OSU’s woke DEI days of having a female leader are officially behind it!
Earlier today, former OSU president Kayse Shrum announced she is resigning as president of Oklahoma State-Tech-A&M effective February 3rd. The news comes just days after she allegedly tore her ACL while demonstrating the quality of OSU’s new field grass ahead of Super Bowl LIX!
Okay, I’m joking about her tearing an ACL, but Shrum’s decision to step down is very real, and in all honesty, not a very big surprise.
For about a year or so, I’ve been hearing grumblings via the Ogle Mole Network that Shrum has been near the top of Governor Stitt’s shit list. This was for two reasons:
• Unlike OU altar boy Joseph Harroz, she didn’t obey Stitt’s command to back away from woke DEI initiatives.
• Stitt wants her job!
I’m not trying to bury the lede here, but the word on Duck Street is that Kevin Stitt has presidential aspirations. The catch? Instead of being the most powerful man in the world, he’s apparently content being the most powerful man in Stillwater.
According to one orange-clad Mole, expect OSU to launch a big national search for its next president, and then—holy guacamole—Stitt will magically emerge as the guy. The Mole says it could take over a year, and some other political pieces will have to fall into place, but OSU President J. Kevin Stitt is a very real possibility.
Stitt doesn’t exactly scream college guy, but hey, it wouldn’t be the most surprising development.
With his gubernatorial reign of terror ending in a couple of years, he will need to find a new place to score his grifter buddies and YPO yes-men cushy jobs where they can enrich themselves off taxpayer dollars, and a large university system seems like a good place to do that. Who’s ready to hit up the Foggy Bottom Deli inside the Student Union?
Plus, he’ll enjoy prime football seats, clear all his son’s parking tickets, and—most importantly—get to pretend he has a PhD again!
Of course, that’s all just one Ogle Mole’s hunch.
I’m also hearing that Shrum—a Republican—is possibly considering a run for state office. Just like the Stitt conspiracy above, I don’t know if that’s true, but it’s worth tossing it out there in case it is!
Anyway, whatever she does, we wish Ms. Shrum the best of luck in her future endeavors, and especially in trying to figure out what to do with all the excess orange in her closet. Maybe she can donate it to the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, Oklahoma Department of Transportation, or one of Kevin Stitt’s brothers.
Stay with The Lost Ogle. We’ll keep you advised.
