200,000 a year. The power of information.

Steve Duin: The truth about power in Oregon
http://www.oregonlive.com/news/oregonian/steve_duin/index.ssf/2013/08/steve_duin_the_truth_about_pow.html
"When then-Gov. Ted Kulongoski asked Kroger to investigate the arrangement, Long declined to be interviewed. Two other Energy employees, however, told Sean Riddell, the deputy AG leading the investigation, that Long called attention to Hayes' relationship with Kitzhaber, who was poised to run for governor, and ordered one of them to "fix it."

Two other Energy employees, however, told Sean Riddell, the deputy AG leading the investigation, that Long called attention to Hayes' relationship with Kitzhaber, who was poised to run for governor, and ordered one of them to "fix it."
No one should be surprised that Long is sensitive to issues of power and influence.
He is the son of Stan Long, a long-time friend and associate of former AG Dave Frohnmayer, and a founding partner of the law firm Harrang Long Gary Rudnick.
Harrang Long is rather well-connected, especially when it comes to Oregon's Department of Justice.
Not only is Frohnmayer in the fold, but the firm's roster includes two former Solicitor Generals, Bill Gary and Jim Mountain, and Pete Shepherd, DOJ's second-in-command from 2001-2009.
They know how Justice works. Or how it long has.
Gary is equipped with the tenacity that would give a pitbull pause. He is the rare litigator who has represented both Oregon Health Sciences University and Philip Morris, the tobacco company that has long provided OHSU with so many customers."

"University of Oregon president Dave Frohnmayer faces bar and ethics complaints from a professor at the school.
The complaints, filed last month by William Harbaugh, a tenured associate professor of economics, allege that Frohnmayer's financial disclosure form for 2005 "did not accurately document his economic interests" and also raise potential conflict-of-interest charges.
Frohnmayer says the complaints—the first filed against him in his 12-year tenure as school president—are without merit."
"I'm astonished," Frohnmayer says. "These complaints are completely unfounded."
State law requires elected officials and most senior public officials to file verified statements of economic interest annually with Oregon's Government Standards and Practices Commission, more commonly known as the ethics commission.

OUS cuts special deal for Frohnmayer and Rudnick
OUS cuts special deal for Frohnmayer and Rudnick
3/29/2013: OUS’s Oregon Administrative Rule 580 exempts a few things from the normal transparent competitive bidding process for state procurement:
(k) Goods or services related to intercollegiate athletic programs.
(L) Cadavers or cadaveric organs.
…
(u) Contracts for professional or expert witnesses or consultants to provide services or testimony relating to existing or potential litigation or legal matters in which an Institution is or may become interested.
At its April 5 meeting the board is going to amend that a little, adding all legal services to the list, so that UO can hire firms like Rudnick and Frohnmayer’s HLGR in secret, and without competitive bids:
I’ve written before about Dave Frohnmayer’s success at using his state funded sabbatical to restart his legal career at Harrang, Long, Gary and Rudnick. (Full disclosure: Frohnmayer emailed me back in January, taking umbrage with some of my statements about the golden parachute deal he negotiated with Pernsteiner while simultaneously trying convince the faculty and staff to take furloughs.) HLGR then used Frohnmayer’s UO connections as a hook to get legal work from UO and OUS, while simultaneously promising there was no conflict of interest – thought they neglected to note Frohnmayer was still on the UO payroll. It took a petition to the AG and the help of Phil Barhart’s office to get UO to fork over the proposals. I love that “and at your discretion” part of the HLGR proposal:

