OT: Boran out at Oklahoma (sexual misconduct)

SOURCE

David Boren is out at Oklahoma after sexual misconduct allegations.

He agreed in a two-page resignation letter to give up his president emeritus title, stop teaching political science at the university and let go of his four free tickets to home football games.

He will no longer be entitled to an administrative assistant, a teaching assistant, a campus office or even a parking space. He also is no longer authorized to speak on behalf of the university in any capacity.

For those who don't know who Boren is, he's a bit of everything:

  • Former Oklahoma Governor
  • Former Oklahoma Senator
  • Former President of University of Oklahoma
  • Big 12 Board of Directors Chairman
  • Taught PolySci at OU

"It's as complete a separation as you can get," OU Regent Gary Pierson said. "We cannot erase history so he will always be a former president of the university. But he won't have any right, title or interest in the university going forward."

No details out yet, but this must be pretty big for OU to immediately separate with (arguably) the most powerful person in the state.
