Stitt appoints senior adviser to University of Oklahoma governing board

OKLAHOMA CITY — Gov. Stitt appointed his senior adviser Thursday to University of Oklahoma’s governing board. 

He appointed Dustin Hilliary, who has also served as vice chair of the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, to serve on the oversight board for the state’s largest university along with Cameron and Rogers State universities. A spokesperson for the Governor’s Office said Hilliary will remain in his role as an adviser and if confirmed, he will resign from the State Regents.

“As a regent, he will put students first, insist on excellence in the classroom, and make sure OU is tightly aligned with the needs of Oklahoma employers across our state,” Stitt said in a statement. “Dustin is a proven leader in growing businesses and delivering results, and that’s exactly the kind of leadership we need on the OU Board of Regents.”
