But I thought Boren did/attempted to do this? I thought that's why everyone over looks all his flaws, failures, and sexual accusations?

He was driven out in shame, called out repeatedly by his successor, sued in court, and basically humiliated in very public ways.

But yes, he did try and did a great deal, such as drastically raising the endowment, completing more than $1 billion in capital improvements, and raising the academic standards.

As an alumnus, I want nothing more than OU to succeed in all aspects. As a student on campus in Norman in some of Boren's last years, I also witnessed him spend money on international campuses (albeit, I have seen them and they were beautiful; but also unnecessary) and new buildings on campus in Norman all while classrooms didn't have working AC/heat. Boren created a wonderful 10,000ft view university, however, the 1,000ft view was a different story.
