Updated: Tuition Bill Vetoed by Gov. Henry; OU Regents Raise Tuition 5.8%. Coincidence?
2June 28, 2006 by Tyson Wynn
I recently opined about the Shurden bill (co-sponsored, by the way, by Claremore Republican Tad Jones) that would have taken the tuition-setting power back from the appointed State Regents, leaving it in the hands of the elected Legislature. Fortunately the bill passed in the special session of the Legislature. And then, Gov. Henry vetoed it because, in his estimation, it went beyond the scope of why he called the special session. And then, voila! today the OU Regents raise their tuition 5.8%. Are you all beginning to see how this works???
UPDATE: It’s like a domino effect. Everyone is getting into the act. Even my alma mater is raising tuition 6.8%.

Most people instinctively know somebody is running the
Governor Henry puppet. Some think it is State Treasurer
Scott Meacham or Cal Hobson, but the Grand POO-BAH is
David Boren. This guy needs some light shown into the cave
he operates out of. I recently heard a State Representative seek to
establish his bona fides buy recounting how he stood up to
David Boren when he rolled into the State House to throw
his weight around.
Boren? Surely not! I jest, of course. It is obvious that his influence is deep and wide, to quote an old Bible school song.
