Don't know the reason(s) why, and frankly I don't care.  At a minimum, it's a PR disaster for TU in the short term and an incredibly unfortunate circumstance for Orsak and his family.  Move forward and hopefully everyone lands on their feet.

From what I know Mr. Buck is an outstanding administrator and I would expect he would do well in a caretaker role.  He was at TU throughout the Upham years and that should help during the transition to a new President.  Stead did a great job and I hope the next President can continue to build on his successes, just I expected Orsak would.

Hosting parties for coeds, frequenting casinos, peeing in public, skipping your new-member orientation at Southern Hills and being quite demanding of your new staff are a great way to begin a new job as the face of a conservative, Midwestern private university!

He was at Flemings with TU muckety-mucks. Enjoyed a lovely meal and several bottles of wine.  Got really drunk.  Went out side and pissed in the bushes next to his car.

I don't have any information on whether he drove home or not, but the people he was dining with were not very impressed.

Very accurate....but you left out pressuring the school to buy the Skelly Mansion to live in. I bet the board will regret that one. Public indecency was just the straw that broke the camel's back....

I cant find the map of where sex offenders arent allowed to live, but my guess is Skelly Mansion is in there somewhere.

I thought Flemings was a family owned shoe store.

That's where the reject steaks and chops end up being used for shoe leather.

Maybe I should apply. I have a really strong bladder. Well except in the middle of the night. ::)

I heard this morning that Mr. Upham said he would stay on for up to two years while TU searches for another president.

Hopefully they vet their next choice a little better...

Note to the search committee:

Don't hire anyone who acts like a Switzer era Gooner.
