HB 2297 which removes the restriction on colleges from hiring someone who has been on their board of regents in the last year, was approved by the OK House of Representative yesterday, and moves to the Senate.
If approved by the Senate, V. Burns Hargis may be able to get to work at OSU as its new president before July.
As part of his educational career, Burns Hargis has been very involved with the
Oklahoma Creativity Project, which is a comprehensive approach to changing the thinking of Oklahomans:
Creativity is not merely the act of producing a creative work. Creativity is the language we use, the way we think, and our ability to solve the problems that need solving.
In the following
video (click

State of Creativity Website, Burns Hargis explains how he is teaching his grandson about his hero, Theodore Roosevelt (leader of the
progressive movement and the
Progressive Party in the United States), and what Teddy Roosevelt stood for.
