He is “Interim” no more...
Saturday, the regents unanimously voted to delete the word “interim” from Harroz’ title and move him to the permanent position of OU’s 15th president.
After nearly a year of watching Harroz lead as interim, the timing was right for the regents to make the permanent appointment, Chair Gary Pierson said Saturday.
“Everybody that’s on the [board] is an experienced business person with very, very deep experience, and your intuition tells you some things along the way,” Pierson said. “...It has been a year, so we thought we had a good body of work. We especially thought we had a good body of work under stress in the last two months, and collectively, every one of us thought now is the time, rather than dragging on further uncertainty and instability and questioning. At a certain point, you just have to make a business decision.”

On a historic day marking the appointment of Harroz as the 15th OU president, the crowd that listened to Harroz’s remarks and celebrated afterward was also historic — seated six feet apart from each other and wearing provided masks to avoid the spread of COVID-19.
