OSU Press Release
“The action by the legislature today to create a pathway to fulfill a longstanding promise made by the State to match donations from hundreds of donors who contributed to endowed chairs at universities and colleges across Oklahoma is commendable. It is fitting the bill passed on Boone Pickens’ birthday. He was one of the most generous people ever to higher ed and a donor to the endowed chair program.
