Boren resigns from OU teaching post

NORMAN, Okla. — Former president David Boren has resigned from the teaching position he still held with the University of Oklahoma, bringing the personnel investigation involving him to an end.

This effectively ends any university involvement with the personnel investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct made against Boren, according to a release by the OU Board of Regents. Boren retired from the presidency in June 2018 but remained on campus to teach and was given an office under a presidential transition agreement.

He took a sabbatical for the spring semester, citing health reasons. That decision came after OU had hired the Jones Day law firm to conduct an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct in response to a Title IX complaint made in November of last year.

“We have worked very hard to bring to a close the Title IX issue between David Boren and the University of Oklahoma while respecting individuals who desire to maintain their privacy,” Board of Regents Chair Leslie Rainbolt-Forbes said. “David Boren no longer has any relationship going forward with the university as a result of his resignation.”
