OU President Gallogly to Retire after Less than One Year

[SoonerP226]

Sweet gig that lets you "Retire" after 10 months ...

He's retiring, but on his own, not from OU; from the University's perspective, he's just resigning. He doesn't come close to having enough service credit to qualify for OU retirement, not that that's anything to write home about. Even if he qualified for retirement, he's in the "so long, it's been nice knowin' ya, don't let the door hit ya on the way out" category--basically, he'd get a free parking permit, and that's about it.

Some people just like to work, for whatever reason(s)... besides money.

Maybe so. A friend in his 70's still works, but it's to get away from his psycho wife.

I’m 42, never married, no kids, and no debt. This will never be a problem of mine.

Whole thing stinks to high heaven! Boren has been rumored for years to have a love for guys. Finally get someone that will get to the bottom of those rumors an Bingo he throws his hands up an quits.

What a mess!

I doubt that the Regents had anything to do with him leaving. And who gives a rip what anyone does with another consenting adult? That's not worth wasting University resources on investigating (except for the cases where he has been accused of making unwanted advances).

Gallogly probably just discovered that the job is a lot harder and more thankless than he'd expected; leading in higher education is nothing like leading in private industry. It's not better or worse, it's just different, and not everybody is cut out for it--especially coming in cold like he did.

FWIW, Harroz came to OU with Boren, but he was also working closely with Gallogly. He is also only an interim president, and interim presidents rarely become the President of OU.

I guess if Boren !ied in a deposition that could be an issue for him.

Yeah, he might get impeached...

...but the Senate won't convict.
