Many of us have probably heard these rumors for many years

The University of Oklahoma is paying one of the largest law firms in the world to investigate former President David Boren, sources have confirmed.

Investigators with the Jones Day law firm have asked whether Boren sexually harassed male aides, sources said.

Rumors like this have circulated since he was Governor more than 40 years ago.

Def looked like he walked light in his loafers.

The Scottish have a saying that goes something like "Shirt Lifter" or "Skirt Lifter", which one are you?

 

[Schoonerman]

I've heard the rumors too, but all I know is that he was one helluva U.S. Senator and university president.

Like most of these allegations made against people in power, it's going to come down to one person's word against another. Even though there might be photos, audio or video recordings or a paper trail showing someone was paid off for their silence, some will not believe the truth.

I heard people refer to him as "Squishy Butt" way back in the early 80's.

Wow, you merciless creature, I hope you understand the damage you have inflicted on my "mental picture" sensors.

 

[BerryhillBoomer2017]

Gross lol

 

[iasooner1]

I first heard him dubbed Daphne in 1976 but that was when I worked with some 'gentlemen of that persuasion'. Schoonerman remembers them feeding us liquor...

As someone who put his heart and soul into OU, I can only hope that the rumors prove unfounded. I always thought of him as a great Oklahoman and representative of our university.

sexual "preference"

Calling it that upsets the libs.

David Boren did a lot for our state as an U.S. Senator for many years and was a wonderful President of OU for 24 years. There were almost no criticisms of him in his long tenure at OU but he had many accolades for his great accomplishments at OU.
David Boren was loved by those in the academic part of OU and was equally loved by those in the athletic side of OU led by Joe Costiglione and Bob Stoops.

I don't think any past OU President accomplished so much for the benefit of OU as did David Boren.

Boren is innocent in my mind until proven guilty.

David Boren being gay is the worst "secret" in the history of mankind. I knew his room mate at OU ... so if there is anyone out there that just now discovered his sexual preference then you are decades behind the times.

I'm not going to pile on Boren as I thought [for the most part] he did a good job at OU. However, in the end, I believe he did plenty of harm as well. He did re-build the OU campus. He did some good things, but he also did some not so good things.

I'm going to link this article from a long time OU professor who come to the defense of new President James Gallogly. He points out the negatives of David Boren likely to long term at OU.

Wow Looks like Boren took OU way down the rabbit hole and turned it into another Berkley....this is not the OU I knew ....

 

[Scottsdale.Sooner]

I thought Boren went to Yale not OU.

 

[Zgeo]

The $billion debt Boren created is a huuuge issue.....Gallogly can handle that given time.....the dive down the rabbit hole to the left liberal indoctrination camp is tougher to correct...probably gives a boost to OSU unfortunately, but it is what it is, TexASS seems to be able to survive as a flaky far left indoctrination camp...

 

[soonerinlOUisiana]

Just learned of this today. Any developments? The most recent stories I can find are around March 2019. I'm really starting to understand how all the left-wing jack-a$$ery that permeates OU came about.

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

I havee a feeling that someone of these 'leftist' policies are the ones responsible for the no horns down fiasco.
