Turns out Gallogly was unable to follow through on his promise to destroy Boren in the end.

I wonder if we'll ever get the full story about how and why Gallogly was hired and what his mission was.
Wow, I didn't always agree with all of Boren's decisions but after working at OU for 8 years I personally saw how much he loved that University. I can't think of anyone who has done more for OU than David Boren. It's such a shame his legacy has tarnished by this. I wish they could have let him retire and just left him alone.
I can understand that they wanted him to step aside but I can't believe it was handled this way.
The guy raised over $1 BILLION for the university, transformed the campus, and substantially enhanced the academic standing and standards.
They bring in Gallogly who was a total assclown and seemed hell-bent on destroying Boren before he even took office; then suddenly slunk out of town with zero notice or explanation.
It's all incredibly shameful and smacks of personal and political vendettas and really reflects badly on the entire university.
It's astonishing how badly the OU regents screwed over the university with this mess, but they're so out of the public eye that it must just look like OU drama to the common person.
Every regent that helped select Gallogly should resign in shame, but we all know that there will never be accountability on that level for it.
NonDoc has had great coverage of this whole ordeal. Worth the read. https://nondoc.com/2020/10/20/prosec...en-tripp-hall/
It wasn't just that. Boren has been a target of a certain political, religious, and social persuasion for some time. He's been personally and viciously attacked for 40 years. It is only recently that they thought they had the power to do it... Make Oklahoma Great Again .... God is for us and not you... Put all public policy in the hands of private for profit thinking business people. Problem is, no matter how much mud they throw, they haven't found the kind that sticks and they just keep looking foolish and worse. This is the crowd that wants to PUNISH anyone who thinks differently and dares to stand up to them.
