Michael Cawley was appointed chairman of the OU Board of Regents Tuesday afternoon, succeeding recently departed former regent Gary Pierson.
An Oklahoma City resident, Cawley was appointed in December 2019 following the abrupt resignation of former regent and board vice chair Renzi Stone. In a press release following his appointment, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt praised the Hooker, Oklahoma, nativeâs dedication to âserving rural Oklahoma.â
The chairman position was left vacant after Pierson finished the remainder of former regent Bill Burgessâ term. Pierson was originally appointed to finish the term after Burgess died in February 2019.
Previously, Cawley has served the board as chair of the Health and Clinical Enterprises Committee and Cameron University liaison.
