"Tom Orr, former director of the OU School of Drama and university professor who faced several allegations of sexual harassment by former students, resigned effective Dec. 31, 2021, the university confirmed.
In an email to The Daily, an OU spokesperson wrote Orr chose to resign as proceedings reviewing his employment were underway.
