OU received a gift of $2 million from the Mabee Foundation to create an endowed scholarship for students in the College of Law.
The donation was given in memory of Thomas Brett, an OU Law graduate, former U.S. District Judge and long-serving trustee of the Mabee Foundation who died February 6. The foundation seeks to honor Brett with its donation, according to a university press release, calling him âan Oklahoma federal judicial icon.
âJudge Brettâs decades of service on the federal bench were guided by his ethics and the swift but fair administration of justice,â OU President Joseph Harroz said in the press release.Â