http://www.uomatters.com/2009/08/how-rare-is-frohnmayers-sweet.html
How rare is Frohnmayer’s sweet retirement deal?
8/14/2009: We’ve reported before on Frohnmayer’s amazing retirement contract. The OUS board created a new position for him, called “President Emeritus”. He keeps his $245,000 base salary plus whatever the Foundation gives him to top it off, (currently $50K as Knight chair) plus a secretary and a GTF, plus a full salary 1/2 year sabbatical, plus a 90% salary 2 month “study leave”, plus offices in the HC and the law school, plus expenses including travel. In return he agrees to teach one 20 person class per year. Furthermore, when he decides to really retire, UO still won’t be done shelling out the bucks – he will be eligible for the same golden parachute contract that he gave to his former Provost, John Moseley.
Frohnmayer’s retirement package is unusually generous even in the sycophantic world of university boards and administrators. For example, Insidehighered.com has a story on a renegotiation of the retirement contract for retired NC State Chancellor (President) James Oblinger. He was originally allowed to keep his Chancellor’s salary for 6 months, before going back to a regular faculty member’s pay (and duties!). If we read Dave’s contract correctly, his deal is good for as long as he wants it. I’m guessing that will be a really, really long time. Page one says “Further, at all times, Frohnmayer shall enjoy the privileges associated with serving as a tenured professor at the University of Oregon School of Law.” But the contract says absolutely nothing about any of the responsibilities. He can teach a class in the law school someday – if he chooses to do so.

Frohnmayer repays salary to UO

Frohnmayer repays salary to UO
7/20/2011: When UO President Dave Frohnmayer retired he negotiated a very sweet retirement deal with OUS Chancellor George Pernsteiner. Too sweet. A week after someone raised questions about the unusual salary Frohnmayer received last summer – no work expectations and 3 retroactive contracts – Frohnmayer had to write UO out a personal check, reimbursing us for a chunk of it. The SOS Audits division looked into this and wrote a report identifying some other issues as well.
He’s no longer on the UO payroll. I don’t think I’ll post the report. I suppose the photocopy of his check is a public record, but whatever. He is still listed as a law professor – helps get clients, I suppose – and he still has his office suite in Chapman. But he paid us back, and he’s off the payroll – good enough for me.

Frohnmayer gets award from corrupt Academy

"What exactly does it take to lose the faith of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences?
For a couple of weeks now, the Cambridge institution has been under siege amid allegations that its longtime president, Leslie Cohen Berlowitz, has committed a litany of offenses, the major one being claiming a doctorate from New York University that she never earned.
Berlowitz was placed on paid leave from her $598,000-a-year job while her tenure is being investigated by the law firm of Choate, Hall and Stewart. They keep getting more to look into: The latest report by the Globe’s Todd Wallack indicates that she was made a fellow of the academy under curious circumstances, which were covered by rewriting a months-old press release.
Her response? Sexism:
“Neither the academy nor President Berlowitz is going to respond to subjective, interpretive, and gossipy allegations from former employees and unnamed sources,” Howell said in the statement. “Nor are they going to respond to personal questions that are irrelevant, do not belong in the public domain and, frankly, smack of sexism.”

Oregonian reports on HLGR’s latest effort to suck the state’s sugar tit dry,
http://www.uomatters.com/2014/08/oregonian-reports-on-hlgrs-latest-effort-to-suck-up-state-cash.html
"By my math UO and the state have paid Frohnmayer about $1.25M in PERS and about $750,000 in salary since he retired as president in summer 2009. About $250K of that salary was while he was restarting his legal career at HLGR. Add in whatever he got from the Long lawsuit – not to mention his work for big tobacco and for BP, lobbying to kill money for legal services for the poor. His UO salary won’t end until May 2015, docs here."

