Call for Nominations
Faculty Distinguished Teaching Awards
Deadline for Nominations: FEBRUARY 22, 2002
Faculty, staff, students, and alumni are invited to submit nominations for any faculty
members, .5FTE or greater, tenure or non-tenure related, who have taught at the
University of Oregon for a minimum of two (2) years. The Ersted Award and Thomas F.
Herman Award are presented annually at Spring Commencement to University of
Oregon faculty members for distinguished teaching. Each award will be accompanied by
a recurring monetary reward. (Please note: Graduate Teaching Fellows have their own competition
and are ineligible for these teaching awards.)
Eligibility for Awards
Ersted Award for
Distinguished Teaching
The late Mr. A. J. Ersted established the
Ersted Award for Distinguished Teaching
so the University of Oregon could
annually honor faculty members “who
have taught comparatively short periods
and have demonstrated exceptional
abilities to induce students to reason and
not merely memorize.” The Ersted
Award is presented only to faculty who
are early in their teaching careers. This
teaching may occur at the undergraduate
or graduate level.
Thomas F. Herman Faculty
Achievement Award for
Distinguished Teaching
This award honors senior faculty
members who have achieved outstanding
records as teachers. The Thomas F.
Herman Award is presented only to
faculty members who have academic rank
at the University of Oregon for at least
seven years, and who have demonstrated
long-standing excellence in teaching and
have contributed significantly to student
learning at the undergraduate or graduate
level.

designate a game as homecoming,
but we really don’t do anything
else. So we’re talking about having
a parade and a homecoming queen
and a dance and speakers.
There are clear places where
funding could be better allocated,
like in football tickets. There are so
few, it doesn’t seem unreasonable
that we’d buy a few more seats for
the students.
Q: How would you define di
versity? And how do you plan to
bring together the diverse voices
on campus ?
A: My definition of diversity is,
everyone is diverse in their own
way. No two people are alike, so I
think everyone’s diverse. It seems
like in the past it has just come
down to funding with various mi
nority groups, but we would like
to see them take a bigger role in
expressing their culture and their
diversity to the general student
body.
It seems like they have some
things like that now that aren’t that
well publicized or attended. We
could be putting a big emphasis on
the whole campus and shared cul
ture. It doesn’t seem like the ASUO
really responds to students. We
would definitely do that. We sup
port diversity pretty well.
Q: If two student groups were at
odds with each other, how would
you resolve the conflict?
A: You would have to mediate.
All you can really do is take both
arguments into account and count
them as much as possible, and if
nothing happens, make a decision.
We want them to resolve it them
selves so there won’t be any bitter
feelings later on.
We want both groups to go away
happy, but we’re not going to act in
favoritism to any group. We’re go
ing to weigh all the evidence and
merits to their arguments and com
promise as much as possible.
Q: If there was one thing you
could change about the University
instantly, what would it be?
A: It seems like the University is
run by ASUO, but it is centered to
ward one ideology, and we need
to get all voices and opinions and
representation out there. ... There
is a lot of emphasis on behind-the
scenes dealings, but it seems like
it’s ASUO and a select few, and
the other students don’t get the
benefit of that. A lot of other stu
dents just get ignored. ... A lot of
people don’t even know what
ASUO does.
Q: How would you do things dif
ferently than the current ASUO Ex
ecutive?
A: I would have a higher profile
and do more things that affect stu
dents on a daily or weekly level
and let them know that we’re out
there and working for them. We’re
using $8.5 million, and I realize a
lot of that’s tied up in programs
we’re already doing, and I think
that we should be able to make a
pretty big impact.
I want to be on a more personal
level with the student body as a
whole. I met (ASUO President and
Vice President) Nilda (Brooklyn)
and Joy (Nair) last year during their
election and I haven’t seen them
since. That would be an integral
part of our administration, to have
openness and be as available as
possible to our student body.
They’re really the bosses.
