One of his first steps after resigning from the Senate was to start the procedure to oust Anita Hill from the OU Staff and he succeeded. He resigned from the Senate to become President of OU.

I did not know that. That is great! My daughter is a lawschool student at OU so I am everlastingly thankful that she did not have Anita Hill as a law professor. Good grief. I am sorry I missed that commencement. My daughter's best friend graduated.

It was the best commencement speech I ever heard.

My oldest daughter was in the Journalism School now College during that period. Anita Hill used to complain that Boren snubbed her whenever she was in attendance at a function. Some of her female freinds got together and endowed a chair for Hill, but Boren refused to match the funding for the endowed chair in the Law School. Hill ended up at the satellite Law School in Tulsa, no one would take her class unless forced, and she finally resigned. Immediately the endowed chair was cancelled. It was hilarious and all over the Norman Transcript.

I met a really nice young woman who was a first year law student at OU last year. She and I passed out literature for the Cole campaign during the primary and worked on putting stickers on mailouts during the general election. If I never see another mailout with stickers again, it will be too soon!
