"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.
"During Mr. Orr’s tenure abrogation proceedings — the most severe course of action OU can take to remove a tenured member of the faculty — he elected to resign, effective December 31, 2021," the email read. "He is no longer employed by the university.""
