Oklahoma University president to predecessor: 'Cross me again, and I will destroy you'

NORMAN, Okla. -- The relationship between OU President James Gallogly and his predecessor, David Boren, has crumbled amid threats and feuding over the financial status of the university and other issues, according to multiple sources within the university community.

Before he took office, Gallogly was critical of the university's financial status in a June 19 Board of Regents meeting. Boren countered with a letter on June 20 to The Norman Transcript, defending OU's finances and stating a significant part of the university's debt was bonded with scheduled payments.

Following the publication of that letter on June 20, Gallogly told a senior OU administrator to deliver a message to Boren: “You tell him that I am the meanest son of a bitch he has ever seen, and if he ever crosses me again, I will destroy him.”

The statement was confirmed by multiple sources who spoke to the Transcript on a condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal from Gallogly.

1. My, what a professional way to behave. I can't imagine what people

would be saying if Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton or any other woman said this.

2. Gallogly would have been a better fit for Trump University.
