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.
While Ohio University has deflected all questions about whether Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration Deborah Shaffer is an Ohio resident, many other state universities affirmed that their chief financial officers reside in the Buckeye State.
OU has declined on numerous occasions to answer whether Shaffer, who no longer owns residential property in the state, is a resident. University leaders say Shafferâs residence isnât relevant to the institutionâs work, a point they reiterated when asked for comment for this report.
The Athens NEWS contacted 10 Inter-University Council public universities in Ohio asking about the residency of their finance executives. OU competes with many of those institutions for undergraduate students and uses them all as benchmarks for compensation of its executive employees.