Why Dave Frohnmayer is not an acceptable interim President
http://www.uomatters.com/2011/12/why-dave-frohnmayer-is-not-acceptable.html
"Here is Frohnmayer’s 2009 golden parachute sabbatical contract, negotiated with his pal George Pernsteiner. It took me three months and two petitions to the DOJ to force OUS lawyer Ryan Hagemann to produce this contract. It’s not hard to see why. Here’s a video clip of Frohnmayer trying to convince the UO faculty to go along with Pernsteiner’s plan for “voluntary furloughs.”
This was right after Pernsteiner had given Frohnmayer a $150,000 bonus, and taken a raise for himself – which OUS spokesperson Di Saunders then tried to hide from the Oregonian, just as they’d tried to hide Frohnmayer’s previous raises, and who paid for them.
Frohnmayer spent his sabbatical restarting his legal career, not doing the research he claimed he would do. Here’s the state audits division investigation report. He had to write a check refunding UO money.
He was paid for retroactive summer contracts Russ Tomlin set up for him, after the lack of written contracts had been reported. Shades of Mike Bellotti.
Frohnmayer never accepted responsibility for Bellotti, but blamed it all on his scapegoat, Melinda Grier. That’s leadership for you.
He appointed Pat Kilkenny AD, after Kilkenny started making large donations to his Fanconi Foundation. Two weeks before stepping down as President he signed a secret deal with Kilkenny, giving the athletic department half off on overhead and requiring the academic side to pay them $375,000 for using the Autzen skybox.
No more of Frohnmayer’s old guard. No more Frohnmayer. Unacceptable.
Dave Frohnmayer shoves Melinda Grier under the bus:

Behind the Scenes: Dave Frohnmayer's Salary
http://blog.oregonlive.com/steveduin/2008/12/behind_the_scenes_dave_frohnma.html
"In the essay -- titled "Misplaced priorities? Follow the money" -- Harbaugh hit on some familiar themes, noting that while many things are in decline at UO, the compensation package of university President Dave Frohnmayer is not.
If money is tight in the Oregon University System, Harbaugh wrote, the OUS Board "has somehow found the cash to increase UO President Frohnmayer's pay by 325 percent." He pegged Frohnmayer's total compensation at $717,000 ...
...And that prompted a revealing response from Ryan Hagemann, secretary of the State Board of Higher Ed.
Hagemann wrote to The Oregonian, arguing that Harbaugh's numbers were wrong. He argued that Frohnmayer received a state salary of $245,700 and additional compensation from the UO Foundation of $199,260, putting his annual pay at$444,960.
"As such," Hagemann's letter states, "Mr. Frohnmayer's total state and privately funded annual pre-tax salary combined is $444,960, not the inflated number of $700,000 as cited by Mr. Harbaugh. lf Oregonians are interested in comparing university presidents nationwide, The Chronicle of Higher Education completes an annual survey which is available on their website."
Collecting What’s Owed Lawmakers move to fix a gaping hole in class action lawsuit awards.
http://www.wweek.com/portland/article-22025-collecting_what’s_owed.html
"Williamson says the objections are “absurd,” simply rehashing old criticisms of class action lawsuits.
She and Read take specific exception to Frohnmayer and Gary’s letter because it makes no mention of the fact that their firm represents cigarette manufacturer Philip Morris in a current case before the Oregon Supreme Court, as well as BP in the oil company’s appeal of the $580 million Oregon verdict. "
Editorial: Growing moral vacuity
http://www.thedalleschronicle.com/news/2013/oct/10/editorial-growing-moral-vacuity/
WW described Frohnmayer as “the star witness and paid expert for Big Tobacco against the state of Oregon.” It happened during a closed arbitration panel in Chicago. The newspaper obtained Frohnmayer’s testimony through a public records request to the state Department of Justice. It reported that Frohnmayer assisted “tobacco firms trying to get out of making payments to the state of Oregon under the tobacco settlement reached more than a decade ago.”
"The prominent public figure who loses his way has become a staple of the last decade. Perhaps it is because we know more about our public figures. Perhaps it’s because their careers are running longer. Perhaps it’s because temptation looms larger these days.
#Dave Frohnmayer is the latest Oregon politician to surprise us. Willamette Week reported last week that Oregon’s former attorney general was compensated by tobacco companies to be their witness in their case arguing they should pay less to the state of Oregon. To anyone familiar with Frohnmayer’s history over the past three decades, this news prompted a double-take and a response of “Huh?”
Frohnmayer’s latest ethics problem
http://www.uomatters.com/2012/06/ethics-complaint-filed-against.html
6/15/2012 update: I’m no legal ethics professor, but this doesn’t look good for Frohnmayer:
The full letter is here. The Bar’s disciplinary counsel has given Frohnmayer and Gary until 6/21 to respond. The Bend Bulletin reportsthat the county has spent about $100,000 on the matter so far, presumably much of it to Frohnmayer and Gary’s firm. Meanwhile Flaherty has filed a bar complaint against Pilliod.
5/21/2012: The latest Oregon Bar complaint docs are here. Keeping up with Frohnmayer’s ethics issues is a full-time job, I’ve only glanced at these, I think the meat is in the last few pages.
4/21/2012: I’m pretty sure this will only interest my law school readers, at best, but I thought I’d post this Oregon State Bar ethics complaint, filed in March by Valerie Wright against Frohnmayer, Bill Gary, and Deschutes County Counsel Mark Pilliod for the record. It’s a twisted story. The Bend Bulletin has a helpful timeline.
Wright is a lawyer and the wife of Deschutes County DA Patrick Flaherty. From what I can tell Deschutes county hired our former Pres at $550 an hour last year to help Pilliod and the county commissioners with a Bar ethics complaint they were supporting against Flaherty, who had opened a grand jury investigation against Pilliod involving a relatively trivial sounding violation of public records law – or maybe I’m jaded. Or maybe this all goes back to Flaherty defeating the commissioner’s favorite longtime DA in an election.
Wright alleges that in the course of pursuing the ethics complaint against her husband Frohnmayer and Gary and Pilliod made some false statements to the bar, so she’s filing this ethics complaint against them:

"EXCLUSIVE: Those who dared expose government corruption in the Moonlight Fire case have just been met with a furious motion to disqualify all counsel and everyone who has even read the affidavit of former Assistant United States Attorney E. Robert Wright."
"Perhaps Judge Shubb, like Judge Emmet G. Sullivan and others who are fed up with our government officials lying and covering up their abuses, will see through the government’s smoke and disqualify Mr. Shelledy and the rest of the United States Attorneys’ Office. They are the ones who appear infected with corruption and deceit."

Tag Archives: Dave Frohnmayer: UO President Tobacco lawyer and oil company lobbyist Dave Frohnmayer quoted in the NYT

“When you use a public office, pretty shamelessly, to vouch for a private party with substantial financial interest without the disclosure of the true authorship, that is a dangerous practice,” said David B. Frohnmayer, a Republican who served a decade as attorney general in Oregon. “The puppeteer behind the stage is pulling strings, and you can’t see. I don’t like that. And when it is exposed, it makes you feel used.”

And when it is exposed, it makes you feel used.”
"This is the same Dave Frohnmayer who shamelessly restarted his legal career at Harrang, Long, Gary, and Rudnick while getting paid by UO for a sabbatical that was supposed to be used for research. He then let HLGR use his name to get UO’s lucrative legal contract, which is still costing us about $500K a year, and paying him who knows how much."
"He then used his status as a UO Law Professor (which he keeps by teaching one single credit week long pass/fail law course each year) to add credibility to his arguments for big tobacco and against the state of Oregon, as described in Oregonian and in Willamette Week. He then lobbied the Oregon legislature – without registering as a lobbyist – in support of BP’s efforts to keep money from class action lawsuits against them to be used to pay for legal aid for the poor, as described in Oregonian and in Willamette Weekly:"

Oregon's former A.G. Dave Frohnmayer's criminal misconduct!!
Arab/Muslim Americans are being persecuted and our homes are stolen from us by the highest Officials of Oregon and no one is stopping it!
Rep. Bob Ackerman forged my family's signatures sold our paid Condo without my signature on the deed with Frohnmayer's help!!
Oregon's former A.G.Frohnmayer is preventing me getting employed, made me homeless! He sold a fully paid Condo by forgery!
The Lane County D.A office has informed me that they have NO JURISDICTION on Dave Frohnmayer!!!!
http://private-person.com/blog/2014/05/us-supreme-court-rules-government-officers-liable/
He is charging $550.00 an hour and his law firm Harrang, Long, Gary, Rudnick P.C. is the D.A. of Lane County, City Attorney and the U of Oregon too!!
Frohnmayer's committed more fraudulent crimes,forgery than any elected/nonelected official! Noone is holding him accountable!
